I'm Back... and I'm Proud!

Ok.. I took a few weeks off.. .away from 'the food'. Maybe it was the change of weather, I don't know. But I am thankful that I learned enough while on the Seattle Sutton meal program that I could recognize the portion size I should be eating instead of the size I used to eat... And because of that, I didn't gain ANY of my weight back during my 'break'. I also learned many new foods I could include in my daily diet where before I was a bit at a loss of what to eat that would be good for me! So unlike the Jenny Craig type programs where they hand you the food and say eat it... this FRESH prepared food program does teach you what to buy at the store, or order in a restaurant, if you let it. Let's face it, Jenny's food (I call it pouch food) isn't sold in stores or restaurants....
So after my brief "va-ca" away, I am now back to ordering and picking up meals. I started back on Monday Oct 16th... and my grand total weight loss as of yesterday was 17 lbs - ir 16.5 if you use a digital world to be precise. (Close enough for me!)

I am very proud of myself and will continue to move forward. I feel much more energetic and happy! I look forward to having to replace many wardrobe items!
Keep on Truckin!
