Day 7

Weight in - wanna know?? I mean do you REALLY want to know?? Well, I sure did! I have been measuring and doing low fat this and fat free that all week. It wasn't all bad tho, I mean I can honestly say that I have eaten more fruits and veggies this week then I have in long time and even better - my house is cleaner then it has been in months! No more chillin in front of the TV, zoning out and eating my way to another size.

Ok, back to what you are are waiting for. Drum roll, please....... I lost 4.5 lbs!
Did you hear that, 4.5 lbs in WEEK! I can't even tell you how excited I was! If I lose another 4.5 lbs this week, it will be a thing to celebrate. I will be below the number I swore I would NEVER hit (which I have plus 7 lbs.) I can't wait to see that new digit.

I have to say, breakfast is still a challenge for me. I thought when our church time changed from 9am to 11am the beginning of this month that I would have plenty of time..... nope. I still managed to walk out of the house in rush, with nothing but a mint in my tummy. We make our weekly breakfast on Sunday - the eggs, bacon, potatoes and toast, it is something I look forward to and I can honestly say today was no different and that is such a great thing. I got my egg, canadian bacon and toast today and it was great.

I wanted something sweet a few hours after our late breakfast and realized I wanted a shake.... and how does that happen... with light coconut milk, of course! I had a great pineapple coconut smoothie made with just that, coconut (milk) and pineapple chunks in their juice. Added a bit of frozen orange juice concentrate and ice. We wanted a bit more coconut flavor and put in a bit of Capella's pina colada drops and 2 packets of Truvia. Ahhh, that hit the spot.

Dinner was bit later - just finished actually. we had spice beef tacos and there was nothing wrong with this at all. When I saw the recipe it was 2 corn tortillas for 7 points and I thought that will work. But when I read the measurements for the toppings I thought there was no way that would be enough. It called for 1/4 cup of meat, 1/4 cup of lettuce and 1 T of cheese. Well, I will give some credit to those great Weight Watcher recipes again... I actually used less than called for toppings and was able to add another taco for an addtional 1
1 point. Love feeling this full and having my food full of flavor. We added cilantro, tomatoes and sour cream (daisy fat free is the BEST and 0 pts.)

Now I have 18 points left for dessert.... is is sad that I automatically thought that is 3 bowls of cereal?? LOL oh well, I am thinking strawberry shortcake kabobs might work a bit better. What do you think??
