Well good morning! I woke up at 5am and got up, went potty, drank 8 ounces of water, and then got back in bed to play games on my phone. I took my son to school, came home and had an unhealthy breakfast of an energy drink and 3 small sugar cookies (I made them last night), and now am ready to get moving. Smaller plates really does look like bigger portions.
I think I did well yesterday. I hit my step goal, exercise goal, even food goal!
Today I will do it again. Maybe I need to up my numbers because I’ve been doing this for 2 weeks and I gained those 2 pounds last week and am afraid to get on my scale yet!
Today I take Styled to the dentist and visit Forgetful for lunch. That’s it! It’s my slow time of year when I don’t make much but still have bills to pay plus presents for the kiddo and mother. It’s not easy! Well, this year my son is getting what he asked for because it’s the first time I actually can. Next year, he probably won’t get much of anything since I’ll be broke again. The bills will be paid though so I am not complaining!
I only made the sugar cookies yesterday but I got out my moms mixer so I can do the rest of the cookies. Holiday time and making all these cookies makes me want to eat them so I’ve either got to resist the temptation or exercise more. I haven’t figured out which one I want to do yet. I’m definitely making the cookies though. I have some friends that have told me it’s not Christmas until I bring them cookies. Isn’t that sweet? I stopped giving them out to everyone when my kitchen started to look like it had been taken over by said cookies a few years ago but I still give them to a select few.
That’s it for now, I forgot to tell my mom about a call for her I got! See ya!
hoooray for julie days!

Yea but not for me. I’m addicted to sugar so If I have one of those I won’t be able to eat just a few like you did. Then I wouldn’t be able to fight the urge to eat similar foods the day after. I can use sugar substitutes but pure cane or brown sugar I have issues

It was when I hit 400. Iβm not skinny by any means, I still fight the good fight to rid myself of the last 40 pounds. Iβm glad I did it though. I have an old post about it somewhere with pictures π

I’ll check it out when I get a second. Congrats to you. The only reason I can’t do it is I can’t honestly say that I’ve tried everything.

I prefer if people do it without surgery. Why put yourself through something you donβt have to do?
