I lost some weight!

The Organic chick says:

Fat free and sugar free isn't good for you.  It makes you crave the fats and sugars more.  All the chemicals they put in the food to keep the calories down doesn't keep you thin or healthy at all.  It only makes the dependence stronger.  Eat REAL foods and enjoy the REAL taste of it!

Today we had some thunderstorms with some lightning and creepy clouds.  I made an executive decision to drive the car.  No need to ride a moving lightning rod and ruin a perfectly good life.

After eating organically for a week, I jumped on the scale today and I lost 2 lbs.  Not much, and only 1/10th of what I need to lose- but it's a start in the right direction.  :)

I guess putting only good stuff in your body does good things.  I didn't really eat any sweets, but I also didn't watch my portions closely at all.  I just only ate natural, organic things.  I like the direction this is going.  This big girl riding a bike is hoping to get a little smaller with the changes I've made. 
Funny thing is:  I haven't missed the sweets that much.  When I was eating like crap, I'd crave it all the time.  Now that I'm not eating the HFCS, the aspartame, and the other crap- I don't crave it.  I'd almost rather have an apple or a piece of granola instead of a candy bar or a bowl of ice cream.  I've read that the aspartame and the other chemicals we eat actually make you crave the sweets even more.  I can see that.  I hope that I'm detoxifying my body and moving it in a whole new direction.  Now c'mon 18 more pounds so mama can wear that bikini in public again this summer without frightening all the little children at the beach. 


Today would have been a good day to ride- if I were riding home right now (in the evening).  When I left work we were under some major thunderstorms and the rain was emptying from the sky like the contents of my bladder after 92 oz of water.  It was crazy!  I'm glad that I decided to drive instead of ride.  Tomorrow is supposed to be in the low 70's and beautiful.  Sounds like a bike ride around the lake after work is in order.  Gotta get my biking butt and legs in training for Freewheel- it'll be here before I know it. 

Ta ta!
