Whoosh!

Though I hate the huge gain, oh how I love the whoosh!  However, I wouldn't recommend it as a dieting pattern to follow. (Hey!  Where are the smileys on this thing? lol)  Eleven pounds lost this week.  Yes, I was indeed floating a week ago today.  Back on land and into a new "decade" - the 60's!

(Right now as I write this I'm eating Wheat Chex.  Don't you love how "meaty" it is?  Really substantial food.)

Recently I bought a pretty "dessert" plate on which to eat my meals - one of those trendy square jobs with a lovely design.  The reason?  As part of my portion control program, the food I eat is swallowed up in my big dinner plates.  This way I can deceive myself a little into thinking I'm actually getting a good amount of food, though the portions are fairly small.

This week I will be joining another health club facility which has a pool so I can train for the swimming portion of the tri.  I'm a bit trepidatious about this because I hate how I look in a swimsuit.  My legs are just hanging with cellulite and extra skin - my arms too.  I have to block those feelings of inadequacy, ignore the stares and go full speed ahead.  This is what's best for my health.

Do what is best for you today!
