Day 23- Down South Dieting

I was surprised to learn just how calorie friendly Cracker Barrel can be if you just do your research first. Everything in the picture above was only 454 calories.  It included 1/2 order of chicken and dumplings,1/2 order hash brown casserole, and 2/3 of an order of fried okra.  So if you're in the mood for some country cooking.  Try this combo next 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 19- Bubble Poppin'

Crave something sweet after a meal.  Pop a piece of gum...I like the Extra Dessert Delights-Mint Chocolate Chip. It gets rid of that annoying sweet tooth for only 5 calories.

Day 17- A Good Day for Chili

A cold and grey day calls for chili and grilled cheese.  I don't make chili from scratch so I've tried just about every brand of premade chili that my grocery carries.  Wolf Brand Chili is by far my favorite. Especially if you like it spicy.  It may seem to be high in calories 360 per 1 cup serving. But trust me it will fill you up and then some.

Day 15- Week 2 Weight Loss Update

This week I lost 2.5 lbs.  That's a total of 7.5 lbs in 2 weeks.  I'm getting pretty comfortable with my 1200 calorie intake. Now I need to start working on drinking more water.  That's going to be my goal for this coming week.  At least 1 bottle of water a day. This may seem easy to some but I am a self proclaimed Diet Soda addict.
