I have not noticed family, friends or coworkers treating skinny me any differently. Well, you do compliment and congratulate me on my thin appearance. I do like that. But for the most part, I am still me and you know that and act accordingly. It is fun to see the shock register on the faces of those who have not seen me in a long time.
Yesterday, I lost 1.6 pounds. I was not at all trying to lose weight. I was just keeping the weight off. This is by far not the first time I have lost weight on keep trim eating. It's nice! It means I can indulge a little today. I will save most of this indulgence room for tomorrow as it is Sunday and they always have treats out after church service during the coffee fellowship hour.
I daresay this picture could be an ad for Levi's 505 jeans! Heh! I look so honored to be able to wear them. I love this gymnast-style white top, too.
I didn't go on a formal walk yesterday, but I shopped at TJ Maxx and Winco Foods. Here is what I ate and lost 1.6 pounds:
Small bowl of Special K, strawberries and organic soy milk
2 pieces of toasted Kirkland whole wheat bread
2 tablespoons Skippy superchunk peanut butter and 2 teaspoons Smucker's strawberry preserves
1 Beef and bean burrito, 2 tablespoons salsa
1 small apple, 2 tablespoons peanut butter, 1 tablespoon semi sweet chocolate chips
Small bowl of kettle corn
Small bowl of strawberries drizzled with a tablespoon of Hershey's Special Dark chocolate syrup
Hello Cherise, Congratulations on your weight loss! I just read through your blogs and it has been very inspiring to read and see the change in your pictures.
ReplyDeleteI have been on Scarsdale diet on and off through the years and it worked great for me but lately I have to say I can't seem to be able to lose as much weight. I think now that I am 49 is harder for me, I don't excercise very much, although I do want to lose 30lbs that i have been trying to lose for the past 10 years and keep gaining back. I Have a question did you follow the scarsdale religiously and also what kind of activity do you do. Because my husband and I are very inactive. Again congratulations and please keep sharing.
Hi Patty! No, I did not follow the precise Scarsdale diet exactly. Rather, I ate two weeks of lean meat and veggies, and then I ate two weeks of lean meat, veggies, and a few treats thrown in.
ReplyDeleteFor exercise, I walk. I will be 49 myself, in June. Walking is the safest thing we can do, I think. I walk as fast as I can, for at least 20 minutes every day. Most days, I take my dog and walk outside, even in the rain and snow. Sometimes I walk indoors, at Walmart or Costco or around the halls of the school where I substitute teach.
I blogged exactly what I ate each day along with how much walking I did and how much weight I gained or lost. If you want, you can just pick and choose from days I lost and copy what I did! :)
