Trust The Process

The problem with having a lot of weight to  lose is trusting the process.  It can be hard to be patient, waiting is difficult.

Part of me is fine about how I look, the other is, like, get this weight off me NOW!!  It is frustrating.

Yeah, the scale stayed the same again today.  I know there's a million reasons why, number one is I need to give it time.  My body is doing incredible things inside.  I need to just be patient and not get hung up on the numbers on the scale.  I feel smaller, less bloated, clothes feeling better and that's a good sign!

I need to think of this as a marathon and not a sprint.  I'm in it for the long haul.  I have a broken down metabolism that I need to fix and it won't happen overnight.  I don't want to set myself up for failure in the future by tweaking too hard now.  Clean eating is where it's at.

I'd like to eventually go paleo, but that will be when I am at goal.  I am basically already eating low carb paleo.  Honestly, I'm just trying not to over think things in my daily life and use this blog for all my random thoughts, hahaha!!

Last night the kids had french fries for supper with their hamburgers and I had baked green beans!  I think they would have been amazing if I had allowed them to bake a little longer because the ones that were a little crispy were the best.

I'm sitting here trying to think of what to eat today and it's hard.  I'm tired and while we have many things to eat, I don't know what to have today.  I try to have the biggest meal for when my husband is home and often it is lunch time.  With my son home at lunch, I try to find foods he likes too.

I'm thinking of starting bullet proof coffees again.  I'm not going to go all crazy with the fat, probably just a teaspoon of coconut oil.  We're getting low on butter but I find it's great with just the coconut oil.  It's like a latte even though it is just coffee and fat whirled together.

I also want to start taking turmeric again.  A while back I had what I called my health concoction.  It was turmeric, black pepper (to help the bio-availability of the the turmeric), cinnamon, coconut oil and raw cacao.  It was nice and I know it was helping my health.  I would probably go the golden paste route and have it in cashew or coconut milk.  I'll write more in the future about the amazing things turmeric is good for.

Meal Plan:
Breakfast: 2 eggs, bullet proof coffee
Lunch: fried garlic pork, sauteed spinach, broccoli coleslaw w/mayo
Supper:Left over roast beef au jus, green beans, 1 tbsp cream cheese or some skyr yogurt
