Weigh in Monday.....300.5.....Really??? The scale couldn't move just one pound lower so I could be under 300???? I had to laugh....but at least it's going in the right direction.....

I made some really good brown/wild rice pilaf last night...used the bulk rice from Sprouts which has 3-4 different brown/wild grains....I sauteed some onions/celery/mushrooms then browned the rice before adding chicken broth to cook it in....it was really good....I made a big batch so I can freeze it which will come in handy....then I got some baby summer squash, about 4 different types, at the farm store and microwaved those last night....I am grateful that I like whole grains and veges....I can't imagine how hard it would be to try to lose weight if I didn't like all the healthy food...

I continue to be "in the groove"....just a couple cranky moments when I get impatient with how slow the scale moves....but I'm just impatient!!! I know I'm in this for the long term, it isn't a program I'll go on and off of....but a permanent change that I can live with for the rest of my life. Once I got used to it, I haven't missed sugar or white flour that much...elimintating those entire categories is easier for me than trying to eat those things in moderation....that was something I could never do...I would obsess over the cookeis or ice cream til it was gone...so, no sugar/no white flour....easy to say no to that stuff.....so far, anyway....
