Put what in my mouth?

"Self delusion is pulling in your stomach when you step on the scales."

Helloooo Gorgeous! Here's hoping that everyone had a productive day like I did. I finally had an afternoon of clarity and was able to focus all of my attention in efforts into trying to complete a logo job that I have at the moment. It feels good to have sent out the choices and it be out of my hands for the time being. Hopefully the client likes one and we can go from there. Keep your fingers crossed. 
Not only did I creatively kick some butt today but I was also able to get moving after dinner and have my sister Trudy and her fiance Richard come in to walk at the qplex. Did not do as much as usual, but what matters is that we did it and we did it for a half an hour at least.

Tonight I also feel like I should explain that there is additional side to my new lifestyle that some people may not be aware of. I'm not just trying to move more but I'm trying to eat more. Back in April I started at Simply For Life (SFL) with Keith McHugh. SFL provides me with menus as well as an eating schedule that I now follow. Each week I go in for a meeting, chat and get weighed in to see how I've done. For any of you that have heard of SFL before, believe me, it is a completely different than it used to be. No more greens with just vinegar, you would not believe the variety and choices.
The almost laughable thing to my weight loss journey is that it wasn't that I was eating the wrong things...I wasn't eating enough or as often as I should have been. Sure like everyone else I had my days where I ate things that no one should ever put their bodies but by in large my tastebuds are setup for earthy foods, not lab foods. I believe that not eating enough started when I was in middle school. I felt back then that I obviously was not thin/pretty enough for everyone else and the last thing I wanted was for people to see the "fat girl" putting food into her face. So at some point during the day I would throw the healthy lunch that my mother made (we very rarely ever had processed food) into the trash. This kept me from eating it and from getting in trouble that night when Mom asked for our lunch boxes to fill them for the next day (so much food wasted...I should be ashamed).
Another important thing that I have learnt is....DRINK WATER! I must have been a variety of Atherton raisin before because there would be days I honestly would drink hardly anything. I now consume at least three liters of water a day. Myself and the lieu are now well acquainted but if its going to help things shrink, I'm all for it.
I hope you all (anyone that reads this) had a fantastic day and here is to tomorrow being even better.
*To Trudy and Richard best of luck with Avalon at the vet tomorrow in Moncton. I will be thinking about you both and her. Give her a squeeze for me. 
Yours til hell freezes,
Gillian
