Or as someone said to me, it's no miracle, it's a ton of hard work and commitment. All very true, but, week 8 is known to many as the week when all the pieces come together, thus having the nickname of the miracle 'results' week. WHatever it is, miracle, or just sweat and stink, I'm looking for it this week!
So, you know you are a committed BFL'er when you grab half a chicken breast out of the fridge and just eat it without reheating it. I'm starting to have some weird combinations, this morning's cold chicken breast and oatmeal being one of them.
I've noticed another nice benefit, and that's my grocery bill going down. I usually come in somewhere around $500 month (I use a ton of coupons - like $17/worth on my last trip). February was a short month, but looking over my credit card stmt, I only spent about $300 on groceries. No, eating healthy isn't cheap, but maybe surviving on cottage cheese, eggs, and yogurt is? Alot of our fresh fruit is junky at this time of year, so I expect that will go up in the summer when the grapes and strawberries are better quality and melons are in season. Right now I'm subsisting on good grapes when we can find them, clementines, broccoli and carrots!
Feeling good after that lbwo last nite. Scale didn't move for me at all this week, when will I learn free day needs to be a meal, not a day, and that that's OK!? I actually popped up 5 lbs and worked my way back down last week, so I guess there was hard work in getting that done anyway.
4 more weeks ladies - let's make 'em count!!
