I went to a cooking class at Whole Foods with my friend Heather and we learned a couple more meatless recipes. You can see the pictures and recipes here. Quinoa is my new best friend and even my kids are liking it. WINNING! Sorry...was that annoying?
I had an AH-HA moment this week involving watermelon! It feels like I'm learning how to eat all over again and re-training my brain to think like a healthy person.
I was super excited for my weigh in this morning and then TOM decided to rear his ugly head a few days early. It has to be the reason for the slight gain. Hoping for better news next week.
Starting weight: 211.6
Last week: 209 (-2.6 pounds)
This week: 209.8 (+ .8 pounds)
LOSS: -1.8 pounds
Goals for Week Four:
- Drink More Water!
- Avoid Sugar
- Exercise 3 times (figure out the BEST time of day)
- Limit wine to twice a week
- Write in my food journal
