The scale was down today, though tomorrow is my offical weighin day. Just wanted to post it today though. :) I woke up happy today, and I just feel good. Just goes to show what eating right can do for you in such a short period of time. Really need to add in some planned exercise, but I have a plan for next week, lets see if I can accomplish it!

Yesterday was good: I stuck to my planned food, and even ate less snacks than I had accounted for. Just wasn't hungry and I wasn't going to push food if I just didn't want it. Veggies are filling, and starting off with a high protien and fiber breakfast really helps I think. I put chicken in my crockpot at lunch and it turned out fabulously like it always does. It's a go to recipe for me, so once a week I make it, then I have left over chicken for salad and soups and such the rest of the week. The Picture below is of my dinner last night: In addition to the chicken, we had potatoes and green beans in a parmesan butter sauce, roasted cauliflower with a sprinkle of cheese, and a tomato basil salad with a roasted pepper, ginger, soy dressings.

Plans for today: Plan out weekend meals, grocery shopping after work, enjoy spending time with my family. Try to get some kind of exercise in, even if it's yard work! Oh and I have a recipe for baked Tuna cakes I want to try this weekend. I already added the recipe to my cookbook and I think I'll be able to have 2-3 of the cakes as part of my meal. So very excited about that, also my 8yr old will be able to help mix and make this dish. Very excited about that, she really enjoys helping me cook, but it's hard during the week to include her because she's usually has to finish her reading and work on her spelling words while I'm cooking.

Anywho, hope everyone has a very Happy Friday, and a wonderful weekend!!
