Bring on Weigh-in Sunday!  Today marks the end of my second week on this expedition and much success has been had already.  My weight this morning was 158, which makes a total of eight pounds lost.  Also, I measured my waist, since I felt more comfortable in my jeans. J I was happy to see my waist circumference is down to 38.5 inches (from 40).  In two pounds I can say I am a third of the way to my goal (hopefully next week).  Something to look forward to indeed!

Today I followed a team of ten year olds into the pit of all dietary evil…Dairy Queen.  I wondered if I would experience any environmentally triggered cravings…but I am happy to say- not in the least!  It is not that I don’t want burgers or ice cream; because I do and I will have them.  However, when I do it won’t be from fast food.  I really enjoy my homemade veggie patties far more.  It is such a better quality of nutrients and the taste matches the quality.  Also, maybe because I am so, so ready for change, but I am not in the mood for ice cream!  Instead I really look forward to reaching my goal and to know that I am doing everything in my power to be the healthiest and happiest version of myself.  I have already learned over and over the short term satisfaction that comes in the form of my “soy dreams” ice cream container.  So today I would rather honor the body that God gave me.  Take that Dairy Queen!  Cheers to another successful week!
