Day 22, 1/22/2013 – Eat, why is it so difficult to lose weight? I’ll tell you why, because I live in Texas, home of great Tex-Mex food, complete with extra carbs and calories. To top it off, there is always a bowl full of chips and salsa at your table and Queso (that’s hot melted cheese dip for you non-Texans) is always on the menu...I LOVE Tex-Mex! I did it today though, managed to have a lower carb/calorie entree without too many chips. All in moderation, right? Oh that I was like Samantha on Bewitched and could twitch my nose and make the extra pounds disappear. But, alas, I am not and must lose those holiday pounds the old fashioned way. Pray, my prayer today is somewhat selfish, I pray that I may continue to lose my holiday pounds and get more fit and healthy along the way. Joy, my joy is that I have a “manageable” amount of weight to lose. I cannot imagine what it is like to have an even longer weight loss journey than I currently do. For that I am thankful.
