I normally weigh myself several times a week to make sure I'm on the right track. I was 174.8 when I weighed myself this morning. That made me happy, because I had a little bit of an off day yesterday. On weigh-in days, if I see a loss, I tend to "treat" myself to something I wouldn't normally have, which I did yesterday. That way I still have a whole week to be good and make up for it. After picking the girls up from school we went to the mall so they could burn off some energy at the play area. I got a meal from the food court....french fries (yuck and yum at the same time!), and a veggie sandwich, but the veggies were sauteed in oil, so it wasn't really low in calories.
A smoothie is sounding wonderful right now, so off I go to make one!
Update: I am making Moroccan Lentil and Kale Stew. It is on the stove cooking right now, and looks so yummy! Can't wait for dinner!
Update: Just had my dinner...and the stew was soooo good! Next time I will add even more carrots and kale. The recipe is from the book "150 Vegan Favorites". The picture isn't the greatest because it was taken with my
