I feel great!

It's Saturday, one of my favorite days of the week. Not because its the night to party, at least not anymore, but because I get to take a long run in the morning. My wonderful mom usually watches my kids and I get to go running. I usually run with my sister-in-law Cheryl, but she had to work today and I wasn't for sure of the weather so I decided to go on my own. It was a really great run, only 4 miles, but I'm working my way up. We have been running 5 miles, and I will be working on 6 miles soon too. I'm going to be working on a running challenge for myself that I plan on starting on November 1st and going through Christmas. I will let you know about that.

Then I stopped at one of my favorite coffee shops in River Falls. The Dish and Spoon Cafe. I love that place. I had a non-fat latte with sugar-free caramel flavoring. (I have to stay true to my diet, but I did run 4 miles this morning.) I made sure that this was allowed because I'm really trying to be very strict on my diet. It was yummy!!!

As of yesterday, I have lost 4.6 lbs and 8 inches!!!! WOW!!! I feel so good. I can't believe it. I'm already down one jean size (from size 14 to 12) That's super exciting too. All of this is credited to Lisa and Physicians Weight Loss Center of Hudson. She is awesome and so is the program.

I'm now on days 10-14 and I'm up to 1000 calories a day, BUT I'm allowed a few more calories because of my workout routines. Wondering what I'm eating??? Well, I'm eating mostly whole foods. A lot of chicken and veggies and fruit. That is the key to this diet. You are learning to eat the proper amounts and eating all whole foods. Too bad I didn't start this diet when I had a garden full of fresh veggies all summer long. I do take in 2-3 protein supplements a day which is the other key to this diet. These protein supplements come in many different forms. Shakes, drinks, soups, hot cocoa and more. Lisa told me that She wanted to get me to the point where I could barely get all the foods in my body that I'm suppose to eat. That should be interesting because I've always been a big eater, hence my whole problem.

Have any questions? Please leave me a comment or email me anytime. I would be happy to rave to you about this program! It's all about changing the way you think about food. Chat with ya soon..............................
