First Male Compliment!!!!

Rate this Entry
This morning I've had two positive experiences already! First, I got on the scale and have officially broken the 140 barrier... I'm now 139!!! Second, I got to work and just have on my work clothes but haven't put on my jacket thing I normally wear to keep warm... and one of the guys said "hey skinny... you losin' weight??" BEAMS Why YES I am in fact!!!!

So for Easter, my mom cooked roast and trimmings... which every enjoyed, along with the cake for dessert. I had Alissa's zucchini pasta & a salad.... no cake for me thanks!!! Wasn't difficult, and the cool part was that all day long everyone was asking me about raw and smoothies. This is all new for them, so I *think* I've convinced them to at least add a quart of smoothie a day to their existing diet!!! YAY!!!! My brother was blown away with the fact that I was actually "awake". With my thyroid, and the way I was eating I was chronically tired. This time tho... no naps and I felt great! I also went to the grocery store and introduced mom to some green leavy veggies. She didn't know a lot of them even existed. So she picked up some as well as an avocado. Hey... I actually inspired someone!!!!!

Beyond that I did some rowing at moms on her archaic rowing machine. This thing has to be like 20 years old lol... but it felt great using it. I think I'm going to have to get to the new complex to do some swimming soon... just so I can enjoy doing something other than treadmill!!! My body isn't in fantastic shape look-wise, but swimming will help right?!?!

So I've decided that I want to buy a Needak rebounder. Can't wait until I can... I have to buy it and have it shipped to the US. Then go pick it up... that is, unless there is actually a distributor in MI somewhere.

This morning I have 2 quarts of smoothie, cucumber & a big salad to eat. I may go to the grocery store a break to see about getting some fruits.

O'kay, enough blathering... I'll check back in later!!!

    That is so great! I know what you mean about folks noticing! For me, it is my skin...2 people have said out of the blue how much better my skin looks....it is so great to feel validated that what you are doing is the right thing and natural at that! Congrats to you for sticking to it...especially for Easter dinner...I wasn't as strong!
