More of me gone!

On April 1st I decided it
was time to try and get
a bit of weight off..
by eating healthier.

As of today, I am 10# lighter, 
and have lost 2" off my waist!
Woohoo!

We are cooking more healthy,
non-processed foods.
Today's cooking jaunt included:

blueberry muffins

quinoa crusted quiche
I put both of them in the freezer,
to have for breakfast in the future.

We also cooked this:

chicken vegetable soup with rice

That's for dinner tonight!

For lunch we made a great salad,
with mixed greens, almonds,
kidney beans, and blueberries.

We are enjoying these new meals!

  2. YUMMMMMMM!! That food looks great. Post the recipe for that salad it looks fabulous. I assume the quiche has eggs which I no can do or I'd love to try that too. Congrats on your 10#. That's a lot. I know you must feel much better. Keep it up! You'll be a mere shadow of your former self by the time you retire. :-)

  3. No recipe for the salad per se...we just mixed together some salad mix & baby greens. We then topped it with kidney beans, sliced almonds, one sliced egg, and I put blueberries on mine. I mix together olive oil & balsamic vinegar for my dressing..lightly!

    We love salads :)

  6. I think with summer coming, we are all thinking about losing a few pounds. Every five pounds makes such a difference.

    All those meals look wonderful. :)

  7. It's funny how the longer you keep emphasizing the healthy aspect of eating well, the less you want any of that old crappy food. I'm a little ahead of you in time, but have just made a big break thru on a long plateau. It took almost a month to lose four pounds, then another three came off in a week!

    Keep it up. We should all make this our eating program for life.
