Back at home . . .

Ready to leave the "D" word out of my life and start focusing on "Life Style Change". Well it was not Thursday, but Tuesday, after of weekend of friends, laughing, touring and of course, eating.

Thought that even though I made a promise to hubby that I really ought to weigh myself so that I have a starting point for my "Life Style Change" adventure. Well, sure enough I had gained weight and was now up another 1 1/2 pounds.

So Pat and I started our Challenge on the Morning of the 27th of January. Our game plan was MEAT ONLY the entire first week. Three meals a day and any snacks would be meat.

First I had not been grocery shopping and the only meat I had in the fridge was Salami. NOT a good choice, but at least it was meat. Raided mom's fridge and ate some left over pork roast for lunch and went out to eat with hubby on the way to the grocery store, and had some fish.

The rest of the week went much easier eating meat. By Thursday AM, I not only lost the 1 1/2 pounds that I put back on but lost 2 additional pounds.

Usually when I have used the "D" word before, I would fall off my "D" after days of craving a "fried balogna sandwich". By Friday I was having cravings, however they were for Cucumbers and tomatoes! Definately a first step in my "Life Style Change"
