The new way of eating was NEVER about weight loss.
It was about eating healthy, and getting my blood sugar down to a safe level again.
I weighed myself yesterday morning.
And while I had a loss, it wasn't as much as I thought it would be... but I'm happy anyway, cos it's weight that I am no longer carrying around.
And now it will become about my weight too. Clearly I can do better, and eat less protein!
Let's see what I can do in the next 3 months!
Even if I 'only' lose another 9 kilos.... shit that's not going to be a 'bad' result!
Today, well there's no FBG walks on, so I shall be doing some sewing.
And tonight it's Card Night at Susan's home. Yaaa, that will be fun.
So, I'm off to see what needs doing around the house, then I shall be doing more coasters/mug rugs in the sewing room. I've decided to leave owl mobiles for another day.
ONWARD...
Well.... I decided to pop into Hamilton for some fabric. Well OK, MORE fabric!
I ended up at Spotlight, then Grandmother's Garden in Gordonton.
I also stopped at an op shop by Spotlight, and found these:
And so cheap, certainly cheaper than trying to buy or make something 'fit for purpose'. They will 'do'. *smiles*
And now.... it's 1.15 and I'm hungry. Food time...
Sheesh, I have been busy and forgot to update!
I did some sewing this afternoon and early evening, then I headed out to Card Night with the girls. Brylee tags along now to keep the younger kids company.
Time to sign off for the day... it's going to be a frost in the morning, it's FREEZING outside already.
Nearly 10kgs in 3 months is an awesome result Chris! No dieting required. So pleased for you.
ReplyDeleteHeck 20 pounds is pretty good I'd just continue on the way you are doing! WTG!
ReplyDeleteChris - 9 kilos is exactly what you would want after three months!! It means that everything you are doing is correct - don't forget you will no longer have fatty liver (google it, everyone overweight and especially with diabetes has it). That alone means your body is working better... bring on the blood test results and the next three months. Perhaps figure out more vegetable dishes you'd like if you want to cut protein a little. You have made amazing progress and I especially love that you've put health first and weight second. Well done.
ReplyDeleteI agree, sounds like the ideal amount of weight over that time!!! Well done! Christy xxx
ReplyDeleteWAHOO 9 KILOS IS AWESOME EFFORT MY FRIEND...so proud of your dedication and determination
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of butter!
ReplyDeleteI always try for more protein and less carbs and fat. I need to be educated I guess.
That’s a great weight loss considering you weren’t trying to loose weight, just cut sugar to avoid numerous daily injections.
ReplyDeleteKeep doing what you're doing. Protein is good for you, builds muscle and is what the dieticians recommend. High protein, low carb. Can't go wrong. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeletetoast racks awesome idea might steel it for displaying my greeting cards
ReplyDeleteCan't spell steel. It's steal babes, steal
DeleteThat is awesome. I can’t believe you sound a little disappointed with losing over 9 kilos. I am beyond jealous!!! Well done and keep up the good work. Michelle from Oz.
