Non Scale Victories

With my self imposed ban on reporting on how much weight I've lost and gained [which is usually the same 2 kgs] it is difficult to think of things to celebrate [sad I know]. In the weight loss world we call all the other stuff NSVs -- non scale victories.

So here's a couple from me
- tonight I ate bread - B.R.E.A.D. It was spelt and rye bread as I am wheat sensitive but I ate two small slices, then cut up the rest of the loaf and put it in the freezer. I ate a trigger food and stopped at a normal portion.
- I felt like pumpkin soup [it's getting cold at night] and although on paper, this seems like a carb nightmare [soup with the aforementioned bread], I ate pumpkin soup. Yum!! Filled me up and didn't have anything else afterwards. Healthy food, no guilt, what I wanted not what I felt I should have [more bloody meat/fish/chicken].
- went to the Doctor on the weekend to get my contraception sorted out [whole other story about Depo Provera ... ] and had my blood pressure taken. The result = 110/70. I am no doctor but I think that is damn healthy for a 42 year old!

Day 2 completed -- clean for 2 days. Clean is a great word for me -- clean eating, clean from addictive exercise and addictive eating.
