White ain't right!!

I am pushing through hard into week 3!  Frustrated with the stall I decided to do real exercise on Thursday afternoon.  I downloaded some exercise videos onto my Netflix account (which runs straight through my Smart TV.....so awesome).  I did a 20 minute kickboxing workout.  No worries, I did it at my pace and didn't over exert my midsection.  I skipped the section on abs.  It felt fabulous!! 

I had also cut out major carbs starting Thursday as well.  I met a friend at the mall that afternoon.  We walked and walked.  Didn't shop....just walked.  We were both hungry so decided to go out to eat.  I told him we had to get out of the mall if I was going to have any chance of being able to eat something that would work with the walnut.  We decided California Pizza Kitchen might work. 

We ordered a thin crust basil, pesto with sundried tomatoes and mushrooms (instead of chicken).  It was YUM.  I ate one small piece (tiny bites and a lot of chewing). I ate a few bites of another piece and knew it was time to STOP.  It didn't hurt to swallow or anything.  I did it just right.  Basically that means I chewed it until it was mush. 

What I cannot get right is the "not drinking" part.  I am not supposed to drink anything 30 min before, during or 30 minutes after a meal.  Not only am I thirsty all the time but it is just natural to eat and drink together. I mess up with it all the time but need to do better so my body gets the nutrients it needs from the food I eat.  Plus it makes me super full and I don't need to stretch the walnut out.

I have had a few "attacks" of severe severe pain.  It is a stomach spasm from eating something too bulky.  This is usually something I shouldn't eat like a cracker, bread or rice.  So that has to STOP!!  Say no to anything white!!

I did weigh this mornng and the little bit I had gained was right back off.....thank goodness!!!  I feel fabulous (unless I eat something white).  So I am still (back) at the 24 pound loss but nothing gained. 

The pattern I see here is this:  Eat and Exercise!!  I lose weight everytime I actually eat.....and exercise.
