The weight is still coming off, but at a very slow pace. It’s okay I guess.. I didn’t gain it over night so I can’t expect to lose it over night. It’s funny because I always thought I was a fairly healthy person despite my extra weight, but as I’m working on this diet and increasing my exercise, I’m realizing just how untrue that has become in the last year. I don’t know if it is because I’m at home on maternity leave, that things have gone down, or I have just become less thoughtful about the decisions I am making about my food and exercise.

I’m having a hard time coming up with good dinner options for the family. I think I’ve just over done it on vegetables that I can’t think of food that I actually want to eat that the family will be okay with. Yesterday I attempted to make this light thai vegetable soup.. it totally bombed.. tasted like water with vegetables. My husband made fun of me, but ate it. Which was nice. I also made lentils.. but I didn’t feel like eating it, and he made a lovely salad. We had some left over chicken from the night before so I took that out too. I ended up making a sandwich out of his salad, the left over chicken and some brown pita. I didn’t even enjoy it.

I used to love cooking, and eating.. and this diet I guess has taken the joy out of both of these things. At the beginning I was very enthusiastic, trying new recipes, but seriously how many ways can you make a bean?

The results of the Fat Smash diet have been unbelievable, I’ve lost almost 15 lbs. in one month. I really can’t complain. But the first 9lbs. happened in the first week. So now its moving like a snail, but moving. I don’t know.. maybe I have the blahs.
