As I was updating my blog I found it interesting to go back into some old post where I was so focused on the scale. The below post is when I was eager to get to my goal weight of 150, a weight I would later discover was not realistic for me. My highest weight was 212 and I am currently living a healthy and happy life in the lower 170’s.
This is how my Thursday morning started.
Are you jealous?
I was really looking forward to my weigh-in this morning. I still can’t believe the weight is actually coming off. There were many times that I really just thought there was no way I could weigh below 160. Today I was really hoping for 154……and I weighed…..
153.8!
I was so excited, I ran in Kohl’s (it’s right beside my meeting) to see if I could find a pair of jeans real quick for the weekend.
Are you ready????
I bought a pair of Levi’s in a size 8!!!!!!
The adrenaline rush I am experiencing right now is almost equivilant to when I went sky-diving for my 40th birthday!!!
Lot’s going on today and the rest of the weekend too, so I’m keeping this post short today. I’m taking the weekend off from blogging, so have a great weekend, and I’ll be back on Monday!
Here are yesterday’s eats……
Breakfast
Lunch
Snack
My Evening Meal??
I cooked up some Quinoa (10 PPV), then I added to the pot….
4 oz. diced Grilled Chicken Breast (4)
1/4 C. Black Beans (2)
1/4 C. Corn (2)
1 tsp Taco Seasoning
Salsa
Dinner
I gave it all a good stir, added a little more salsa, heated it all up, and divided it in two.
Scooped it right outta the pan…..
….topped it with 1 PPV worth of cheese and a little more salsa.
One Serving = 10 PPV
Developing a taste for Quinoa and keeping Cooked Grilled Chicken Breast in the freezer makes for a simple, easy, filling, low point dinner!
