    Food Challenge
    Part 2

    This is my favorite recipe from skinnytaste.com. Here is the link
    http://www.skinnytaste.com/2011/08/chicken-rollatini-stuffed-with-zucchini.html

    I also add spinich in the mix, my family loves it! I also add spinich and mushrooms to almost everything I cook. Speghetti, Mexican food, Portabella Pizza's just about anything.

    I am lucky because my family loves veggies and we have a home grown Garden so we have a ton of veggies on hand everyday.

    Took me FOREVER to find my glitch-- was even questioning the original numbers! But, then I saw that I was counting my daily fruit and veggie servings for 7 instead of 5. Oops! All taken care of now!
    Thanks!

I was so nervous getting on the scale this morning, with the stress of work and adjusting I didn't know if I would lose this week.

    Emotional challenege:
    I helped come up with this challenge and I still had to think all week about my answer.
    How will my life change? I will feel more confidenet in my clothes, I can wear any clothes that I like, not just ones that hide the poochy tummy I had. I love that I have never really looked my age, and now that I've lost the weight that I wanted (only 2 lbs to my goal), and started to focus more on strength training, it's only getting better!!!

    It has been a pretty good day, with the exception that I had a walk planned and it rained all day! I did some at home exercising instead. I don't expect to see anything at tomorrows weigh in, TOM is on its way and I always bloat right before.

    Hope it was a great day for everyone else!

    Hey ladies. I'm sorry I'm not posting as often as I would like, but I am still having some issues with my computer...Annoying thing. Anyway, I ended up with 24 of the 28 points for this week. I had a difficult time getting in those fruits everyday! I am looking forward to the weigh in for a change. And even if the scale doesn't show a change, I can see one! I have a (ahem) roll on my right side that is now a slight indentation. :-) Yay for progress! You guys rock.

    I understand having computer issues and logging in! Fruits & veggies are tough to get in! But I try and have both at every meal, then I'm usually "safe". I love your progress! And yes WE rock! (that includes YOU too). Thanks for your post; just what I needed to read... :wink:

    Leaving your baby at daycare the first time is soooo tough! Bring tissues in the car & if you wear makeup, bring supplies for touch up; when I left my son, I cried more than he did (I don't think he really noticed I left; he was having fun). A tough rite of passage momma but you'll make it! :heart:
