Happy Eating, Happy Feeling

After a weekend of 4th of July party and family reunion, I am happy to say that I didn't gain any weight. I was mostly good with what I ate. except for the brownies. But seriously, they were brownies.And they were fudgy, gooey deliciousness. Brownies are a downfall. And as a matter of fact, I am down another lb or two, so win win for me. I get a brownie (...or two) and a good number on the scale.

I have been working out a lot more lately. And trimming down the junk. I even quit putting milk and sugar in my coffee. And have been getting black iced coffee at my beloved starbucks. I Cut out sugary beverages. I tried to drink a can of pepsi at our family reunion. Got about 1/5 through the can and could not drink anymore. High fructose corn syrup is disgusting. I can taste it now. How did I use to love pepsi? My latest pop favorite was Dr. Pepper, but its been almost 2 months since I've had any.

The first couple weeks were a struggle. Now I don't even crave or want junk. I start craving fruit and veggies. Junk makes me feel gross I've found. Nothing is quite as satisfying as knowing exactly what is in what you're eating. No unpronounceable ingredients. No  questionable acids and long words and animal by products. That is, the type found in hot dogs and other odd looking "meats". I love me a good steak. And chicken.

All that to say this: I weighed myself this morning and found that I've lost 10 Lbs. Got dressed and found that I lost a belt notch too. Its a great feeling:)
