Made Thai Larb with butter lettuce tonight. Delicious

I go at 5AM with my hubby 3 days a week. It helps to organize yourself the night before. Set out gym wear, water bottle, music, gym card plus what you will wear to work, and breakfast and lunch. We like that the gym is less crowded and it gives us a good start to the day. After work never worked for us due to schedules.

http://www.cookincanuck.com/2015/01/hearty-mushroom-farro-ginger-soup-recipe/ is really tasty and has several of your ingredients. Use fresh not dry ginger and portabella mushrooms.

I weigh every morning. It keeps me on track.

Bought size 10 dress pants and tightened my Fitbit another notch

I use these boxes https://www.amazon.com/Smart-Portables-Container-Configurable-Compartments/dp/B017AJS63G/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1472220868&sr=8-5&keywords=plastic+lunch+box to pack my lunch after dinner each night. I put salad in the big portion and the smaller portions hold 100 gms of chicken, cottage cheese etc and…

I avoided the scale for a long time. I finally stepped on and do so every day to keep myself honest. I've lost 22 lbs since April. You can do it!

I have hit a plateau but I am not upset about it. I am keeping up with my logging and exercise in stead of quitting.

Grade school. I always dreaded the weight and height screenings. I was always at least 20lbs more than all of the other children.

I had to tighten the ankle straps on some sandals I had not worn since March!

Hit my second 10 pound loss. Now to take on the next 10!

Shopped my closet and am wearing a dress today that has not fit for at least 2 years.

I use these for lunches. I pack salad, fruit and a protein. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MWBJRUO/ref=sxr_rr_xsim1?pf_rd_t=301&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_p=2286650982&pf_rd_i=plastic+food+containers&pf_rd_r=FYQBDF46TX4NAD20J9AC&pf_rd_s=desktop-rhs-carousels&ie=UTF8&qid=1469804116&sr=1

Husband and I are doing it together so he is my support. We have both lost 17 lbs and only one person has mentioned it but that does not bother me. It feels great to be able to wear shorts this summer!

Centrum, calcium citrate and flax seed oil with breakfast

My fitbit needed to be tightened a notch and my dear friend informed me that my black dress pants need to go in the do not wear pile-too baggy

I am able to comfortably cross my legs and my belt needed tightening a notch this morning.

Every morning. It keeps me aware of progress but I do not beat myself up for the normal daily fluctuations.

Have your workout gear lined up as well as your clothes for the day. I get up at 4:45 for the gym 3 days a week and this really helps keep me on track

This is a good site http://inspiralized.com/recipes/

I have also been gifted with larger thighs. I always take the steps when ever I can. It helped tone them up in conjunction with weight loss.

Love the Excel spreadsheet! Is that off of a website? We plan our weeks meal before shopping. This week we are having grilled pork loin kabobs with kale, Chicken picatta with salad, Mediterranean tilapia with roasted cauliflower, vegetarian bimbipbap. Lunches are salad, protein and this week cantelope

Fish tacos with black beans Chicken picatta and salad Turkey burger on a sandwich thin with sautéed mushrooms and salad On Pinterest look at the recipe and see if it fits your idea of healthy. That's how I have found a ton or vegetarian recipes since my daughter is a vegetarian

Take the steps every time.

Mine is coming today. can't wait to give a try!

Spinach salad with avocado, yogurt and a clementine

This has been inspiring. I have been in a real lunch rut so I will give this a try

My size medium tee shirt fits and is not tight!!

My shorts no longer hug my thighs. They flap in the breeze on my daily walk
