Success in Maintenance starts with good choices during the Honeymoon Period.

It's Friday!!!!!   I'm finally getting pretty good at this not snacking thing but I fear I am eating a little extra at meals because I am so hungry.  I rarely felt hunger when I snacked (usually protein).  I haven't decided which is the best way to go yet.

Lunch      Grilled thigh and leg from KFC and Green beans
Protein:    Syntrax Lemon Tea  23g
Protein:    Syntrax Lemon Tea  23g
Dinner      Tacos

Snack:     100 Calorie Popcorn (98% fat free)

Yay for Friday!!  I'm off out to dinner with DH and will most likely get a chicken salad as I do quite like those and they're extra good in the heat.

If I order a chicken/steak salad I only eat the meat and croutons and the rest just sits there. I just don't enjoy salads anymore and think it is because I am scared to death of dressings and salad with no dressing is...why bother.

Sounds Good!

That sounds like such fun! ENJOY!!!!!!!

I have been feeling like I am starving.  I am so used to having something in my stomach all of the time but I know it was getting out of hand.  The only thing I am still eating is my night time popcorn and that seems to help me go to the bathroom.

Sounds Good!

My Sister-in-law gave us the biggest zucchinis from her garden. I'm going to try and make the zucchini chips from a recipe someone shared on Facebook. So far I have only gotten 1 tomato off of my bush.  I think next year I will just buy one at the farmer's market if I'm hungry for fresh tomato.

Sounds Good!
