I am dangerously close...

...To losing 40 pounds
Only 4 ounces to go!

I'm hoping in the morning, 

it will be 40 pounds gone!

On Thursday, I'm headed back to the mountains.   
I'm hoping to reach the 40 mark for sure by then.

Sunday, we ate at Ruby Tuesday.   I had some of those wonderful croutons on my salad...more than a few, and part of one of those tiny biscuits they bring.   Yeah, I thought I could sneak that right in.  Yesterday, I just wanted to eat.   It was a little likes days past...just wanting to eat, and hunger was not a criteria considered.  I didn't eat.   I knew what was going on, and I made sure I ate very low carb yesterday.  Today, no more mindless eating urges.

I was thinking the Ranch dressing must have had sugar in it, I've heard some dressings do.   But today, I researched those croutons.   I always thought they were pumpernickel.   Wrong!   They are honey wheat, and deep fried.   No wonder they're good, eh?   No wonder I was having visions of binges! 

I am not counting every little carb, calorie, or fat gram.   I try not to give a lot of thought to this at all.   For the first time in my life I can say "This is not a diet, it's a lifestyle."    

This has been so easy that I know that I know that I know it's a God thing.
