Day 48 Weekly Weigh In...

Ok so on Wed. I was lamenting my lack of tracking my calories & how I didn't think February was going to be much of a stellar month, well that was BEFORE I stepped on the scale this morning & saw 266 lbs!!!!! Yep, that's right, that's two pounds down for this week!!

I was so excited to see that loss, especially after last weeks plateau, which really wasn't so much a plateau as a binge the Friday before Sunday's weigh in. Needless to say I was very excited to see a loss this morning AND guess what else? That means that I am only THREE lbs away from my first "after" picture! Like my weight loss idol Tiffany, I am going to post an after picture for every 20 lbs that I lose up until 200 lbs (after that I'll post one every 10 lbs).

Since I am so close to that 20 lb picture I have decided that this week my goal is to lose those 3 lbs so that next Sunday I can post my first official "after" picture!! I can do it, I mean 3 lbs is doable right?

Today I also wanted to share one of my new lunch fav's. It's a ham sandwich on a bolillo roll (roll from Walmart bakery section) and it is soo delish! Here it is in all its glory:

Bolillo Roll 170 calories

Walmart Deli Sliced Cooked Ham (2 slices) 140 calories

Mustard & 1 tsp. of horseradish

Sliced onions & tomatoes (I don't count the calories when I use vegetables as a garnish, or if they are very low in calories, like the cucumbers)

So total calorie count for this lunch was only 310 (with the veggies it would be somewhere around 336 or so). Also, I sprinkled on some Oregano & I think a little salt. Of course if you're watching your salt intake you could totally skip that part. It was very yummy & I had it for lunch on several days. I'm pretty sure that they also had wheat bolillo rolls, but I usually prefer white, but I'm sure the wheat is pretty good too if you prefer wheat.

And lastly I will leave you with a picture of me & my beautiful baby girl. This was the day she was presented an award from the mayor for writing a story about what she liked about the town we live in. So proud of her.
