my journey to a better me

You know how pregnant people always seem to have their hand on their belly? When you start to lose weight, do you ever feel yourself doing the same thing??? Like when you have only gone down a couple of pounds, and maybe it’s not noticable yet to anyone else, but you touch your belly and it feels smaller to you??? I have been doing a lot of belly touching lately. Maybe i’m just weird!

I walked on the beach today. I don’t know how anyone lives without a beach in driving distance. I need to know that the ocean is nearby, even if I don’t see it all the time. The 45 minutes distance I have from the beach now is kind of extreme to me, but totally do-able. I used to live about 15 minutes away growing up. The smells, sounds, sights, feel of the sand and water. I love it!!! Just wish I had Jay to walk with. We never spent days on the beach lying out together, but we always enjoyed walking on the beach in the evenings. It always felt so romantic.

I don’t collect sea glass, but I found the prettiest purple sea glass today. I had to pick it up. Purple sea glass isn’t common, is it? I don’t remember seeing it. Maybe it should be my goodluck charm. I could use one!!!

I just made the best turkey burger using my George Foreman grill. I hardly ever use it, but it really does make a difference. I made an extra to bring to work tomorrow. I had baby veggies on the side. And I think I am going to have my 100 calorie Slim-a-Bear ice cream sandwich for dessert. About 1000 calories or so for the day. I haven’t done the final tally yet on Daily Plate.

OK …. got some stuff to look up online. Hope everyone has a good night. Keep up the good work!!!

    Wow girl! I read through a few of your posts. I hope they let your man out soon. I too, have a reformed bad boy and the road can be rough with them.

    You look great! Absolutely skinny and HOT. Do you work out? To firm up your butt and belly you are going to have to exercise. Strength training is best for toning. Changing your body takes time…be patient. You do not need to lose another pound. You look perfect.

    Congrats on your weight loss. I think you look thinner than your sister. :)
