RhumbaGirl's Journal, 12 Apr 21

Very happy to report that today marks 8 weeks here using FS with a total loss of just under 12 pounds (as supported by the CICO math). Hoping the trend continues as the summer approaches and I have more time for fresh air and exercise. I’m encouraged by everyone here who has lost ~ 60 pounds in several months as that is my goal as well.

I’m still appreciating being able to plan meals within my calorie budget here. Yesterday we walked for an hour along the river and then enjoyed a great dinner out (fish tacos!) that I had been anticipating all week. And today the scale was still my friend, all because I allocated for it.

Offering up prayers for folks going through some tough times this week. Dear Lord please help us all to remember that whatever the problem is, the answer is never in the fridge or a bag of chips. (nodding to Kenna’s fridge sign picture!)

Others have happy news and NSVs and we are grateful for those. May we all continue on the path to healthier living with good choices this week. Amen.

102.1 kg Lost so far: 5.4 kg.    Still to go: 25.0 kg.    Diet followed: Reasonably Well.
