So I am down 6.8lbs so far this year. That's about (17 days / 6.8lbs) .4lbs a day. Not bad for second week of changes. I figure a loss is a loss and as long as I keep losing, I'm better off then before.
Next week is my birthday. I've mentally planned for some things. In the past, I would get three celebrations which would involve heavy foods and cake. This year, I decided not to do a party at home, rather inviting friends to meet us for a movie. Hoping that #1 that eliminates that cake and #2 that I can balance out my days next week to compensate a little popcorn. I also asked my step mom to see if she can make me a glutten free carrot cake (Carrot cake is a tradition for my birthday) and we'd have a chef salad dinner. The last place is my in laws house, but I'm hoping with my mother in laws injuries that I can gently let her off the hook and not have a party there at all. That means going from 3 cakes to 1 healthy alternative cake. I still want to lose and also celebrate my birthday. I'll keep you posted.
I have to say that up until last night, I didn't want any desserts. Last night I caved into Duane and made some choco chip cookies. A small batch. I had 2 cookies too many (3 in total) because my tummy was not liking all that and I felt sick mins after eating it. This I am seeing as a good sign. All of this drinking smoothies and trying to get in more veggies, reducing breads to almost nothing has to be doing something right?

Good for you, this is great progress! Feeling sick after eating grains is a sign your body can't handle them. Not to criticize but it's better to eliminate flour than to go gluten free. They add a ton of chemicals and overly process to remove the gluten. If you're interested I have a recipe for an almond flour based all real food carrot cake that's quite yummy. It's been my birthday cake a few times :)
Keep it up girl, so proud of you :)
