So the eating plan has been working out great so far. The enchiladas turned into tacos the other night because I had SO much food to eat I couldn't roll it up! They were whole wheat tortillas with 6 oz of chicken, 1/2 cup of black beans, 1/2 cup of corn, 1/2 cup of spinach, and some homemade salsa. DELICIOUS!
Today, I just polished off some spicy baked salmon with a dill lemon remoulade (made with ff sour cream of course!) and sauteed spinach. It was very tasty indeed. I'm just gonna miss being able to cook like this for lunch during the school week once I go back on Monday. But that's ok because I made an AWESOME salad for lunch yesterday. It would be something easy to prepare to take to school. Two cups of chopped raw spinach, 1/2 cup of black beans, 1/2 cup of corn, 3 oz of baked chicken, and then topped it off with homemade salsa! It was a great use of leftovers from the enchilada/taco meal! (This always makes me happy because I can't stand wasting food--which is probably why I'm in the position I'm in currently.)
Unfortunately, I did cheat this week. I got on the SCALE! I know, I know...I said I was gonna wait until Saturday so I didn't get discouraged....and now I will. The scale was NOT nice to me. Not that I've been doing something wrong, just the weight is "falling off" a lot slower than I had hoped. And in the back of my mind I knew that would happen. So it's ok....eh, I guess. Either way, I am still plugging away at this eating right thing, and I have been feeling better lately!
In fantasy land, I'm just imagining that when I get on the scale Saturday AM it will tell me that I've lost 30 lbs this week. WOULDN'T THAT BE AWESOME! But if it were that easy I would just do this once a month and eat cake for the rest of the month. MMM....cake!
