Progress Report

Hello, Bloggers! Time for an update into Project Skinny. This is the hardest time I've ever had losing weight. But then again, I ain't no spring chicken. Metabolism used to be a non-issue...and now it's my arch enemy. So how am I doing?

I'm down two more pounds! Yay, Me! It's not my ideal pace, but it's a loss and not a gain so I'll take it!

I've been working out on the elliptical. I know that's the biggest body-changer. But I've started changing my eating habits as well. THIS is the tough part for me. I like to taste good food. I love to eat yummy food whether I'm hungry or not. I could easily plan an event, vacation, party, etc around food. Food is by far the number one deal-breaker when deciding to attend a function. Will there be food? No? Think I'll stay home. I. Like. Food.

This morning I had a Weight Watchers yogurt for breakfast. Now, I'm not "doing" Weight Watchers, but I know they have a good thing going and so I thought it couldn't hurt to tip into the plan every once in awhile. I usually either skip breakfast, or have Ramen noodles. Stop it! I can feel you judging me!

For lunch, I had breaded chicken breast over Parmesan pasta. Yes, yes, I know. This is not "diet" food. However, it's miles better than the chips, Twix, and Diet Dr. Pepper I usually have. Baby steps here, People!

And, here's a tip...it really does make a difference what you're wearing when you weigh. Between the first weigh-in this morning (while wearing my heavy terry-cloth robe and a terry-cloth towel on my wet head) and my second weigh-in this morning (naked and dry) there was a six pound difference. SIX POUNDS!

So...onward, my Soon-to-be-Skinny Friends. Ounce by ounce, you and I are going to be stunning by summer!
