Well, I am very proud to report that I weighed in this morning to discover I now am 189.5 and 42% body fat. So… in the 180s at last (though barely)! It really thrills me to no end, I must say. I have definitely been dedicated through the week — have gone to bed several times with a bit of hunger in my belly. I probably haven’t been eating as many vegetables as I should — which would help on the hunger front. Another technique I’ve been trying is to drink peppermint tea in the afternoons when I’m most likely to get hungry. It helps me get in my water (it’s herbal tea and therefore helps me hydrate) and is warm and filling. It tastes good, too, and soothes my stomach.
So, I’m off tonight for a weekend outside of Austin, TX, for a family get-together. Hubby is in Japan for business, still, so he won’t be there. *sniff* It’ll be a great chance to catch up with aunts, uncles and cousins, though. Also I’ll see a friend of mine who I haven’t seen in a while.
