Sunday Weigh In
YESSSS! Salads and I are back together after an 8 week hiatus. I eat a salad every day in the afternoon as a snack. Soft red and green leaf lettuce is wonderful and I can eat more than a cup (stuffed). The soft parts of romaine do well too. I chew well and use my homemade dressing (1/3 cup EVOO, 2/3 cup fresh lemon juice, 1/2 tsp salt and 2 tsp sugar)
Today I finally tried cooked kale. It was much heavier than the lettuce, but still it tasted good, and I was able to eat nearly 1/2 cup.
The best part of eating letltuce is that my gut really missed it. Seems as if greens are what make me "regular," if ya know what I mean.
I'm adoring salads, been making mine a meal by adding either chicken and drowning it in dressing or steak. :) YUM!!!!

I, being a confirmed optimist, planted cauli, broccoli, cabbage, brussel spts, and spring onions in the garden, as well as 4 kinds of lettuce, swiss chard, and beets. Smile, it's so much easier to clean up messes in the garden than on the computer, donchano?

This week 126.8
Total loss 4.4
Wow, that is a lot but it probably isn't real accurate because I, well, let's just say I feel pretty cleaned out today. I will probably show a gain next week because of it and also because I am having surgery on Friday and will probably have some fluid gain from that as well so I'm going to enjoy this loss while I have it.

Maintaining but still want to loose another 8 lbs. Need to get back on the band wagon when I return from my trip. I have been cleared to resume exercising when I return so hopefully my back will cooperate and let me get to my goal plus a little more for bounce back.
Good luck next week everyone! I'll be back in time to weigh in

Just take it easy when you first start back to exercising.

My waist went down 3/4" though so I guess my body is adjusting. I can't wait to get these 18 lbs off to get to my 1st goal! It seems these last lbs are all from my abdomen...it makes it so hard to find clothes that fit right :(
