Weight Loss Journey Week 10

Well the scales aren't exactly showing a whole lot of progress (5 pounds to date), but my clothes sure are! Must be those pesky inches!

I think the biggest change I see and feel is how much better we're eating.  It's amazing how you feel when you eat only freshly made foods and steer clear of processed foods and sugars.  I still struggle with the now-and-again glass of wine, which eats up (no pun intended LOL) my daily points and the end of the day.  I've had to find other means to wet my whistle at the end of a long work day, and reserve enjoying spirits and wine for the weekends only.  It hasn't been that difficult.  I love Snapple Teas and they go well with everything.

Big W made the most amazing sammie last night for dinner.  The recipe will be below.  All I can say is this was AMAZE-BALLS and nutritious as well.  Who can't love turkey, pears and mozzarella cheese on bread???  Lord help me, it was good. 

That's the thing.  Food tastes so much better to me.  I enjoy my meals, and I don't just woof food down because I'm bored, over hungry or depressed.

To anyone starting or thinking about starting a weight reduction -LIFE AND MINDSET CHANGING - plan, you can do it!!  It's NOT a diet.  It's changing the way you think and respond to food.  I've also had to deal with many of my own personal food triggers, and that in itself has been life changing.

I want you know I'm here....whatever you need.  Food ideas, moral support, or just be a sounding board!!

Have a beautiful day.
