I’ve been continuing my Jillian Michaels workouts and following most of her nutritional plan. I have one workout left to complete the 30 days. (Davin’s planning on joining me as I go through it again next month.) I’ve lost five inches and 8 pounds this month, and I’m feeling good! I’ve also finally dipped into my normal BMI range for the first time in probably 4 years. Normally I like to reward myself by eating ice cream, but this time I think I’ll go shopping for some new smaller clothes that fit me better.
Last week I went out with some of my mom friends to California Pizza Kitchen. I looked up the nutritional information beforehand and felt empowered to make a wise decision with my food. Normally I would have easily made a 1600 calorie choice and justified it because I was out with friends. This time I ate within my limit for dinner totaling 560 calories and it was satisfying. I control the food; it doesn’t control me! Before going out for the evening I snapped a few pictures because I was feeling cute. It’s still hard for my mind to catch up to my slimmer body.
