Day 17- I am actually losing!

Well, I weighed myself this morning, and I am down 15 pounds since I started! I truly do believe that 80% of weight loss is from diet. My body seems happy and sound, and I just feel like a whole new person. My clothes are starting to feel baggy on me a little, and when I look in the mirror, my face even looks thinner. Those are little things that keep me going! I thought I would blog early because I am teaching Zumba tonight and I know when I get home, I will be ready for bed. Today was a very productive day. I run a small business from my home making soaps and lotions, and I had a lot of orders to fill today. So, all afternoon, I worked and worked. Other than that, nothing else exciting. No stress, no drama.....just a nice, but busy day. I like days like today because it keeps my mind going and I don't have time to think too much! LOL I started reading a book last night called "Water for Elephants." It is real good! I am only to about chapter 5, but I can't wait to get my hands on it again tonight. I know there will be a movie coming out soon about it, and that will definitely be a show for a girl's night out! I love to read, and it is my treat at the end of the day. I love to curl up on the couch and read until my eyes can hardly stay open any longer. For all of you that love to read, may I suggest "The Help." I think that is the BEST book I have ever read in my life! There is also a movie coming out for that on, too. I better get ready for my Zumba class! We will be rockin' the house tonight! Here is what I ate today: Breakfast- 2 scrambled egg whites 2 slices turkey bacon 1 c. green tea 32 oz water Mid-morning snack- 1 c. fresh cut pineapple Lunch- 1 bowl veggie and cabbage soup Mid-afternoon snack- 1/2 c. mixed nuts Dinner- 3 oz baked chicken breast 1 c. steamed zucchini After-dinner snack- (I will eat it after Zumba) 1 apple
