Onward fat girl!

Ok, so I haven't been totally perfect in my quest for weight loss. I have, however, been diligent at making a mockery of myself. LOL That said, it's time to change things up and move forward. My Mother-In-Law was in town this past weekend which only meant that we would be eating out more. I really tried to eat well. I even tried my first grilled Mahi-Mahi sandwich in a vain attempt to shy away from a hamburger and ate half my served portion of fries. I did indulge on pizza. But I ate light for the rest of the weekend, even made sure not to finish my dinner at the Rainforest Cafe...I ate half of my grilled chicken sandwich, nibbled on my hubby's yellow pepper/cucumber/raisin slaw and skipped most of my fries. That's a huge change for me.

I took my first step with cooking healthy today and surprisingly, had good results. We had natural chicken sausage with pasta in a broth sauce with broccoli. Added some reduced fat crescent rolls to make the family not completely shy away from dinner. My son was hesitant, but eventually caved and said that he liked it. Hubby had 2 servings and I had 2 myself (they were small servings). I did okay...it felt good to eat light and still feel satisfied...that's always been a challenge.

I'm down from what I was last week, almost a pound. Went to the gym and had a good arm/back/chest cardio work out. I'm ready to go for my walk now!
