Yesterday went well. I have pretty much stopped craving sugar. I miss the full feeling I get from bread, so I am working whole wheat into my meals for the day. There are some really good sandwich rounds that have only 100 calories per serving so I can have bread with my egg salad. Also I got some turkey sausage crumbles and whole wheat tortillas for a breakfast burrito that is very good. The tortillas are very thin and good. I scramble 2 eggs (or 4 egg whites) with olive oil, scattered with a few of the turkey sausage crumbles and roll it into the tortilla. It's good, healthy, and filling for breakfast.
I made a big pot of veggie soup that turned out really good. I started with chicken tenders and cooked them. Then I added to the broth tomato puree (Charlene doesn't like tomato chunks), fresh carrots, onions, and potatoes (only a few because my daughter likes them. I ate around them), frozen okra, peas (any kind), and green beans. Then I seasoned to taste with salt, pepper, red pepper, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder. I left the tenders whole so that I could get a tender in each serving and cut it with my spoon as I ate. It was delicious! Well the beauty of the soup is it's still delicious because it's in the fridge!
I am down 4 lbs and very happy. I will not post my begining weight, but I will post a picture soon. I haven't really explored blogspot to know how everything works here. So far I only have one follower and she knows how I look so it hasn't been a problem as of yet :)
Have a great Sunday and I will be back soon.
Linda - I am following you but it doesn't show up on here. Odd. I wish you the best in your pursuit. Changing a lifestyle is never easy but you are absolutely correct that having accountability can be crucial in the journey. I'll look forward to reading about your progress and cheering you on as you reflect on your feelings and accomplishments. I am watching you! :o) You're off to a great start! ~Carol
