The last month or so...

All right, I have been terrible about updating. Between my birthday week (when I gained 2 pounds, not surprisingly), and being gone on a ten day trip to Canada, I have been busy! The most surprising thing concerning my weight/health in this time is that I lost 5 pounds at my weigh-in yesterday. I didn't have a weigh-in last week, since I was out of town, but I was expecting to gain or hoping to break even. I am thinking it may relate to what I did when we got back from Canada...
We got home Sunday night, and I felt like I really needed a detox/cleanse of some sort- I had eaten some rich stuff and plenty of trail mix. So on Monday and Tuesday, I ate nothing but fruits and vegetables. It was actually really cool and gave me a greater appreciation for those foods and what they can do for you. So at this point I am restructuring what I eat to be largely fruits and veggies, also have lean protein regularly, and eat much less grains and dairy. We'll see how this comes out, but I think it's going to be a great help in re-jump-starting the weight loss. I looked at my chart and I spent 8 weeks in about a 3 pound range. I have finally tipped over the edge of 40 pounds gone (40.8!) and want to ramp the losses back up. Bring it on!!!
