Day 1

What I think I may do is commit to blog 2-3 times a week. That way I won't feel like I'm slacking, again, if I don't make it on every day!

Here's how today went in a snap shot:

This gives you a good idea of my starting point. Full disclosure I weigh around 400 lbs. right now. My scale says 400.2 but the limit is 400 so I won't know until a few weeks in what my weight is actually. That is another reason why I'm waiting until into July to join Weight Watchers - I want my weight loss to be accurately reflected. When I was married last June I was around 345-350. I had to take a second to pause there. It's really tough seeing that number all typed out in front of me. While I know its just a number, I would be kidding myself if that number isn't a reflection of how its been this last year. Ok. Going to try to put that in the past and go over how well today went!

1. I actually ate breakfast. It has been awhile. You can check out my food diary again at: What did Trisha eat? where you'll see I had some greek yogurt and blackberries.

2. I snacked through out the day! Yesterday a Luna bar (lemon zest is my fave), peanut butter and carrots, and an slightly sweet black ice tea held me over. Ok maybe not the iced tea...I just love iced tea.

3. I cooked/baked in the morning before work. I work at 2:30pm currently and it can be tough planning out meals. Before work I made kale chips to go along with my sandwich for lunch:

And they were not so tasty. I don't think I used enough olive oil and I think 
they needed to bake for at least a few more minutes. I will attempt again soon (since I have so much kale)!

And then I made up an old favorite: Stuffed Pepperoni and Hummus chicken breast. That was delicious and always is:

This is an older photo from when I made it before - yesterday I used reduced fat 

provolone instead of cheddar. Comment below for the recipe!

I also made garlic mashed cauliflower! Unfortunately, I didn't take a picture but its a pretty simple dish. I should have used a food processor though and maybe some milk to make it a creamier consistency.

Overall, it was a pretty awesome day! My director at work sent out an e-mail to the department announcing my new position in coding and I walked into the office to lots of congratulations so it couldn't have been a bad day if it tried. 

Now I must go, it's an early morning tomorrow full of responsibilities be eat healthy eating or Auntie! Fill you in later! Good night :-)
