Level 1 - Day 53 (Weigh-In Day)

Time To See What's Shakin' With The Scale!

My mother left three days ago, and we're trying to get back on track after her visit.  We got rid of her leftover sugary treats and carbs in a bag.  Plus, menu selection is a lot easier because I don't have her limitations to consider.

So, when we jumped on the scale this morning we both had our fingers crossed.  And, here's the results.  After gaining 2 pounds last week, my husband didn't gain or lose weight this week.  He stayed the same at 19 pounds, total.

However, I was able to lose one pound, for a total of 13 pounds.  It seems I have more will power than my husband.  Here's the thing ... whenever my mother would get out her treats, he'd usually cave in and have a little with her.  For the record, I'm happy to report that I've been able to stay focused for over a week.

So, the moral of this story is ... stick to the plan because the food is good ... and good for you!

Breakfast - Fruit; then exercised.  Followed by Quinoa and non-fat milk.  Topped with Agave Nectar.

AM Snack - The morning got away from me, so I missed eating my snack.

Lunch - The last of the Lamb and Feta Burgers from Day 51, plus a side salad.

PM Snack - Natural Beef Jerky (1 ounce).

Dinner - Leftover Grilled Chicken with Tuscan Artichoke Pate (from yesterday) and Broccoli Soup (from yesterday).  The addition of sour cream, dolloped on top of the soup, really takes it up a notch.

That's what I love about Suzanne's recipes.  She just seems to know the right little addition, that turns a good meal into a great meal!
