I Must Be Shrinking

My jeans are looser. How much looser you might ask? Loose enough that I can now put them in the dryer! Yee haw! I'm just feeling better in general. I have a lot more confidence and it's so nice. Tomorrow is Weighs-Day and I'm feeling pretty good about it. Don't worry- I'm not actually hoping for another 4 pound + loss but I am hoping for enough to make my first 10 pounds. That would be so amazing! Three weeks, 10 pounds and I'm not even on some crazy Hollywood diet. This woman has been E-A-T-I-N-G!!!! Oh yes, she has.

So, weigh-in tomorrow! Happy Eating!

Weekly Recipe

Baked Salmon ala Amazing

1-lb fillet of salmon, fresh
2-3TB olive oil
sea salt
seasoning of choice

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Cut salmon into desired number of servings. I cut my 1-lb fillet into 3 servings. Rub with olive oil and then rub seasoning into the fish, on both sdes. Season with sea salt and bake for 10-15 minutes, depending on thickness of fillet.

*Tip for cooking fish. Measure the thickest part of the fillet and bake at 450 degrees for 10 minutes for every inch of thickness. So, if it's 1/2" thick it would be 5 minutes. For 1 1/2" (which is what mine was), bake for 15 minutes. It will cook the perfect length of time and come out juicy and flake easily.

Kendy's Top Ten Tools for Success

10. Tracking, tracking, tracking! You have to track your points, even when you've been *gasp* bad! Most of the time you will find you weren't as bad as you thought. It's worth it to track every point!

9. Chicken. Yes, please! You can literally make chicken a million different ways! Staple!

8. Flavored, carbonated water! I'll let you in on a little secret- Target's brand makes a Cherry Limeade version and if you like Cherry Limeade, you'll love this point-free beverage.

7. Truvia. A thousand times better than sucralose or aspartame based products. Sweet, not chemically. It's even granulated like sugar. I use it on grapefruit nearly every morning.

6. Water. Lime water, to be exact. I fill a pitcher with filtered water and throw in half of a lime that has been quartered about half-way through the flesh. Yummy, refreshing, and cold.

5. Planning. So important for this program to plan your day. Yes, there may be surprises, but if you plan you know how many points things are going to cost you and you can reevaluate accordingly. Like when that hunk you've been drooling over for months asks you out to lunch. Stay on track!

4. Remember, it's a marathon. Not a sprint. It's going to take a lot of hard work, effort, and dedication to make it. But you have to make up your mind that this is your time to shine!

3. You have to allow yourself treats once in a while (just track!). Like a brownie here. A cookie there. It won't hurt to indulge now and then. Just be sure to keep tracking!

2. Vegetables- they're mostly free and so filling. Find some happy veggie recipes online and try new stuff. Like roasting broccoli with a little cajun seasoning. Or make butternut squash fries instead of real ones.

1. Fruit is free!!! All fresh fruit is now free on the new plan! I have eaten a grapefruit for breakfast nearly every single day. I also snack on fruit all the time. It's so much better than cookies or candy bars or chips because you're truly full and you're not left wanting more. You're simply satisfied!
