Well, as unbelievable as it is, I have broken the 250 mark. It's not by much, but I'll take this as a victory. It's definitely an ego boost. When I try, I succeed. I posted the other day that "life was making me ...." and that was a cop out, life doesn't make me eat things I shouldn't and not exercise when I should - we all know the old story, no time, no energy, this is easier than making good food choices. Well, I realized it was not "circumstances", but my lazy self letting me get off plan. I know what I should eat, I know that I should exercise and no one else can do it for me. I know it's hard and takes a LOT of effort, but I said I wanted this. I wanted to control my sugars and weight, I want to be healthy. So, Wednesday, before bed I went over my posts and food diary, slapped myself :-) and got back on plan! The results blinked in my face this morning. I've been in the 250s and up all of my adult life. As I stared down at the scale this morning (and it registered in my sleepy brain) I was in shock, I was no longer over 250! I was under!
