And not just on the scale, but on a total health management and lifestyle changes. As you remember, I am on the Fat Trimmer Plan. Basically, I get 65% complex carbs (yummy fruits and vegetables) 15% protein and 20% healthy fats. I feel the diet is going well. I have plenty to eat, more than plenty sometimes I cannot eat all that is allotted to me. For example, on Wednesday for lunch I made a vegetable soup, it was very tasty and filling, so filling in fact I couldn’t eat all the crackers or fruit that was meant to go with it. I didn’t eat the allotted afternoon snack either as I was still really full from lunch. I am eating no less than a total of 8 servings of fruit and veggies a day. I LOVE this. Love it, love it, love it. Summertime is the season for fruits and vegetables and I am enjoying it and can this year as I am not on some forced unhealthy diet. God put the fruits and vegetables on this earth for us to eat! He did not have potato chips or frozen meals sprouting from the grown or blossoming on trees. I feel better and I have more energy.
The results, this week I am down almost ¾’s of a pound. Walt has dropped 3 ½ pounds. Again, I am celebrating, I am down! And as I wrote last week, I had a party weekend the drinks were flowing, the food was abundant and the girl time was GREAT! Life is a celebration. Again, I will be celebrating on Saturday. My husband and I are celebrating our 9th anniversary. We will be hitting one of our favorite restaurants, Riviera Supper Club, owned by a friend Colleen Stuart. Riviera always serves fabulous food and they have a great wine list. I just need to remember to make wise choices or exercise more.
This leads me into this paragraph. Exercise. I actually did begin an exercise plan this week. Only 3 days ago. I could feel sore muscles. Okay so I felt like an extremely old lady, every time I bent down I groaned. It took me 5 times as long to roll over in bed, and I groaned. But it felt good. My body needed it. And once my muscles get use to me moving again it will release the water it is retaining and I should see another drop in weight.
And finally, do not ever get too busy for your girlfriends….ever…there has been those emails that circulate about how your girlfriends will always be there. I had the most fantastic birthday with my girls.
We had it at Nordstrom’s and it was fantastic. We had drinks, hors d’oeuvres, truffles, birthday cake, makeovers, and we shopped for outfits. Truly a girl’s night out. We were going to go see a show too, but we ended up staying there until an hour after closing. Nordstrom’s were very accommodating. Enjoy some pictures of that evening below.
As always, Breathe Chic
