Tuesday is a good day....

I am feeling really good.  I still feel that I need a snack at 10 in the morning but I eat breakfast at like 7 and 5 hours is just too long for me to not eat.  I have been saving my IP food snack for the afternoon so I have had to be creative to come up with snacks for the morning.  I rediscovered things like pickled asparagus and roasted broccoli. Deb is a great source of ideas for things to eat.  She suggested such things like tuna salad on cucumber rounds and turkey bites.  I am also finding that I am not craving sugar anymore.  I miss it at times when someone brings out left over chocolate Easter eggs but I can easily say its not on my plan so I am not going to eat it.  The overwhelming I must have it is gone.  I am actually getting all the way hungry before I need to eat.  I mean my tummy is growling.  I also am not getting owly when I am hungry anymore.  Such a change in five days.  I can't wait to meet with Deb and get weighed in on her scale.  I can tell that my pants are already getting more comfortable.  Its a joy to know that such little effort on my part is reaping such great rewards.  Next on the menu plan is ground turkey wrapped in butter lettuce leaves.  I checked the epicure Taco seasoning and I think I will be able to use that on my turkey.  I am really hoping that my energy levels come up a smidge more.  I went for what I would consider an easy walk and was pretty tired by the time I got back to the house.   My hope is to be able to get back to regular gym activity soon.  I don't expect to be able to go to spin class any time soon but some yoga and weightlifting would be good.  More muscle means more calories burnt at rest.  Ta Ta for now.....
