Half a pound a week
I find it amusing, ironic, and gratifying that, now I have given up on diets and calorie counting and obsessing over my weight... I am losing weight steadily and slowly, about half a pound a week average.
Of course, I give credit where its due. I did learn better eating habits and cooking skills, developed tastes for veggies and fruit, and I not only drink more water, I crave a glass of cool, clean H2O over diet sodas or juices. Coffee and caffeinated tea I miss alot--you will still catch me sipping on some strong, sweet tea rather frequently, but I'm trying to stick to decaf.
I guess since I got back from my vacation, my metabolism has shifted a bit, and the occasional walks with J and the dogs (now single dog, poor Max is now playing in the meadow beyond the Rainbow Bridge) and the labour I perform at work is registering well as 'exercise' on my puffy ol body. I drug out my digital scale and am being bowled over every Sunday afternoon when I step up.
*sound of knocking on wood*
