....with a note to the postings below....

First of all, that salmon looks FABULOUS!!! I can smell the onions and garlic cooking now! YUM!

Secondly, today IS another day. Do not be crushed. Just remember that whatever you eat (even if you know it's not the best choice you could make) try to only eat half of what you normally would. You will lose without being so careful about what it is you're eating. You can do it.

Very happy today....lost 2.5 pounds! I feel like I'm on my way!

Of course, just as I'm gaining momentum with eating better, I arrived at work this morning to find two chocolate "bunnies" on my desk from some unnamed person and they are, at this moment, staring me down. One is a "crisp" - I love those. Haven't quite decided what to do about those things. Guess I'll continue to work and see what transpires. Maybe they'll get up and hop away!

More later.....C.A.

Does This Blog Make My Butt Look FAT?

Yes! The answer to this question is YES! BECAUSE I AM! I started on this journey a week ago yesterday and when I weighed in in the morning I thought for sure that I would come up with at least a 2 lb loss. BOY WAS I WRONG! It was a whopping .... wait for it .... .5 lbs POINT FIVE!

I'm deflated. Crushed. Trying to pick myself up and move on. God it's hard! When I was in my 20s the weight quite literally melted away. Now it's like it's glued itself to my butt. Which I swear is getting so big I'm an inch taller when I sit down.

Today is another day......

Lean Green Beans!

I didn't lose 2 pounds, but I did weigh myself and found that I'm 5 less than I thought I was. This was inspiration enough, then I saw Lady Carb had lost 2lbs and wanted to kill her, then myself, but I got over it and decided to cook the following: Fresh Green Beans, cleaned and washed

Fresh Onion, chopped
Fresh Garlic, chopped

1 Jalapeno pepper, chopped

1 Tbls olive oil

1 Tbls Smart Balance butter stuff

2 Tsp Soy sauce

1 Tsp Asian Hot Sauce

1 Salmon Filet, with dry seasonings and broiled

I sauteed everything but the salmon in a large skillet until the onions and garlic were translucent. Then I added the green beans and sauteed them for a few minutes and then covered them for until they were al dente and tasty. Then after broiling the salmon to perfection, I covered it with a large ladle full of the green bean mix and may have added a little more soy for flavor. It was jammin!

CARBADDICT - BACK FROM MY W.I.

....with good news!! Lost 2 pounds this week. I'm very happy with that. Not a huge loss but I've never been a fast "loser". Now I'm going to eat my "0" point soup and have a 1 point WW bar and drink another gallon or so of water!!

Happy Lunching!!

On my way to check in. I'm feeling somewhat confident that I will be down a bit today. I hope my positive attitude isn't dashed by a lousy number. My clothes seem to fit a little more comfortably. I must try to remember that whatever the scale says I'm eating better and eventually the weight will come off. It's ALL IN THE 'TUDE!!! ONWARD AND UPWARD -- I mean, ONWARD AND DOWNWARD!!!

Kiki Day TWO

Do I look like this yet? NO? Ok. But I'm working on it! Here are my goals!

• Give up ALL SODA
• Eat more whole foods and LESS processed foods (i.e., fruits, veggies, etc.)
• Eat more organically (i.e., organic meats, etc.)
• Eat a salad with every meal
• Walk at least 5 miles a week to start

So far so good. I know it's only day 2 but I'm on my way! I have actually stopped eating all day long. Being a stay at home mom it's easy to nibble all day! And I have! I've nibbled my way into a size 14, ahem, and I'm tired of it! I want my little ones to look at me and think I'm pretty and healty! I want to feel healthy! I want to be healthy. I don't need to be a size 2 but I want to be able to put on something and feel comfortable in my skin! So I'm doing it! One day at a time. Heck, even one meal at time!
