So, I've gone down to 234. That's 2 lbs! I know it's not water weight that I've lost, because I consumed more water than I have. So...I'm proud the fact that it's because I'm eating healthier.
I found a diabetic cookbook, so I'm using recipes from that. I found some great ones - Spinach Souffle, Chicken Cordon Bleu, and Turkey Burgers top the list. And my kids LOVE these recipes too - everyone wins...like a smiling contest...
We had the Chicken Cordon Bleu last night - it was SO TASTY! And only 192 calories per serving. I really hate measuring my food like I'm some kind of scientist (and those of you who know me know that math, science, and social studies are NOT my strong suits), but if it's what I have to do, I guess it's what I have to do.
