The next week is going to be challenging because I am going out of town with my significant other to meet his mom and sister in Myrtle Beach for some r&r. I don't think I will try to lose any more weight while I am there, since that would be the ultimate in wishful thinking, but I am going to do my best to get lots of exercise and eat moderately. Hopefully I can keep from gaining any back.
After I get back, my plan will be to get down to my original goal weight by November 20th. Now that I have a pretty good system going, I think that it will be doable. I would really like to get a little below that weight so that I won't completely blow it over Thanksgiving week!
Going with the lower fat meals and lots of low starch veggies has been the key for me. I have also found that my overall appetite decreased gradually over time and I have been satisfied with much smaller portions than I used to eat. I also bumped up my exercise schedule gradually, and I am still not a big exercise freak, so I believe that moderate exercise is sufficient to keep the fat burning up.
In the past few weeks I have come across some good websites with great vegetarian recipes. Here are a few of them, which I hope you will really enjoy!
