trillium1's Journal, 06 Jul 19

I've finally squeaked into the 140s (149.4). I've been eating three meals and drinking plenty of water. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are loaded with low-calorie foods like cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, kale, plain salad greens, apple chunks, strawberries, blueberries, oranges and some kiwis. Each meal contains protein from salmon, sardines, chicken, beans, skim milk, plain Greek yogurt, tofu and seeds and nuts. I still love whole grains but I've cut back to two servings a day. In the evening I drink camomile tea to stop myself from snacking.
We eat out at least once a week and that's when trim some calories from another meal.

My clothes are starting to look pretty sloppy so the hunt is on for a few new items. Donations to Salvation Army and Value Village are piling up.

Isn't it a nice feeling when you are wearing sizes you haven't been in for a long time! We have similar goals, trying to get under 150 then to the next goal!

that's amazing! I think I'll try camomile in the evening as well to help curb hunger pang

That’s awesome!! Great job! I didn’t know that about the tea. I’ll be trying that tonight!! 😁

Chamomile tea has a slightly sweet taste and doesn't have any caffeine so it's a good evening drink. It tastes okay cold and doesn't acquire a bitter taste when it sits for awhile. My favourite brand is Twinings. I've tried cheaper brands but they seem to be weaker.

The tea is great for travel mugs. I don't have to take the bag out because it never gets ugly.
