becomingkateI'm down 4 pounds since Christmas. I hope that's actually a reflection of my efforts and not just natural weight fluctuation. I've been trying to eat better during the day. I track my food on Lose It again and it really helps me see what I'm doing wrong. Sometimes I don't even record the whole day's food, I just see how I'm doing at the start and then I can usually estimate my calories. Today my stomach was upset so I actually didn't eat anything until dinner time. Bad idea, I know. I've also been trying to drink more water again.
My husband's cholesterol is a bit higher than it should be, so I've been buying low fat cheese, sour cream, etc. I made Zuppa Toscana the other day which usually calls to be finished with heavy cream but I just put 1% milk in and my husband didn't even say anything. I should have been making it low fat all along, lol. I also used turkey sausage and I couldn't even tell the difference.
I'm not even exercising yet, so I hope that if I actually am losing weight just by going low fat and low carb, that if I get the inspiration to exercise again, that will help even more.
