Really did not want to go to the gym today
But I went anyway. I feel like crap. Because I didn’t want to go, I made myself push a little bit harder as a reward for going. Wow I’m tired

I totally have a whole new wardrobe
It’s not exactly “new” it’s just pants I bought a few years ago in a size I was expecting to be and never made it. But I tried them on today and I totally fit into them!!
So Exciting. I am officially calling myself the new size….I’m down 4 sizes then.
AWESOME!!

Amazing food fact #3
Grapefruit sheds more weight…
I know we’ve all heard it before, but do you know why???
Eating half a grapefruit and drinking a glass of the juice before each meal lowers the body’s post-meal insulin levels. The phytochemicals helps your body convert calories into energy rather than store it as fat.

Amazing food fact #2
Olive Oil promotes a slimmer tummy:
Women who start the day with extra virgin olive oil (drizzled over toast or something) burn more fat than those who skip it.
The reason: Olive Oil is rich in monounsaturated fats that speed the metabolism.

I truly realized how important the quote "Nothing...
I went a bit nuts this weekend with food. Now I feel like crap. Not because I’m beating myself up for eating crap, but for continuing to eat it even though it didn’t taste as good as I remembered.
It’s amazing how crappy processed food tastes once you’ve actually had a chance to step back and actually taste it with a “fresh” pallet.

Amazing food fact #1
Eggs rev your metabolism…
A University of Utah study reveals eating one whole egg per day will not only help you shed more fat on a reduced-calorie diet, but will also prevent your body from lsing lean calori-burning muscle.
The reason: Eggs are high in leucin, an amino acid that tells your body to burn fat rather than muscle on low-calorie meal plans.

British researchers recently announced they have pinpointed the world’s most relaxing tune. (Weightless by Marconi Union) It is an eight-minute mix of guitar, piano and low tones which, reportedly, triggers a trance-like state which cuts anxiety 65% and lovers pulse rates 35% making it the most effective song tested. (I haven’t heard it yet)
Find it on You Tube.

Day eight: Name 5 things you like about your body...
5 Things I like…

2. My eyes, they are a deep brown and carry so much history in them
3. My smile. It is sincere and ever glowing

I lift weights and constantly amaze myself at the power I can harness. Plus, my gym-buddy is always amazed with me. He tells me I am an inspiration to him. (Of course he can out lift me 4:1)

So in my haste....
I posted my “during” weight loss pic to my regular blog instead of my weight loss blog. (Damn phone technology)
WTF was I thinking?!?! Well, it’s out there now and I can’t pull it back. Oh well. it’s actually a relief to have put myself out there. I feel a small ounce of freedom and accomplishment.
