Kissing Another 5 Pounds Goodbye

I was very excited to see my weight when I got on the scale at the doctor's office this afternoon. I was surprised to see 5 more pounds gone, gone, gone.
I was expecting it to be 2 to 3 pounds, but not complaining at all about losing 5 pounds. This makes my total weight loss right at 15 pounds. I would love to lose another 15 pounds.
My blood pressure was on the high side today, but because of the continued weight loss, my doctor wants to see how it goes since I am dedicated to losing this weight. He is not making me come back next month but rescheduled me for four months out.
I'm excited and pleased with this journey so far. I will continue to strive to eat better and stay active.

@Deepizzaguy Losing weight also helps bring blood pressure down as well as other benefits.

@LindaOHio I do good when I get my mindset right. I think about the sugar, sodium, etc. in everything I eat and ask myself if it is worth it? NO? Leave it alone. Maybe? Take a bite. Yes? Eat it.

I think about the sugar, sodium, etc. in everything I eat and ask myself if it is worth it? NO? Leave it alone. Maybe? Take a bite. Yes? Eat it. I have also been cooking healthier meals. No more fried stuff or just once every two to three weeks as a treat.
