Dream Book

This is my Dream Book. It is my present for breaking the 330 mark. Monday's official number was 328.8 pounds. That's a loss of 21.2 pounds since I began and 11.2 pounds since the beginning of July.

I am missing the white stuff (sugar, salt, flour, potatoes) but it's not too bad. I have allot of vegtables and fruit cut up and ready to eat when I'm hungry.

What's hard is eating tons of protein. I've never been much of a meat eater and eggs are not my favorite either, but in low doses throughout the day is easier.

I do feel better, with more energy, less sluggish. My mind also seems clearer. I think between the exercise and "bad" carbs, I am refreshing my system. My clothes are feeling looser, too.

Oops, almost forgot: in my Dream Book I will put pictures and notes of things I want and things I want to accomplish. I must do something instead of eat, because Food is Fuel, not Love.

Have you tried -- edamame in the shell? Put a handful in a small glass dish. Add just a splash of water. Cook for about 3 minutes (frozen) in the microwave. Eat them from the shell.

They are high in protein, have a bit of a buttery taste without adding butter, and eating them from the shell means you eat them slow, extending the munching pleasure.

Oh! I forgot to say:

Nessa, that is blooming fantastic! Wow! You are certainly making progress. And I love the idea of a dream book. You know what? I think I will go and make up one of my own now.

Quilly: I will look into those. I've never heard of them. And thanks.

Jenn: I am taking your advice and rewarding myself in ways other than food. Oh, good, another thing we can do together. Nothing like focasing the mind in specific ways to get things accomplished.
