Two weeks and counting: Living with my Health Coach.

Boy has time flown. 

Last Friday I weighed in and it showed I had lost a total of 8 pounds in two weeks, whoo hoo!  Tomorrow is week three.  I can't wait to weigh tomorrow. 

This past week was very interesting.  Saturday everyone had gone to Seattle and it was me and two wonderfully active grandkids for the weekend.  By Sunday I was exhausted and experiencing PMS.  I soon realized I was an emotional eater, which I had known but never seen it so black and white.  I wanted to eat so badly.  I finally sat down with a bowl of celery, probably more than three stalks, but I didn't care.  It didn't completely kill the need to eat, eat, and eat some more, but it did help a bit.

At work I have been very busy with getting my responsibilities tided up since tomorrow is my last offcial day at work.  I have gone three hours between meals.  I noticed that I would sometimes be hungrier sooner at the next meal.  I tried to wait the 2 1/2 hours, but if I needed to eat at 2 hours I would.  It seemed that if I ate at 2 hours, my body would be fine by the next 2 1/2 hours.

I have to tell you about the Chicken & Wild Rice soup, it is so good.  I put a chicken bullion and some celery in it.  Delicious, but you need to know that it takes about 10 minutes before you get to eat it.

I hope I don't wait too long to blog next time.  I plan to blog weekly with my weigh ins.  Can't wait till tomorrow.  I'm hoping for 2 pounds.  But we'll see.  Knowing that the added stress, or de-stressing may have effected my weightloss.

Can't wait to be slim again, for life.
