Trying new things...

I am definitely a creature of habit, but have decided it's time to change that. In order to really make a difference and loose the weight, and keep it off for that matter, I need to make some changes and try new things. Medifast is definitely helping me on this journey. I finally broke the plateau I had with my weight and excited to set some new goals! However, I'm sure I will hit another wall soon. So it's time to do away with the Pumpkin Spice Latte's, sugar, and such so that I can get healthier! I have been introduced to two products that I am very excited about. Walden Farms is a company that sells No Sugar, No Fat, No Calories products. They range from dressings, syrups, BBQ sauce, dips, pasta sauce, ketchup, mayo, and more. Check out waldenfarms.com for more info. They sell most of their product line at Market Street. The other is Capella flavor drops. They are non-sweetened flavors so that I CAN have my pumpkin spice in a different way. They have tons of flavors too, which I'm excited to try. Many of these things have always been my weakness so if I can find a way to still get the flavor every now and then sign me up! It's also about making the right choices. I am so very proud of my husband for choosing to not have any fried food for the rest of the year. So far he has made it almost two weeks! Such an inspiration to follow! It's also about preparing yourself when you go places. So take for instance I went to trade days today in McKinney. The popcorn, cinnamon roasted nuts, and corny dogs smelled amazing, but I had my medifast meal and snacks with me and a bottle of water to Just say NO! My biggest factor was thinking about loosing the 25-30 lbs I have and wanting a cute baby belly someday when we have kids. I'm really tired of say I will do this and then giving up cuz something looks better. This is go time, this is the final time I say I'm going to do this. Thankfully I have a supportive husband that feels the same way. Soon you won't be able to recognize us both!

On another note, I'm trying out the use of magnets to help my shoulder and ankle. I have tendentious in my ankle and ever since the shoulder surgery it is always aching. At the beginning of the month at Canton I got mom a bracelet to help her arthritis in her thumbs. She said it is helping, and she even ordered more for the other wrist, so I thought I would give it a try. The same people were at McKinney Trade Days, so I got a necklace and anklet. I'll let you know how it does. If it even slightly helps my shoulder, I'd say these things are worth it!
