Made it through Thanksgiving with only a small bump in the road. Was able to eat turkey with gravy, yams and cranberry sauce without any problems. I thought I waited long enough before having pumpkin pie, but apparently not. I got a little too full and the pie didn't stay down. I suppose it had to happen at least once so I could figure out my "stop now" point.
I am still struggling with eating too fast and not drinking enough water. I really have to be aware of the amount of food I put on my plate so I don't eat too much since I'm not taking a full 20 minutes to eat. I have to be careful not to overeat or I get a very uncomfortable feeling. Sticking to a meal plan is way easier on work days, I had a hard time when I was off for five days! (Especially with two fridges full of leftovers.) I have been feeling dehydrated so my focus for the next week is to drink at least two bottles of water every day...wish me luck!
This week's highlights:
The holiday goodies have started piling up at work and so far I'm not too tempted, although I did succumb to a small Cranberry Bliss bar yesterday.
Went to Macy's and bought new black pants for work - FOUR SIZES SMALLER!
Took my boys to the vet Saturday all by myself. Was able to carry both of them without my back hurting! (Thor weighed in at 18.8 pounds and Loki at 9.9 pounds)
Got back on my exercise bike. Starting slow with a mile at a time, working up to going back to the gym with husband and granddaughter on Tues & Thurs nights.
Lost 2.6 pounds this week, not weighing as often since I've stabilized.
Have a great week! Thanks again for your support.
