My weight has finally stabilized and I am going to hang here until January. I will go on another round of drops starting Dec. 31st. But currently, maintenance is FABULOSO!
We had such an exciting time last night at our Holiday Extravaganza. There was tons of food and great recipes shared. I am way pumped to see what variations and new items we can create and modify to make healthy food taste like a million dollars. We were blessed to share taco soup, mac and cheese, cornbread, stuffing for turkey, turkey sausage balls, fudge, pumpkin-pecan cheese cake, pumpkin muffins, almond flour pizza. OMGoodness - we were in Heaven. There was such energy coming from the excitement that NONE of us ate Halloween candy for the first time (GO team, go!) and that we are now eating healthy and choosing NOT TO CHEAT. As children we were forced to eat what was given us - as adults, we CREATE what we eat.
We had 2 girls on Phase 2 who were able to eat the taco soup, turkey sausage balls and all natural applesauce. I was SOOOO proud of them - they never tasted a bite of anything else but left smiling with the knowledge that there is a group ahead of them that is living life successfully and happy. They couldn't wait to get stabilized and try some new foods. We are all committed to long term health and excited for that. The greatest testimonies came in the area of blood sugar compliance, which we know is often obesity related. Man, the testimonies about how blood sugar had dropped were amazing! We also shared before and after pics - OMGoodness!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks to all who came and keep working those recipes. We CAN life in freedom.
Kroger has the honey crisp apples for 1.98 a pound I hear, and coconut water (great for leg cramps) at .99. These are great buys. Sam's, near me, had the ambrosia apples last week for 5.99 a huge bag and seedless watermelons - still YUMMY. I figure as long as they are around - I am indulging.
My holiday wish is that each of us plan ahead for the family gatherings and parties and make a vow to NOT CHEAT. Crissy said her family is coming to her house for desserts on Thanksgiving Day and she will offer healthy and regular desserts. It has been my experience recently that a lot are choosing healthy. That does my HEART good - both naturally and spiritually. Keep asking for God's help daily as you close doors to past habits that entrapped you. He is waiting to be asked. :)
Choose life and eat to live, PK
