Make It Happen 2012: Day 11

Thoughts on losing weight:

1. I seem to lose weight in my feet first- who knew I had so much foot fat?

2. 10 days on my diet and I haven't had so much as a spark of heartburn.

3. Losing even a token amount of weight (at this point 10+ pounds) means my sleep apnea problems go away as well.

4. Shit, I'm going to need smaller pants... ASAP!

5. I know that the point of a successful diet is not to feel hungry all the time, but whenever I do manage to feel sated on my daily allotment of points bestowed unto me by the Weight Watchers Gods, I immediately become worried that I'm doing it wrong and I won't have lost any weight by the next weekly weigh-in. Does anyone else experience this when dieting as well?

6. The Cabot Creamery seems to have entered into some kind of pact with the Devil to make their 75% Reduced Fat Cheddar taste like real cheese. You guys are a lifesaver!

7. If I can get my weight under 250 pounds, I'm so doing this.

1. as noted, upper arms.
2,3,4. Rock on!
5. I've found it totally remarkable that when I'm paleo-ing, I'm NEVER HUNGRY. Apparently the caloric suck that is cheese and crackers and bread and milk and pasta and OMG ALL THE THINGS I LOVE is quite large, and when I cut them out, I can easily fill up on small calorie piles of veggies. Huh. Who knew. It sort of makes me paranoid about overeating when I go back to not-paleo, though. And I really don't want to have Food Issues. So I'm sympathetic.
6. ORLY?
7. oooooo. that looks awesome.

Yes, I have to learn to trust my gut (literally) when I fill up on vegetables instead of hitting the salty snacks at night. The only good thing about the points diet is that I can occasionally indulge in a big hunk of fresh baked bread, which is all the more relevant now that my town just opened up a swanky new fancy olive oil store. And cheese! Oh, boy. Again, thank goodness for Cabot- their 75% lowfat cheddar has a chewy texture, but the taste is miraculously spot on. So I'll take it.

When I saw a Groupon for this paragliding company, I knew what I was going to give myself for my 40th birthday...

1) Feet fat is a perplexing issue. I experienced it when pregnant... who knew?

2) I don't recall any devil pact memos in recent months, so I'm thinking it's just the farmer's good work at play ;-)

Thanks for the shout out and glad you're enjoying the cheese!

Thanks Regan! Whatever magic is at work with your cheese, I'll take it. :)
