"Miss Deborah, You are Losing Weight!"

Don't cha love it? Those words were music to my ears.

This past Wednesday I was at church, preparing to teach Children's Choir. As I walked down the hallway, one of the other workers who was following me, said those beautiful words, "Miss Deborah, You are are Losing Weight!"

My response was, "Thank you!!! There is more weight to go!" By losing weight, I have finally won the recognition of that loss by my friends and family. It feels so good! Those words make every time I turned down carbs and sugar totally worth it.

Remember: every 5 pounds you lose shows more than the 5 pounds before it!

No Sugar, No Processed Carbs--5th Day

Up to today I had felt just fine. Enough energy. No cravings. No weak feelings. I felt just fine. Until this morning. I got up feeling, well, for lack of a better word, I felt blah!!! I was tired and I just felt heavy. No energy at all. I checked my blood pressure and it was normal, as was my blood sugar. Hmmmmmmm
No, I didn't go and eat a peanut butter sandwich, snack crackers , or any such thing. After 'instant messaging' Lisa, my daughter, I followed her suggestions. I drank some milk, and ate a handful of nuts.
Then I did as my 96 year old grandmother says, "Count your blessings, not your pains." I counted my blessings, put a smile on my face, and went out and worked my Mary Kay business. I got so busy in fact, that I didn't have time to think about how I was feeling. All things considered, it was a very good day!
So my "blah" feelings were really not that important. All I had to do was get busy doing something and quit thinking about them. Then soon, the "blahs" were forgotten in the midst of the busyness of the day.
