249 yeah

How weird is that?  I over-ate by almost 500 calories yesterday, yet I lost weight. Granted, just a few ounces, but still.

So today I made sure to get all my 9K steps in before I left work.  Sunday's can be slow so I took advantage of it and helped out another department by walking around and making sure our guests were content with their stations.   Plus I found it easier to walk long distances than shorter ones. Better for my hips, I think.

Came across this article called   10 Compelling Reasons To Try An Elimination Diet.  Being a logical thinking person, when I see something that makes sense and interest me, I pursue.  Never heard of this, but then I don't watch Dr. Oz.   So I think I might try this.

First I need to work on my vices.  Diet Coke will be the first since I think it will be easy since I've been increasing my water intake.  Next will be Mio for the water.  Then I'll move on to teas, juices, and raw fruit flavored water I make myself.  My short lived coffee addiction will come to an end.  I just started drinking it last year.  Now my iced frappes are bad.  Maybe I can find a healthier version. Like Golden Milk.

Also plan to cut back on red meat to once a week.  From now on, only grass fed steak Sundays' for me.  It took many years of watching Master Chef for my husband to finally understand how to cook a steak.  Not giving it up.  Only my hubby eats poorly when given the chance.  His choice.  Perhaps seeing my transformation from fat to fit will encourage him to cut back on bad foods and eat more good stuff.   He said he wants to get down to 175.  Sometimes I just wanna punch him in the face.  He weighs 185.  So he needs to lose 10 measly pounds. While I have loved his body since day 1, he has gotten a baby bump these last few years.  I just pat it and say "3 months" because that's how much of a bump he has.

I also want to have 2 vegetarian dinners or days.  3 fish days and 4 bean days.  9 servings a day of fruit or veggies (I prefer veggies.)

 Also think I might be gluten intolerant.  Just read 10 signs and I'm 6.  They recommend the Elimination Diet to properly test.  Another reason to do this.

Thank you google...found a healthy frappe.

Before I forget.  Went 6 minutes on my elliptical. Baby steps. Tomorrow I'll try for 10 and throw in some planks after my weights.  I can feel myself getting stronger and my hip is hurting less and less.

It was a good day and I still have 200+ calories left over.  Time for rest and practicing something new, meditation, hopefully my ADD brain will let me focus.  Night.
