Do the "skinny" Girl ROCK!

I changed the words of the song...and I'm so freakin excited.  I lost 1.5lbs this week!!!!!!! So that takes me down to 217.5.  Looking at goals, I technically have 7.5 to go to June 1st (unreasonable, I think) and 17.5 to Ireland (5 weeks from now, also unreasonable) but I'm not really that worried about it!!!  I'm just excited I keep losing.  I'm sure my success this week had alot to do with my workout step up.  confession: I skipped Aerobics again last night :(  I couldn't leave my squishy baby...she is so freaking cute!!!  I did run/walk 2 miles so that was good :)  After my killer run with La on Saturday...I have really stepped up my nightly run/walk.  I don't want to be as whimpy as I was last Saturday...this Saturday when she kills me again!  :)  I'm so happy to have her helping to motivate me, obviously it is paying off!!!  WOOT!

This is so different from EVERY other way I've ever lived my adult life.  I have always ALWAYS ALWAYS been obsessed with dieting and my weight.  I'm sure that is why I'm in the predicament I'm in now...However, this time is totally different.  I am really enjoying this new lifestyle.  I love eating well and not feeling stuffed and gross.  I LOVE LOVE LOVE my green monster.  I eat everything I really love to eat, just in moderation.  I have started to really think about portion control and noticing when I'm full.  I have also added exercise to my daily routine.  I can't say that this is my favorite part but I do it b/c I feel good afterwards and I KNOW this is what is making my weight loss possible. 

Breakfast today was my normal Wednesday treat...Dunkin Coffee with a flatbread egg white sandwich :)  YUM!  Wednesday is odd b/c I spend the day traveling to all of our buildings for Healthbeat so I treat myself to a yummy bfast.  Then for lunch today, Grace and I are going to a new Indian restaurant called Cafe Spice.  I'm excited to try it.  It is a buffet which I normally say is a BAD IDEA but with Indian food, I know I'll stop when I'm full because it is SO spicy :)  I'll have the tums ready.

Tonight I'm gonna make my Chicken Marinara...super simple.  I just take 1lb of chicken breast with a can of crushed tomatoes some motz cheese and breadcrumbs and throw it together, bake at 350 for 40 minutes and voila!  I usually roast some potatoes to go with it and we'll have a salad :)  I may even throw some spinach in it tonight.

Tonight is a walking night with the ladies in my neighborhood...Fun Fun!
