A new month and I confess I am elated! I hopped rather resignedly on the scale early this morning and discovered I broke the weight decade! I am one pound in...one single pound under the wire. I have been stuck at that number for months...and I suspect several years. I could not get over that hump.
I hate to admit that the loss of one single pound can have such an influence on my day, and yet it is true. I admit it! I love it! I absorb it! I accept it! 3,500 silly little units called calories are wiped off my slate. March is off to an excellent start.
I want to incorporate a significant amount of green vegetables into my diet. Not just to honor St. Patrick. Not just to celebrate Spring. I need green to build good health. Green is a tough job. Given the choice between pizza and spinach salad... green loses. Hmmm...steak or celery, french fries or green beans, grilled cheese or greek salad, corn bread or arugala...you get the picture. Resisting green foods, in part comes from winter cold. I desire starchy comfort food and most vegetables just can't satisfy me.
What a difference one day and one pound make. March promises Spring (despite the realities of many snowy days ahead). I bid a hearty adieu to the two coldest and most pyschologically difficult months in the world of weight loss. My feet are itching to get outside into fresh muddy Spring air, and away from the pounding of the treadmill. There is hope. A blessed Monday and a successful March to all involved in the struggle!
