I just was editing my profile when I realized my percentage was at 51% of my goal weight. I'm so excited! I am hoping to lose a wee bit more, but I set this goal because I wasn't sure if I could stick with it. I can't believe 2 1/2 months have gone by so quickly. I was hoping to keep up 10 lbs. a month of weight loss, but I'm happy to just keep moving forward.
Here's a list of things I've noticed that have improved since I began (TMI!)
-My blood sugar has never gone higher than 94, it only went above 90 once. Usual readings are 74-88. Excellent because my parents are both T2D!
-My appetite has reduced significantly.
- My cycles seem to have gotten shorter and healthier.
- I don't poo as much, but it is never difficult.
- My skin looks better than it ever has! I think it is because the inflammation is gone, but now I need very little foundation and my skin is SO smooth.
- My thinking is very clear and I don't get brain fog mid afternoon like I used to, unless I stayed up too late.
I find I can also read books more easily, I have better focus.
- I feel calmer and less anxious in general. I just feel like my brain is happy eating all of this fat.
- Strangely enough, I am also eating more vegetables than when I was eating the SAD.
