Side effects end of month 2

I am not MIA.  I have just been busy. 
I am happy to report things are going good with my research. Some of the things I have noticed is I am losing the taste for sugar items. Last night I did have were dinner leftover ribs but then just wanted some biscotti's. Biscottis are also called an Italian dunking cookie. I love them and make them homemade. These are the cookies I made in one of my videos. Let's just say I ate more than one. It's funny but I justified it by not eating a different carb with dinner. I figure I'm good on the whole sugar thing for another two months.

I also have to report that I am down almost 10 pounds but the bigger thing is that I can tell the difference in my clothes. This is what my friends would call a non scale victory.

I have found that I really enjoyed my salads at lunchtime and miss them when I don't eat them. I have gotten a little creative and definitely am not starting. I am testing out some different Balsamic Vinegar and really enjoyed them on my salad. I did purchase an instant pot and need to do a video on it. I did make ribs in it the other night and they were really good.

The weather is getting warmer here which is good so I can get outside and walk a little more I miss walking. I went to work out the other morning and kicked one of my hand weights because they were laying on the floor and now I have a black and blue toe. We've always been told to pick our toys up so we don't trip over them and this is more important with your weights. Don't let this happen to you but I'm not the let it slow me down because it's only a toe. I have been trying to make it to the gym and him going tonight for a body pump class.

I do work full time and have other things going on in my life which makes writing a little difficult. As I reread that last sentence it sounds like a weight loss excuse. Truth being I have been playing Facebook video games and need to get back to writing. It is interesting how we make excuses and try to justify all kinds of things in our lives. I need to get off the procrastination pot and just get things done. This is sometimes the hardest part of change in our lives. Change is hard but it is so well worth it.

I hope all is well with you and I will report back at the end of next month.
