still in my maintenance period. What does that mean exactly? I've re-introduced some fav foods one at a time to see what influences my weight as well as my wellbeing.
Wheat - how I love thee but you make me feel sluggish and bloated. will I give up on you? no, but we will be seeing less of each other. You dont make me feel very good and in some sick way, the more I eat of you the more I want you and the less well I feel. It's just not healthy to hang around you much.
Corn - fresh, as a dried meal - Wow. I'm now a midwesterner that doesnt eat corn. You're just nutritionally empty despite your good looks and lovely scent. I gain weight when I eat you and I'm highly suspect of your GMO status. I dont like how Big Farming and the industrial complex have shoved your every form into nearly everthing they sell. You've become an industrial by-product and though I miss the good ole' days, I'm breaking it off. Goodbye. Same with most cheeses and dairy. I have about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of nonfat milk wit my coffee. I drink 2 cups & i start the day with a cup of hot lemon water to get my system going. If I need a hot drink I have an herbal tea - no prob as I like them generally speaking. I dont drink sodas or fruit juices unless I've pressed them myself - just then!
So I've made it half way through the holidays and a 10 day trip to the tropics while staying within my 4# range. Good maintenance. I must say I need to keep an eye on sugar. Now that I'm eating it in small quantities, I crave it.
In a few weeks I will be back into a weightloss phase. My goal is to be healthy and my lifelong 'normal' weightrange has been 120 - 125# on my medium 5' frame.
