I took a "break" from SBD proper this week. I eliminated meat, cheese, dairy and grains for 5 days. I was amazed how easy it was even considering the boredom factor. I had no hunger or cravings whatsoever.
I've recommitted to SBD and to being more conscientious about my choices. I'm going to cut down on my meat consumption and try out some of the vegetarian protein choices. I'm going back to Ezekial products, exclusively, when I do choose breads. I bought some of their english muffins yesterday and split them before freezing for portion control.
Today, I'm taking a road trip...bringing my own breakfast, fruit for snacking and will take my own salad dressing for our salad bar lunch. There was an opportunity for Chinese buffet,

but I told my friend I'd rather not.
Portion control, more thoughtful choices and exercise. Even when I reach my "goal", my BMI classification will still be "obese"

. I need to achieve my first goal then move on to the next. I just checked; if I lower my goal weight by 1#, I will only be "overweight".

Changing my ticker now!
Thanks for being here everyone!
