Hi all! I have been so crazy busy over the last few weeks with preparing for the move, etc. that I have had no time to come online. A quick three month update - as of today I am down 108 lbs at my 3 month check up! It was so crazy, but so awesome to have them tell me that :D
I ordered some new clothes and it was awesome that after they arrived, and I got smaller pants, they were STILL too big (LOL) so I had to return them for the next size down. Woot woot! The two sizes smaller shirts I got fit great and the smaller shorts fit great too. All in all I am feeling great about both my diet, and my health overall.
As far as eating goes I'm plugging alone, doing just fine. I am eating a lot of almonds lately (instead of chips) for the protein factor. Also, eating a lot of simpler meals. For example, the other night I made a pork tenderloin roast. I had two small slices and a small salad. That was my entire meal and I was stuffed :). Last night for a "snack" I had a small salad. I've been much more aware of what I eat and what I put into my body. For lunch today I went to Chipotle and got a chicken burrito bowl, no rice :). Basically it was a spoonful of chicken, a spoonful of black beans, fajita veggies (onions and green peppers), cheese, sour cream, and lettuce. I ate pretty much the whole thing, and felt like a huge pig, until I really thought about it and was like hmm - the lettuce and peppers were rich in water, and none of what I ate was massive in calories or anything like that - all in all the bowl was like 220 calories for the whole thing - that's less than a lean cuisine lol. In any event, after thinking about it that way, I was like hmm ok this is ok now haha :)
I'm making something with ground turkey tonight for dinner - not sure what. My team at work is having a "healthy potluck" next Friday so that should definitely be fun. I am going to make Taco Soup. I have made it once before, and it's really delicious and healthy! :)
All in all things are going well. At work I'm a bit stressed out recently over some "comes with the territory" sort of managerial things, but I am confident that things will get better soon!
Happy and healthy eating all!
