As of this morning I am down 15.4 pounds since September 1st.
My eating has been wonderful but I’m going to try to increase the number of veggies I eat. I have not had junk for months but at Christmas I ate lots of turkey with the usual sides. We don’t live near “junk food” places any more so that temptation is gone.
I have not got back on to the Wii since the move but tomorrow is probably a good day for that. I have found out that there is a mall-walking club at the St. Laurent Centre. It is held only three mornings a week from 8:30 to 10:30, and I think I will investigate it. Good for the winter months. The pathways around our new house are great for walking and biking (in the spring) and are plowed early in the mornings. I just love the one near us.
So to recap:
- Not eating junk
- No guilt feelings
- No stress
- More frequent exercise
- Weight loss: 15.4 lbs.
My reward for losing 20 pounds, which I hope will happen by the end of March, is to buy myself a new pair of jeans. Maybe I’ll even take a photo for that occasion.
I think this “old girl” is learning some “new tricks”.
Old Girl New Tricks 
Not so much “tricks” as just good, common sense. Well done, great job!
Maybe it’s a trick of the mind. I just decided to not diet and still lose weight and my attitude has paid off. Thanks for the encouragement. – Maureen
Whee, this sounds great! And eating lots of veggies definitely helps to feel good! I think I eat 2 lbs of veggies a day, in the average. My whole diet is based on veggies now, and I’m finally feeling well. 🙂
Yay for the Wii! So cool you also have one! 😀
I think this old girl will start to follow your example ! 🙂
Eat healthy food and exercise more. That’s it. No eating between meals or after supper. Good luck. – Maureen
Need to read back a few posts and see all of your recommendations. Doctor wants me to lose twenty pounds. Yikes. Congratulations on your weight loss. I’m envious.
Hi: Thanks for reading. All I did was the following: On September 1, I decided I was ready to cut out all junk food. I do not eat between or after my evening meal. I do not eat junk food. That’s it! I do not feel guilty if I have something on a special occasion, but I don’t go overboard. And now, four and A half months later, I am down more than 15 pounds. I do walking and the Wii for exercise. Good luck on your weight loss journey. – Maureen
Congratulations on the weight loss … That is so great.
Thanks. I am enjoying the challenge of eating better. – Maureen
