A whole new world

This last week was awesome, totally awesome!! I ended up losing 6.8 lbs on my new eating plan, which I might add totally rocks! I eat more, feel full and satisfied and I haven't had any cravings.

Today, at church they had the biggest Cinnimon rolls ever, and I walked away not even wanting one. This is a one day at a time thing, but I know that I'm going to make it this time, because I have all the tools I need to make me successful.

My daughter-in-law was here for two weeks and she and I cooked. She taught me different ways to do thing, that was so helpful. I know now that I will be able to suceed!

Loving life and my new attitude!

Whats this thing called diet? how about a lifestyle change?

For years, I have been going on about how I am going to make this a lifestyle change and not a diet. Once again I started weight watchers with my husband awhile ago. This time I went kicking and screaming (not really, I do love weight watchers meetings), I didn't I just felt that this was not the direction I wanted to go. I lost almost 10 lbs and then started not caring about my points plus values, so I gained 6 lbs.

I have been revamping my house. My sweet daughter-in-law Renee is here, she is going through my pantry and putting everything I can't have in a box (filled it right up). I decied to take her challenge and live dairy free, I started this slowly right after Christmas of last year (2011). We had got to the point where we were about 75% dairy free.

Today, I report that as of 4 days ago, I am dairy free. YEAH! I kept telling Renee, that I needed something to replace something she was taking away, that ended up not being so bad.  My cabinets are mostly dairy free, I think I still have Jello Pudding and chocolate chips in the cabinet, therefore, I am going to need to replace those too.

So, as of Friday when I weighed in I weighed 287.00, and as of today Monday, May 7, 2012 I was down to 283.6.

I will post tips, ways to cut back and what to look for on lables. I've learned so much!
