Wishing you fast healing Barb. Keep up the good work, you will feel better for it.

So I lost $10 to my boss, he picked Bubba for the win. My guy Adam Scott was picked mostly for his good looks and sexy accent – guess that doesn’t count in golf!!

Steps 14,267 – my personal best!

Did my measurements today as it’s the 14^th. Seem to be losing it mostly off the hips and thighs this month – I have no issues with that! I dug a pair of size 16 jeans out of the Rubbermaid bin and thought – try them on and see how far you have to go to get in them (I am out of pants) – um – they fit…yeah chubby Jo in size 16 jeans. I was wearing 22s four short months ago. They are brand new bought years ago when I was 'going to get my act together and lose weight.'

B- premier protein

S- fat free cottage cheese turkey pepperette

Lunch – tuna salad and melba

S- greek yogurt, fresh strawberries loaded with protein powder

Dinner – chicken breast, salad balsamic dressing

Have a great day friends!

Jo

Congratulations on getting into the pants. It is such a great moment when smaller things start to fit

Great re the pants Jo......start wearing them because soon they will also be too big!

Morning Barb, hope you have a good day. Jo, it's really smart to do your measurements as well as the scale. I never did that and I kind of regret it - I have no idea how many inches I was before!  I just started measuring them a few weeks ago just to make sure I stay on track now.  Whoop**** post before I posted anything!

I made a chicken biryani last night that turned out great. For me, it was heavy on the chicken, light on the rice, and that worked out.  Next time I think I'll put a lot more chicken in it than the recipe calls for, so that when I scoop more chicken and less rice, there will be more chicken in the leftovers.  But hubby likes both the rice and the chicken, so I've made myself some good portions for the freezer, and there is still enough left for him take for lunch today.  Made a delicious raita to go on the side as well, out of Greek yogurt.  However, it's rather high in fat even though I used fat free Greek yogurt because of the oil the recipe called for. Next time, I will use a lot less.

Tonight I think I'll make another recipe from my Thai cookbook - some kind of curry.  I'll do it with chicken, I guess, and serve it over rice noodles. Fewer noodles for me and more curry, and hubby can have as many noodles as he likes.  Today's going to be kind of heavy on the fat for me, but I'm cycling to and from work, so I'm not going to worry about it too much. I find I get very hungry on cycling days, so I try to eat stuff that's substantial, satisfying, has a decent amount of energy but not too unhealthy.
