Days 17 & 18 - Slowin down

Things are really slowing down with the weight loss. I know I was expecting it, but still I had hoped it would continue down until I was closer to 200 lbs. I have been hovering around the 223 - 225 mark for a couple days. I have maintained my eating habits well as far as i can tell.

At this point it is getting a bit harder to eat for a couple reasons...1. My variety is starting to suffer. Seems like all I really do for a meal any more is slap together a pile of veggies and chow down. I eat small amounts of meat proteins and supplement with whey protein. 2. When I cruise through the supermarket, I cant find anything I really want to eat. I look at labels and all I see are the numbers. I don't want to take in all the crap that's wrapped up in all the foods I used to like.

I think my day off mission will have to be to find dishes that meet my personal requirements for heal and flavour. I will do my very best to get at least 1/2 dozen new recipes for everyone to try out. I would imagine that others following will not be in the exact mindset that I am with regards to the health level of the recipes, so I will try hard to be more relaxed in my choices of recipes to post.

When it is all said and done, I am thankful that I have the friends that I have, following my blog. I draw a great amount of strength and will power to continue to find my way through the knowledge that I may be inspiring people just by making my way from unhealthy to healthy living. The great comments I receive at work really boost my confidence and make me want to do better.

I have set up a group on Facebook to help us all find partners to go to the gym with. I encourage you all to plan days ahead of time. If you plan ahead and have a partner, you (and I) will be less inclined to fluff off the exercise that is so vital to our health.

I have not done a thing with my web site. Working night followed by day really limits the time I have to work on the site. I will try to find more time to get the site under way so we have a better method to keep in touch and share information.

That's all I have for now. I am off to find some recipes...and or sleep.
