Low Fat !!!
I woke up with a new perspective this morning and that is great. Wow, I slept in too… 8 AM is truly a record for me. Lately I have been up before the sun. Anyways, yes I am up on the scale and yes I have been filling my face quite a bit more then I need. Well, I have been working out like a mad woman too. My mirror, which I really looked at today told me that I am doing pretty good. The scale, well the scale knows what it knows. I know I have a lot of food in me. But I am going to stick with the work outs and I am getting my boyfriend to hide the scale until Friday. The torment will be good for me…lol But seriously I am seeing muscle and I want to get more defined (certainly not go backwards), so I say it here, I am going low fat for as long as I need. Still I will have a few nuts here and there (about half of what I would have), but none of the bad fat! I usually do not think low fat because good fat has really helped my health. But I just want to try something different and NO MORE LATE NIGHT DQ BLIZZARDS! I will be taking my Omega 3-6-9 supplements. Regular small amounts of healthy fat has gotten me to the place I am (feel so good with it), but in order to take it a step further, I think I need to decrease my intake just a little. I am challenging myself to love me and see how good I can be. It is my right to be as good as I can be. And I am telling myself that I CAN DO IT. So hard to believe it sometimes. I definitely will be keeping up with the whole foods. I have the muscle to really start burning some of the fat, so, that is what I shall do. No more beOtching and crying. I have the ability to make strides. I have some writing to do too. It is not all about will power, though I do want to be stronger in this area too. I do have to change some of the ways I think. And I have some research and soul searching to do (not all this weekend…hehe) Cheers to me, cheers to you! 
Off to the gym…..

No more late night DQ blizzards for you, missy! Hear me? Too cute to blizz out.
LOL… I’m getting geekier by the hour.
And yes you can do it. You put so much attention into improving your willpower and you’re so honest about it…
maybe you’r eating too little during the day and get hungry for ice cream because of that? That’s what happens to me often. Anyway, reducing fats really takes down calories. I did that by switching mostly to soup recipes, rather than steamed vegiies and meat - and I love chinky soups more than anything else in the world. I bet you have some great chunky soup recipes - in fact I KNOW you do as you gave them to me, remember?
Thinking of you always.
I like that you are attentive to yourself and checking with yourself about how things are going, so I think it’s safe to experiment with low fat or whatever else. See how it works for you. And as for being the best you can be, absolutely, you can do it.
A DQ Blizzard…. What kind? I do my best eating vicariously! Come on, honey! I have missed you. I know you can do whatever it takes to get where you want to go. Low fat for awhile is good. Lid is right. Those homemade chunky soups have everything you need. So filling and taste great. My favorite is Mexican Chicken soup. Chicken breast, broth, salsa, onion, garlic, carrots, celery, diced tomatoes, 1 can beans, drained, zucchini, 1/2 c. tiny macaroni. Pumpkin soup is great, too. Now I am hungry!! Love, Marge
Good luck!
DQ blizzards…the only kind is Chocolate Extreme. They should call it death by chocolate because if I had eaten a few more of those, I just might be dead by now. I don’t even want to think about those little chocolate devils. I’m going to bed and I hope I don’t have blizzard dreams and then have to wake up and remember that I can’t have them anymore. Ah, such sweet sorrow!
Oh lord, love those blizzards, c’mon, torture me a little, what kind? LOL, just kidding, hey good job on the workouts, and the decision to go lowfat, that will really amke a big difference!
Blizzard choice: A small Georgia Mud Fudge… BUT it was small… neverthless, I know better.
I think lowering your fat itake will get you right where you want to be Jennifer! Good idea!
Hugggggggs,
Shan
