I'm still here!

HELLO FRIENDS

I am still here. I've been hovering between 203-208 pounds for a while, which is fine, but I've wanted to get back below 200 for some time. It's my white whale.

I just wanted to log on to say that I think I have made a breakthrough! Seeing that lots of healthy people eat Greek yogurt, I picked up many varieties at the store to try them. They were tasty! And when I took my vanilla greek yogurt and added blackberries and walnuts to it, it was VERY tasty!

It also keeps me full for a long time.

Lately I've been having coffee with flavored creamer for breakfast (yeah, yeah, I know), and a turkey sandwich with guacamole for lunch (guacamole keeps me full!). I've also been trying to exercise a lot more — luckily I have been able to successfully recruit more friends into my tennis games. :) Staying in shape is easy when it's fun!

LAST NIGHT I was planning to order a chicken teriyaki dish with lots of noodles, but I realized after my tennis match that I just wasn't that hungry. So I just had a mint chocolate Greek yogurt offering, which was quite tasty. Followed it up with a mini bag of healthy popcorn. This morning I was at 202! 200 nears...

ALSO, I've gotten into Perrier. I used to have a beer or two every night, but they didn't do anything for me (my alcohol tolerance has always been too high). So I realized that if I switch out one beer a night for some lime or peach Perrier, that will save 150 calories a day. Spread out over the course of a year, that's FIFTEEN POUNDS.

Is that really how easy this is? Just cut out one beer a day and lose 15 pounds in a year? Check back to find out.....
