OMG, I need to vent! I just spoke with a good friend who is co-hosting a block party today in her neighborhood near mine. They are expecting about 100 people, bringing foods of every description including tons of desserts!!! She wanted to know if I was coming and I said No, because I'm finishing up a DietBet and wouldn't be able to eat any of it. Her response was to say, "Oh come on! Use a little self-control! It will be fun!" I had to bite my tongue to keep from saying the obvious... NOT coming IS using my self-control! Family and friends may love us, but they're not always very supportive!

I set a goal to be under 200 lbs by my 40th birthday and that did not happen. I recently had surgery and am feeling like a new and determined person now. If I could lose 50 pounds, that would be life changing for me and my family.

I started with steady and some what quick weight loss at the beginning of this challenge. Now, things are slowing down on the scale, but I'm starting to notice the difference in my clothes. My jeans are getting annoying because I'm constantly having to pull them up. I also hit my highest numbers of steps at just over 13K. Usually I average 8K, but I jog/ran this morning and walked on my lunch break around my work building. I'm looking forward to seeing more changes. How is everyone else doing?
- Posting and engaging keeps me accoubtable. If it's out of sight, out of mind. I forget and slack.
Posting this one because daaaang it was delicious! Tomato basil frittata. 80 calories for 1. Ingredients include tomato, basil, cauliflower, zucchini and mozzarella. Walmart. Veggies Made Great.
- I keep forgetting to take a photo before I eat it, but I have a Veggies Made Great muffin every morning for breakfast. It's an easy way to ensure I get some kind of vegetable in for each meal. It's small but so good! Their official site also offers a $1.50 cash back rebate.

- Taking steps toward the nutrition challenge this week by starting off with some hearty homemade soup!! tomatoes, fresh spinach, and fresh arugula. Also accompanied by a side salad with carrots, onion, tomatoes and cucumber!
How'd everyone's weekend go? It was successful on my end, except I didn't get in as long of a jog/walk on Sunday due to a busy schedule. Today might be similar with my kiddos having choir practice, schooling, and then work. I'm planning on at least walking the treadmill, if I can squeeze it in. This next week will also be a challenge with family birthday celebrations sprinkled in throughout the week. I'm also focusing on more water intake because I wasn't so great about it the last two days, and I definitely feel it!

- I saved this a year ago to motivate myself. It has now been one year and I am down 162 lbs. So glad I stayed consistent and put my health first! Excited to keep showing up for myself! Let's do this!
- For those who love a good soup, I made this delicious hamburger soup from Salt and Lavender (site) to make for lunch during the week. I used ground turkey instead of the beef, cut back on the amount of potatoes and I added diced carrots to the veggie mix. Sprinkled with a little cheese. It is so good! Photo is for the recipe as listed.
