Day 4

Well it's 4 days I've stayed at the same number. Once again-at least the number didn't go up. My sister in law made a valid point...I've lost 21 pounds. I believe that in my mind for some reason I thought that it would just want to jump off my body. :) But that's not the case, and as I've said before that this isn't going to happen over night. It took a long time to get this way and I need to know that it's not going to wake up tomorrow morning looking like I did 15 years ago.

Improvements are still happening and that's exciting. Even though I'm still fighting through whatever virus wanted to tag along, I am still feeling pretty good. Thank you to all who have been so encouraging and supportive! You guys rock!

Weight loss: 0
Total: -21.2 pounds and -11 inches.

I also find articles about what not to eat and what to eat pretty interesting. But over lunch today I stumbled across this one and WHAT a shock to me: (This article came from yahoo.com and men's health. Sure made me realize that I was being fooled by the "sounds" healthy.)

21. Worst "Market Fresh" Sandwich
Arby’s Market Fresh Roast Turkey and Swiss

Don’t be fooled by vague, healthy-sounding monikers like “market fresh.” More often than not, words like “fresh” and “all natural” are marketing smoke screens. Surprisingly enough, Arby’s line of roast beef products tends to be among the safest bets on the menu. While beef may get a bad rap from fat-phobic consumers, most deli cuts of roast beef are nearly as lean as turkey or chicken.
