Food

I'm down six lbs from my heaviest April weight. That's still 3 more than my pre-transfer weight in February. When I reach 10 lbs down I'm thinking of maybe buying a new purse - I have my eye on a MK knock-off. After that my new goal will be the next 10 lbs.

We've been eating better lately than we have in a while. Home cooked healthy meals every day. It's been a lifesaver to plan the week in advance, including breakfast, lunch, and dinners. It takes the edge off thinking and if the groceries are already in the house it makes it that much easier. Since they're all fresh ingredients I have to make sure to use them up quickly before they go bad.

When I don't eat sugar my appetite is very steady and I don't have those insatiable munchies. I miss cereal but I'm never hungry. So much so that sometimes I'll feel fine enough to delay eating to the point of feeling light headed. Then I remember that I can't do that and go eat my prepared snack. Still learning. Also still waiting for the RD to call me. I followed up today.

My research online told me that oatmeal, cinnamon, and apple cider vinegar are good for lowering sugar. I still don't know what lowers insulin but apparently a low sugar diet is a good start. So now I'm eating oatmeal with cinnamon for some breakfasts. I'm still figuring out how to use acv.

I found someone selling dehydrated fruit and vegetables and in a moment of weakness I placed an order for $30 worth of snacks. There's no added sugar, salt, or preservatives, plus the produce is all organic so I figured it's a good snack to include. I'm excited for the zucchini chips.
