Week 2 is in the bag and I am still feeling GOOD! I'm still a FAT MAMMA but I am a little bit less of one again this week.
Highlights of Week 2
I added exercise into my life.
I tried a new food and liked it...qunioa. Have you ever had it? If so leave me a comment about how you like to prepare it/eat it.
I purchased a new food scale and started to use it in order to be more diligent about just how much I am eating.
I am still highly motivated to not be a FAT MAMMA!
I took the kids on a solo road trip...a first with two. Not really weight related but there will be a post about how it was weight related.
Lowlights of Week 2
I just couldn't say no to a margarita at my Aunt's house. But it was GOOOOD! Must keep working on willpower.
I had a few times that I ate "just a bite" and felt terribly guilty.
I ate a lot of processed foods...too many frozen diet meals.
As you can see, I am really trying to take the time to think about what I am doing/eating each and every day. It's hard but I must be mindful about how, what and when I eat...it really does help. I knew going into tonight's weigh in that I would be "disappointed". Not really b/c like I said last week, 10 lbs or 0.1 lbs...a loss is a loss and I must be happy with however much I lose. I am happy to say that I once again had a great weigh-in...-2.6lbs! That puts my two week total at 9.2lbs.
Looking ahead at this week, it's going to be tough. I am having lunch with friends and a family birthday dinner. My goal is to plan ahead so I can make the best possible choices. Wish me luck!

ReplyDeleteI just had some quinoa tonight. I'll send you recipes over the weekend when i can scan them. Tonight, i just added onion, tomato, black beans, a little feta, salt, pepper oil and raspberry vinegar. paired it with a BBQ chicken thigh (new fan of thighs vs breast - much more flavor and not that bad) YUMMY!
ReplyDeleteQuinoa is like a super food so i'm always looking for new recipes!! Protein is your friend!!
And don't beat yourself up. This is a lifestyle so a margarita here and there is totally cool. When i was on WW, Erica and I would go out for beer after our weekly meeting. It was our treat for the week- our leader just laughed!
Kel,

Also, another great recipe, I think from skinny taste, is the zucchinin tots! So yummy with honey pork chops....very yummy and healthy. Have both pinned!
