It was nice to hear some "Yah! I am down" or "Wow, it was less than I thought" but for the most of us we were like, "Oh crap!". Well just remember that the number is on the scale is only a measurement tool. Use it only for this reason. With this in mind I picked up 3 other "tools" tonight. A tape measure, camera and note pad. I took my measurements, got my daughter to take my "before" pictures and wrote down everything that I ate, recorded my work out and wrote down how I felt. This isn't a "Dear Diary" note pad. It took me about 10 minutes to get it all done. I may get the courage to post my pics but not yet. I am going to take them weekly.
On the very first page in my journal I also wrote down my long term goals. I will share them:
- Lose 40lbs by my birthday which is July 15, 2012. 24 weeks....1.67 lbs per week

I can say I was one of the ones that said "oh crap" - after losing 60 lbs on the last BL (yes, this program works, believe me!!) I, due to sheer laziness and bad choices in eating habits, gained 30 of it back!! - BUT, its not to late to salvage.....this is just the kick in the pants we all need....I am so excited and wish each and every one of you, truly, good luck in this journey....and awesome soup receipe Satcey....I too have made a variation of this...very yummy, very filling, and no guilt!! - taking pics is also a great idea...i have some from last time and WOW, what a shocker!! best to all my loser buddies....
ReplyDeleteI have "slimmed" the original recipe and it still tastes
ReplyDeletedee-licious! I am going to try less Jack cheese and non-fat cottage cheese and see if it is still as good. I didn't have chilies this a.m. when I made it so I added frozen spinach.
Crustless Quiche

Beat the egg whites until relatively bubbly/fluffy and add the rest of the ingredients. Greased pan/pie plate and bake at 400 degrees for about 20 min. Time may vary as my oven has 2 temp only - 250 and broil... Let cool for about 10min. Good hot or cold.
That recipe sounds very good Marilyn. Thank you for sharing! I have to try out new ideas soon. Getting bored of scrambled eggs!
