Primal Progress: BIG Milestone, and observances
This morning, weighed in at 174 from a start weight of 185. This is a milestone for several reasons:
1. I am now down MORE than ten pounds, ten pounds being a "yes, we're serious about it" sort of threshold.
2. Taking into account the implant "tare weight," I now weigh LESS than I did pre-mastectomy in 2004. Big Deal, that!
3. I have learned that I *can* do cheese and dairy and not imperil/impinge on sticking to Primal eating.
NEXT BIG GOAL will be a weight of 165. That is the top of my "wow, I look terrific" weight range.
OBSERVANCE: I did do sugar over the weekend (tried the chocolate truffle recipe in the Primal Cookbook, and nibbled on a couple of pieces of candied ginger in the supply pantry while doing so). Was completely exhausted yesterday, to the point of NEEDING a 90 minute nap in the middle of the afternoon, which isn't my style. Today I seem to be back to normal, so that was a good lesson.
