Good Morning Team!

We’re in the final stretch. My goal is 207 this morning I weighed in at 212 so I’m not sure how realistic my goal is but definitely giving 100% all week!

I will say that’s one thing about be being on this weightloss journey FOREVER is that I have really become aware of how much my eating affects my weight. Not even calorie wise but by portions & the types of food. I guess for some that type of intuition is a no brainer but for someone like me who’s been overweight more of your life than not we’ve never really payed much attention to how much we eat & how food makes me feel other than happy and comforted.

If we had that understanding from the beginning chances are we wouldn’t be in the predicament we’re in now. I know we’re all different in our journeys but we all share the same reasonings when we get right down to it. So with that being said the word that I’m hoping helps you all get through this final week successfully is CAUTIOUS. Be cautious if the foods you’re fueling your body with because one thing we do know is what not to fuel ourselves with!

Also look at my COLORFUL salad from yesterday. Dino nuggets are gourmet around here, great easy protein!

3oz just barely lightly breaded chicken nuggets, 1 cup green beans, 1-1/2 cup hashbrowns. With sautéed onions and mushrooms. 315 calories, 22g protein and 4 WW points.

Delicious and easy chicken fajitas in a sheet pan I’ll share you my recipe link here: https://youtu.be/mVbuYy4sxQk?si=eNK2Yn5xFQW1nt4e

Daughter asked for white chicken chili for lunch today and so she can bring leftovers back to her dorm, so that’s what’s for Easter. 390 calories, 33g protein and 3 WW points. This is a zero WW point soup so the points come from the tortilla rounds.

I’ve been terrible about taking food pics this game. So here is my half eaten dinner: tenderloin on the grill, griller potatoes and beets. 480 calories, 26g protein and 3 WW points.

This is not my picture, but one from their Facebook page. By the time I remembered to take my picture, my salad was snarfed down since we didn’t get lunch until 3pm. Hubby, son and I went to the Twin Cities Auto show in Minneapolis today. On our way back to Wisconsin, we stopped in Hudson at Old Southern Smokehouse and I got the Southern Garden salad. It’s so yummy. I only used about 1tbsp of the ranch dressing.

I forgot to post my lunch from yesterday. I had Chipotle. I went with the new chipotle honey chicken. I always do 1/2 serving white rice, double fajita veggies, beans, double romaine, green tomatillo salsa and fresh salsa. I had half for lunch yesterday for about 300 calories and 2 WW points. This is so filling for me so it’s two meals vs one.

Today has been a day. Wasn't able to eat breakfast or lunch so I got McDonald's on the way home. Definitely not the healthiest thing to eat but at least I'm still in my calorie count for the day

Breakfast of champions, a Built Cookie Dough Chunk Puff bar (thanks Franny). I was struggling to get out of bed this morning, so had this at work with my morning coffee.
