Just did the elliptical workout and it really kicked me. I barely got 2.5 miles in 30 minutes--and it was a real struggle to keep up a pace toward the end.
On a positive note--I weighed in 3 pounds lighter overall. That is seven more to go for September. That is if I figure in 10 pounds per month to reach my goal. It definitely gives me a motivational boost. Like maybe I can do this.
Ice cream is going to be a continuous struggle. I ate two servings night before last and last night I was down to one serving in a mug.
Portion sizes are getting easier for me to judge also. It takes a while to adjust I can see to eat only what I should be eating. Tonight we are going to have nachos with leftover turkey taco meat (w/ pureed veggies, onions, green chiles, pinto beans). We had taco salads last night--that was a treat for me because I am letting myself "super-size" lettuce portions. I hope I can keep the nacho portions reigned in. If I add a bunch of hot sauce or jalapenos, I'll do better. For some reason making my food spicy helps me feel fuller with these smaller portions.
