Numbers

Yep, it's been ten days on the new eating plan.  It feels comfortable and healthy.  No drama. No draconian limitations on food, so I am not mentally fighting the change....yet.   I know this is going to take a while.  But, I am already feeling the results of eating less junk food.....a little less bloated.

I don't weigh myself.  The numbers play with my head unless they are going down.  If the number in my head doesn't match the number on the scale, I can become so self-defeating.  For now, I am avoiding it....the scale, and  may never get on it.

I can say this.  I am a size 16.  Three years ago I was a size 10.  It makes me so mad.  I have great clothes in my closet that I won't be wearing anytime soon.  But I keep them in my closet, always with the hope that some day.........

I am 5' 5", and my figure is such that at about 145 lbs., I look like I weigh a normal weight, even on the slender side.  I am curvy and at 145, the curves don't bulge... if you know what I mean.

I will do my little power walk today.  I had intended to walk 7 days per week.  I spend each weekend at a baseball tournament, so I thought I would walk around the fields.....I sat in my chair.  I guess five days will have to do.  My legs were hurting at the end of last week.  The rest did me a world of good.  I am ready to go!
