Slogging along...

Thursday night and happy to see Friday ahead. Its been a loonnggg week at work. Pretty good food week. I have settled into a diet that includes lots of veggies, fruits, some lean protein and a VERY small amount of whole grain carbs, about 1600 calories a day. I feel good, but it is slow going with the scale. I need to amp up my water intake and up my workouts as well, I guess. Its funny how much harder going the weight loss has been this time around.

Delights of Summer

This time of year I am perfectly happy to make a meal of half a spaghetti squash and a handful of cherry tomatoes. Got home from the gym, and went out in the backyard with hubby to harvest. Green beans, tomatoes, two cucumbers, a spaghetti squash and a couple of stray strawberries. Dinner!

I have found that I really do feel a lot better limiting carbs to just a bit of whole grains, so the fresh veggies really help keep me on track. Looking out into my backyard at my garden bounty makes me smile.
