I promised a few weight loss blogs and this morning, I am holding myself to it. This week was like most others, full of ups and downs. I failed to plan out the week, failed to pack my bag of snacks and meals, and found myself with too many trips to the cafeteria at work. They have a fantastic cafeteria where I work, full of healthy and not so healthy choices. A fresh pizza being taken out of the oven with a plethora of yummy toppings yielded my reach for the salad bar more than one time this week. An early day without pizza lead me to the country store for a slice of pizza on the way home. I love pizza. I could live on pizza and ice cream.
Having pizza for lunch pretty much zaps out my points and allows for fruits and veggies the remainder of the evening. I did acknowledge the points calculator and got a little creative with dinners this week. I balanced out my slices of pizza with roasted vegetables for dinner. I love broccoli, cauliflower, anything smothered in garlic and roasted in the oven until it begins to blacken. You can eat almost a whole bowl for virtually no points. I baked our chicken and other meats and actually weighed my portion. I filled my plate with about ¼ meat and the rest roasted veggies. Yum. Satisfying. Point friendly.
The key to weight loss is really about balance. Be aware. Admit and log what you really eat; bites, licks and tastes included. I believe the yard work and stacking wood helped; but I managed a 2.0 lb loss this week. Hooray! I’ve moved another twenty stones to the LOSS jar and the LOSE jar is actually showing some space in it. May the movement be with you this week too! J
