Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes

source Lord, I hope so. I've made a few changes starting last week.  Nothing huge but they're huge to me because it's different than what I've been doing for, well, ever.  I grew up on artificial sweeteners.  The pink stuff to be exact.  Mom always had it around and honestly I didn't really start using it too much until we started on our first go round of weight loss back in 1998.  I grew up on a crap ton of sugar.  I was addicted to my aunt's sweet tea which, if I remember correctly, was this pitcher: source a scoop of Nestea instant tea and a cup of sugar.  When my dad was still around, I remember excitedly making a cup of coffee for him- two creams , two sugars.  So my tastebuds were being trained from a young age.  I know we had the sweet tea in the house too and my mama was a sweet tea addict until she left this Earth, but I think at some point she switched over to the pink stuff.  I think I stuck to sugar when I lived at home but o...

Twas the Weigh In Before Christmas

...and I was miraculously down 3 more pounds!

I thought I was dreaming...um, yeah I'm not going to try to rhyme!  LOL

I know this is going to be very temporary with the upcoming holiday and possibly a small side trip the following weekend depending on how the foot is feeling.  I think I may have pinched my sciatic nerve yesterday when I foam rolled before and after my workout because I have a bit of tingling in my left leg today.  (No I don't have diabetes and I think it'd be pretty coincidental that MS would rear it's head the exact same time I'm having nerve entrapment in my tibial nerve which is part of my sciatic nerve)

Today is the beginning of Christmas family gluttony.  No one knows I'm injured except for my cousin so I'm hoping I can pull off normality.  I'm making 2 healthier dishes.  I'm throwing together 2 bags of quinoa duo from TJ's so we have a healthy option as well as my cousin.  I made a spice cake using applesauce in place of oil and bananas in place of eggs.  Now the frosting won't be low cal but it's about balance right?  :-)

Welp, I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and feel free to let me know your plans for the weekend below!

    That is really great news! Maybe this low/no impact regiment is just what you need for now. I know you say it's gluttony season, but I bet you'll show restraint anyway. Good luck pulling of normality and I hope your foot heals enough for you trip.

    Congratulations! Good idea making the cake healthy but the icing regular - you have a choice to eat none, some or all of the icing but at least you know the cake isn't too bad.

    Have a great time, my friend. We will be surrounded by family and friends. My stepdaughter's little girl is 10 months old, so it will be wonderful to have a wee one in the house on Christmas morning. Sending big hugs to you and your Mr.

    Nice going on 3 more pounds Anele. It's a Christmas miracle I tell ya! I'm gonna be happy with no gain but too many family dinners will probably make that impossible or at least improbable. Merry Christmas!
