So hard work has paid off. I am back down 20 pounds. It has been an effort but I am trying to stick with it. I've been sick. I've been lazy. I've made excuses. But I've also tried to stick with it.
The fall has dawned with such vibrant color. I am trying to remember to embrace those colors in my meals. It is so easy to order McDonalds or pizza. But those are not healthy options. The other day at a restaurant I had cheesy corn out (a combination of corn, peppers, cheese and cream). I tasted the yumminess and deciphered what it would take to create a lighter version. I plan on serving that soon for guests.
Trying to eat a larger variety of vegetables. Still not my favorite. But much better for me. So I keep trying. And I keep trying to avoid the Halloween candy. It's on sale. That doesn't mean I have to have it in the house for weeks before the date. Pumpkin cakes are available again. It's that yummy time of year. Again, doesn't mean I need to have them piling up in the apartment. I think maybe this all is finally denting.
