Days 8, 9

Monday, April 30, 2012

Weigh In: 210.2 lbs
Total Loss: 9.8 lbs

Breakfast: Orange, apple, decaf green tea

Activity: Shopping! Woo hoo

Lunch: Southwest salad (romaine, mixed greens, green onion, carrot, cabbage, red bell pepper, corn, black beans, guacamole, shredded cheese, tortilla strips)

Dinner: Brown rice, black beans, sauteed onion, mushroom, garlic, EVOO, diet Pepsi

Thoughts: I asked a friend for some job interview tips so I figured I'd attach a lunch date with it, and that SW salad was amazing! I didn't even need the creamy salsa dressing that came with it. Dinner was alright, I think I'm burning myself out on mushrooms though. I desperately need to find some more no-salt seasonings too. Yay for consistent weight loss! I've been down nearly 10 lbs for a week now, so I know it's gone for good! Can't wait for next week's results.

Breakfast: Orange, apple, decaf green tea

Lunch: Arby's Pecan Chicken Salad Wrap, side salad, balsamic vinaigrette, diet Dr. Pepper

Dinner: Tortilla chips with guacamole (avocado, tomato, onion, lemon juice, salt), diet Pepsi

Thoughts: I GOT THE JOB!! Yay!! This is a huge deal in all aspects of my life, even the way I eat. Once I start working in a few weeks, I'll be able to afford organic produce weekly. Can't wait! While I did stop for fast food, and while I'm sure the calories in the wrap were fairly high (630 cal, just looked it up), I'm proud of myself for making smarter choices all around instead of just giving in and getting a heavy sandwich and curly fries. I'm proud that I can show restraint and purpose when choosing food outside the home. I still have a ways to go to get on the Eat to Live program fully, that is for sure. But I am totally making progress! I think this will really benefit me in the long run as opposed to going cold turkey on dairy, beef, poultry, sodium and refined, processed foods. Makin my way slowly but surely!
