WooHoo! I’m holding at 144 now! Last September I was 170. Amazing…just amazing…what a simple No Junk Food Snacks diet will do for you.<\/p>\n
Okay…there’s a bit more to it…I need to fess up…but it’s really not much. I’ve cut out the junk food between meals, yes. But I’m also putting Splenda in my tea now instead of sugar. I drink tons of tea in a day…mostly ice tea. At work though, I drink Earl Gray or English Breakfast tea. There’s a place in Timonium near where I used to live that I can buy tins of it imported from Britain, produced by Taylors of Harrogate. If you like hot black English teas don’t buy the stuff they sell on the grocery store shelves here in the U.S. That stuff is weak compared to the stuff they sell in Britain. Try to find a place that imports the tea they sell in Britain to the British. So…anyway…I’m consuming a lot less sugar now since it’s not in my tea anymore. And I’ve nudged my diet slightly toward higher protean and leaner meats, and away from carbohydrates. That’s just nudging mind you…not a rule fixed in stone. More lean meat, less fried potato. I make my sandwiches with whole grain bread now and not Wonder White.<\/p>\n
That’s pretty much it. I eat until I’m full, I don’t limit my portions at all, and yet it definitely takes less food to satisfy me. I am seldom hungry at all during the day…mostly just in the morning before breakfast. And my body is still slimming down nicely.<\/p>\n
Now I need to work on building some muscle around the chest and waist. I’ll never be ripped, and I don’t want to be really. That look just doesn’t appeal to me. But I want to be a tad more defined. I want to not be embarrassed to take off my shirt at the beach. I’ve been sitting at a desk for way too long without doing anything to exercise to compensate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
