What a Day..

Today, I had my first measurements taken (they do this at the 3 week mark).

To my surprise I have lost a total of 22 1/2 inches (from arms, chest, ribs, waist, hips, inner thighs, and calves).

WOO! That is reason to celebrate right there!!!

But, wait.. there's more!!!! I have lost a total of 8.5 lbs now.

I made the Cauliflower Crust Pizza the other night and it contained cheese, but I used 2% mozzarella.. and boy oh boy... It was so tasty, but I felt guilty eating it... It was so amazing!!!!

The nutritionist said it was just fine that I ate that and it's perfect for the diet. WOO!! Another reason to celebrate!! Doing this program (for life I might add), includes tasty foods that are good for you!!

All you have to do is make healthier choices and it starts with drinking more water, and exercising.

Incorporate more veggies, and salads, and high proteins.

I'm motivated and I hope to stay this way... it's one day at a time..

The key is this:

• Stay focused... Focus on the foods you CAN have. 
• Stay committed... Stick to the healthy regiment. Drinking water, daily exercise, and healthy choices.. no matter what!! 
• Stay strong.... If you do have to eat out, know what you will order BEFORE  you get to the restaurant!!! That is definitely helping me!!!

I'm nervous about Thanksgiving because we are supposed to go out of town to visit family. I won't be in my kitchen with my tools, so maybe i need to prepare my foods in advance, so they are ready the day before we leave...

I can't believe how close we are to the holidays......
