Month four - 275

SEVENTY ONE POUNDS!

I have lost 71 pounds in little over three months. That is my official weight as of Halloween. I was on cloud 9 aaaaalllllllll day. I walk differently, stand differently. Damn, I think I am hot! LOL

Okay, I am not hot. I still have 75+ pounds to go. I will be happy at 190, but would love to see 175. If it happens.....whatever. As long as I am under 200, I will be stoked.

We went for tricks or treats around the neighborhood. I was able to keep up with the kids. In fact, they tired out before I did. Then again, I wasn't running from sidewalk to door to sidewalk to the next house to the door to the sidewalk. They probably did two or three times the distance I actually did!

I admit, I have been chipping at the Halloween candy. But I can only have a "fun size" piece of chocolate. That puts me at my sugar intake limit. Get that weird feeling I have talked about before. What great insurance! Eat more than I am supposed to and I get sick. Therefore, I am afraid to eat more than I should. Of course, I could alleviate all of that and NOT eat sugar, but why!??!

Still having a hard time eating in a table setting. Feel the need to keep up with the pack. Much easier by myself with a distraction. Hell, I can get full just tasting what I am preparing! Little lick there, little bite here.

OMG! I found THE MOST FABULOUS tea at Whole Foods Market . It is called INKO's and tastes sooooooo good. I find it to be very refreshing and I don't miss soda when I drink it. It is available in nine amazing flavors: Honeydew, Blueberry, Mint, Peach, Apricot, Cherry Vanilla, Honeysuckle, Lychee and Original. Need to go stock up on that stuff....

After experimenting with the Halloween candy, I find that I keep going back to frozen fruit bars and popsicles, especially Dreyer's No-Sugar Added Fruit Bars. They curb my carb craving and refresh (hydrate) at the same time. And they have never caused me any nausea. Can't get any better than that!
