Very happy today

I paid a visit to my Dr this afternoon in to get a couple of referrals done so I can make appointments for while my Mum is visiting.  Now I've never been a fan of trips to see the Dr but I have to say I have a wonderful primary care physician and I do like my ob and neurologist and for the first time in years I almost enjoy going.  Anyways today I proved to myself that in a month I've managed to loose 14lbs.  I don't entirely trust my home scales and it's nice to know what the same scales think.  Seeing as this diet doesn't exactly feel like a diet I'm a very happy bunny right now.  I also walked to the office rather than taking the easy way out and driving.  It's not that far and made me feel good not to mention the afternoon was just that nice that walking seemed appropriate.  One of the things I've never regretted is not changing my primary when we moved to Dublin, in fact I'm actually closer to her now than I used to be so it all works well for us.

So onto food, lunch today consisted of a tomato basil salad with a few beans thrown in and dinner tonight was another new one for me...Puerto Rican chicken and potatoes, yet another fantastic winner for taste.  The only change I will make next time is to add I think some zucchini for a side dish.  Tomato sauces and all that are a little challenging for the kids right now and I felt it needed something a little green to go with it.  I can honestly say it's not felt like I'm really on a diet and how easy it's been to loose that weight so far.  My Dr was very happy with me and told me I'm actually inspiring her...now that's something lol not that my Dr looks like she needs to loose weight hehe.

One of the things I do try and do tho is if I need a few extra things during the week and need to run to the store if I can manage it I walk rather than take the car.  It's good exercise gets all of us out and some fresh air and is better for the environment.  All I can say is after the Dr's visit and an hour or more this evening in the garden and given that the girls have been awake since noon today they better sleep well tonight :)
