TODAY IS THE HALF WAY POINT!
Let me begin by saying...I am so sorry I haven't been posting the past 2 days but now I am back and more excited than ever! Today is the half way point and what better of day than today to go and visit family. (These people have not seen me since I started this journey) Anyways, today was a test for myself to see if all this hard work has paid off. I would say that it surly has. I walked into the home and my family was in shock with the way I have changed in such a short amount of time. I will say that at this point I have lost 8 lbs which is beyond amazing to me! I know I keep saying oh its not about the weighloss but, it makes you feel so great when you see that number that you hate seeing on the scale get smaller. I feel amazing! I have so much more energy and I am just enjoying every moment of this.
"No thank-you no biscuits."
Today I got to go to lunch with a woman who has supported me since I was very young. She has believed in me through thick and thin and who I look up to very very much. Anyways, at lunch we sat down to eat. Which we have done MANY times before. She knows my love for bread, I mean anyone who has eaten breakfast, lunch, dinner, or snacks with me, knows my love for bread. Used to I would of gone right to the hamburgers and ordered that with french fries, or fried shrimp with a diet coke which would of ended up being around 4 diet cokes during my meal. Today was a whole different story. It started like this.. I ordered my water and then the question I used to get so excited I could hardly sit still came up..."Would you like biscuits?" I felt as though an inner strength responded for me. I calmly and without even thinking said "No thank you no biscuits" It felt AMAZING!!! Did I really just turn away bread?! I did and didn't even feel bad about it! I then proceeded to order grilled asparagus, tilapia and shrimp. The kicker with this was it was supposed to have this parmesan cream sauce all over it, not on my plate! I asked them to put it on the side in which I tasted it but really didn't even like that! I loved my meal! I didn't feel horrible after I felt full and satisfied. Why have I not been eating like this for years?!
All in all, today was great! I might not be noticing quite yet that my body is changing but I have gotten many different compliments from people saying they can see it. Advocare is helping me change my life and I'm ready!! :)
