2. Cutting back on processed carbs has really helped with my eating. I’m so grateful for that. Before I cut back on them I felt like I was struggling so much with my food and still gaining weight. It was very frustrating! I found myself angry that people could eat whatever they wanted and I couldn’t. It just wasn’t fair! Does anyone else ever feel like that? Now when Ken is wanting a burger and onion rings I don’t feel like I am being punished but instead order me a delicious oriental salad with grilled chicken at a favorite place. And get this! Last night I told Ken I was going to get me my salad and asked what he wanted and he had one too! He gets his with fried chicken, but it is still a step in the right direction over a greasy burger and onion rings!
3. Since I mentioned my salad that I love to get I have to tell you another gratitude that I was able to do. This salad comes with 2 little cups on the side of a sweet delicious Asian dressing which was why in the beginning I would order this salad! It was so delicious! The salad itself is a romaine/spring mix bed of greens topped with grilled chicken, about a 1/4 cup of chow mein noodles and what I would call a generous tablespoon of peanuts! The last two times I have ordered it, I have asked them for no dressing and they have put it in the sack anyway! The gratitude is that I was able to look in the sack, see the dressing and give it back to them! I knew if I had it, I would eat it! Such a good feeling to be proactive in my eating! I got this!
4. Spending time with Ken. We both love when I am off work and able to just be together. Hoping to figure out what pattern we want on the quartz countertops today. There are about 4 contenders, and it’s hard to narrow it down to just one!
5. Cooler weather. Hard to believe it’s September already!
