It is strange what you think when you watch your own videos - what is going on with my bottom teeth?

My weight loss update

It has been an exciting time for me..... I have finally broke through my 45 lb curse.... more times than I would  like to admit, I have lost 45 lbs and then proceeding to gain it back.

Now I am 73 lbs down!!! and still going strong!!

I have been reading every book I can get my hands on, and with trial and error, trying to see what really works for me.

I enjoyed doing the fruit, smoothie and veggie plan, but after about a week I had so much joint pain.  One of the best things about losing the weight has been the absence of pain.  But one week on the sweet carbs, all natural, really brought the pain back.  I have always read that sugar causes inflammation, but I was hoping it was just the bad sugar and not the sugar in fruits.

I have also discovered that exercise, while helping to firm up and maintain health, has had SO little impact on my weight loss.  That is good and bad.  It is a relief not to have to try and kill myself with cardio, but I would have preferred it having a bigger impact on my weight loss.

Currently I am following a low carb plan, and have been really intrigued by the Primal Blueprint.  Intermittent fasting has also really helped me get into ketosis and fat burning mode.

I started this new journed on 9/6/2013 and today is 3/16/2014 and I am down 73 lbs.!!!

One month as a vegan

Well it has been a month and I am down 14 pounds, but more importantly, feeling like a  new person.  I can't remember when I have felt this energized.  I am amazed at the amount of food I am able to eat and still lose weight.

I have read all of the books at the library I can find on the subject and have tried a few good recipes.  One of my favorites so far has been the Veggie Meatloaf - it didn't taste just like the meat version - but I loved the flavors

VEGGIE MEATLOAF

1 cup lentils

3 cups water or veggie broth

salt

simmer for 25 minutes

mix 3 T flax with 1/2 cup water - let sit

then saute an onion, celery, and carrots for 6 minutes

mix all and add

oregano

walnuts

1/2 cup bread crumbs

heat over to 350 and bake for 40 minutes

you can add a topping

1 T ketchup

1 T pure maple syrup

1 T balsamic vinegar

What a year this has been

This year has been a great year and a hard year all in one..... and my weight has reflected that as well.

Sometimes when you have so much going on in your life it is hard to concentrate on yourself and especially your weight.  During the tough times, food can be a great solace and during the fun times it is such a reward. Eating has been both for me.
The outcome, naturally is not what I would like.  And of course now the holidays are coming just around the corner.  I have been slowing down a little on the food intake and plan to be reasonable during the holidays.  Wish me luck :)

Maintaining Weight Loss - Keeping Busy

I have been trying to maintain my weight loss from last year - I lost 48 lbs. last year and then the holidays hit.  I ate and ate and then after they were over I continued to eat.

I have kept off about 35 lbs and have settled down with the overeating and am getting ready to get headed in the right direction again.

I have been keeping busy - working on a lot of sewing projects.

I have also been hosting a weekly craft club - but this has developed into an eating club too - everyone brings something to munch on - an naturally alot of this is sweets and high fat items.

My Isagenix Journey

The month of July was a waste - birthday month - this is a habit I am going to need to change.  Long ago I started having a birthday week and later a birthday month, where I eat, drink and be merry with a few (too many) of my closest friends.

Of course I don't combine my friends and have one party.  No, I meet up with them individually and eat, drink and be merry with each one.  Well, at least it is only one month out of the year!

So, the good news is that I didn't gain any weight back, so I am still at the 45 pounds lost mark. YEA...
