Still Going Strong

So, I'm nearly 14 days in, and feeling pretty good.  I can see a change in my body shape, mostly my belly.. Which is a great feeling, but I'm starting to grow bored of the meals I'm making.  So, I've been researching the threads on 3fatchicks.com for variations and variety.  Thus far, my results have been so so.. I made sliders with portabella mushrooms used as buns, those were FANTASTIC.  I made seafood patties, but they weren't so hot.. They tasted yummy but there was nothing to hold them together and they seemed pretty wet before crisping them in OO..  I also gave zucchini chips a whirl.. I have no idea what I did wrong with those, but they were either too soggy or burnt to a crisp.. Needless to say I was more than disappointed as I'm craving something crunchy and this didn't cure that need as I'd hoped.  I've read a lot of marvelous reviews on cauliflower popcorn, perhaps I'll give them a whirl. 
No matter what, I know I can stick to this, even if I have to live with a boaring variety of meal choices.

And we're off

Last Wednesday, February 15th, I finally jumped back on the weight loss wagon.. I've gotta admit, it's been difficult, but I did manage to stay 100% on protocol and experience and amazing week of weight loss, 10.5 pounds gone forever!! I've come to the conclusion, all obstacles are in my mind, and I have the power to squish them at will.  I just hope my goals can be met and I will be able to feel a sense of pride within myself!

I'm on my way

So I talked before about my weight loss goals and the fact that I knew I needed a change.  Wednesday, February 15, I began that change.  I have committed myself to the Ideal Protein weight loss program, again.  It's a rigid and difficult  program, but with a little concentration and effort, I know that I can be successful.  I was able to take a photo of my scale weight.. Wasn't please with it at all.  But then again, this is all about changing the number I saw.  I have yet to get the body image photo, that will have to be done with the assistance of my hubby, whom I have seen very little of lately..
Wish me luck on this journey.. Lord knows I'll need it!!
