Day Twelve

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.
