so, i'm just sitting here enjoying a great lil snack of carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, and snap peas (with a great 3 pt dill dip, if i eat it all...so far i'm at half and getting really full...bonus!!!)
i've noticed that my lil girl LOVES her veggies...moreso than i do and that just makes me feel soooooo good about this lifestyle change ...also, if you were to offer her a piece of chocolate or a babybel cheese, she will always always choose the "BABY"!!!
also, baby boy is getting lots and lots of different veggies as homemade mashed up meals too (he's 7 1/2 months old and has been on solids for over a month now and has done peas, carrots, sweet potatoes, squash -two kinds- ,potatoes, corn and potatoes and gravy-that was easter-)..with DD she did jarred food which meant we weren't eating those veggies!
also, i've noticed that if i don't get in at least 4 glasses of water a day (at the very minimum), i pay for it in the end (pardon the pun, but you know what system i'm talking about now..yep..digestive!)
i mean i knew fibre was good for me, but wow, do i need the help of water (not to mention i make sure i cook with EVOO all the time now cuz i need that too!!!)
also, i can see differences in my hubby (not huge, but definitely there)...in his face...and in his digestion too (he took lil girl to town on sunday and they went to mickey d's for lunch as a treat...for a big guy, he sure does have a sensitive tum-tum...i think he's just now feeling normal today)...
i've also noticed on the boards how some of the newbies are still armed with that "dieter" mentality. by this i mean they are dissappointed that they don't see bigger numbers on dropping on the scale (i blame those silly water weight diets and maybe even shows like "the biggest loser"--even tho i love that show, i know that losing those big numbers is not healthy nor is it easy to maintain in the end)
this is definitely a lifestyle change and not a diet at all! i know i may have celebrated huge last week because i had a big drop of 3 lbs, but i know that if i lose only .2 this week, it's still a loss and not to be "dissappointed"...i'm still awaiting the dreaded plateau too (cuz i know it will come)...but i'm armed with information and the knowledge that it too will pass (someone remind me of that fact, when my day comes, kay???lol)
well, snack time is over and now time to focus on what to make for lunch cuz hubby won't be home...hmmmmmm....
laters!
