Day 34- Taco Time

Next time you're in a rush and find yourself in the Taco Bell drive thru.  Try something from the Fresco Menu.  I love the Fresco Chicken Soft Tacos. They're only 150 each and are really satisfying.

Week 4: Weight Loss Update

This week I lost another pound.  Wow, that sounds like I just misplaced it and will later find it next to my car keys or that earring I lost 2 years ago. But no! I made that pound leave like an annoying boyfriend.  I sent that pound to the curb.  It's alot of hard work losing weight so take charge and congratulate yourself on even the smallest of accomplishments.

PS: That makes 10 lbs gone for good.

Day 25- Soup and Snow

 Cambell's Soup at Hand (chicken noodle)  is always something I gravitate toward on a cold, snowy day like today.  It's only 70 calories plus it warms me up in no time.

Week 3: Weight Loss Update

My weigh-in today resulted in 1.5 lbs lost.  That's a total of 9 lbs.  Also, I ordered another pair of my favorite jeans in a size smaller and they fit. That was really exciting and a great motivation to keep going.

Day 13- Snack Happy

Today ended in a low calorie snack combo of ginger snaps, chewy granola bar, and white chocolate pretzels.  It's a fun surprise when you end up with extra calories occasionally and can blow them on sweets.  Definitely not something you should do everyday but every now and then is fun.

Day 12- Trusting Your Gut

Some days you won't be able to calculate your calories especially if you're eating at someone's home.  Make your best guess and stop eating  just as you start to feel full.  You're body will know when to stop since it's getting familiar with the reduced calories taken in at meal times.

Day 10- A Mug Full of Inspiration

I pulled this mug absentmindedly from the cabinet to hold my soup little did I know that it would be more than a vessel; it would become an inspiration.  A simple word "Shine".  To give forth and glow with light.  That small mug had me thinking about how I wanted to contribute to the light of the world.   I will laugh more, forgive often, and speak kindly.  How would you "Shine"?

Day 8- Week 1 Weight Loss Update

Today was my weigh-in for Week 1.  As I stepped on the scale this morning I hoped for the best.  I was surprised to see that I have lost 5lbs.  Wow!  Insert big smile here...

Day 6- Granola to the Rescue

Today was very busy.  So I had to skip lunch and make due with just a pack of granola.
