Getting better at this!

Feb 14, 2009

 I'm definitely doing much better.  Since my last doctor's appointment on Wednesday, I have lost 4 pounds!  Woohoo!  I've been eating only 3 small meals a day and that's about all I can handle.  I had my first fill, and it seems to be successful so far.  Next one is March 11th.  It's a slow and steady race to get to goal, I know this.  

Right now, I have gone through some phases of exhaustion and exhilaration.  Friday I thought I was going to pass out at one point while walking the dogs.  Then it started to rain, so I went into the bar.  After a few minutes Jolie got me some juice and I felt better.  When I got home, I felt so much better than I hopped on the elliptical for 15 minutes.  Last night, I worked my abs and I can see a noticeable different because there are new stretch marks giving my waist some definition.  That reminds me, I didn't take pictures this past Friday, so I should do that in the next few days. 

At the farmer's market yesterday, I purchased heads of califlower, broccoli and some strawberries.  I steamed the califlower and added two tablespoons of yogurt butter and two wedges of garlic and herb Laughing Cow Cheese then roughly mashed it.  It's delicious.  I steamed the broccoli to be eaten as florets, and then I cut the strawberries and marinated them in Blush Wine Vinegarette.  I have a little two cup bowl of roast beef my mom made and some chicken salad I through together that I've been picking on.  I eat about 2-3 tablespoons of meat and about 1/2 cup of veggies and I'm totally satisfied.
