The Cabbage Lasagna was a big hit...

Hello my Friends,

Well I loved the cabbage lasagna I made last night so much I had some for breakfast this morning with a Carb Chopper wheat tortilla w/cheese.

I couldn't resist this picture;

Peaches

My dogs are usually not allowed on the furniture. Sometimes I let her jump on the bed and when hubby came home this morning from working the night shift at the FD they both were asleep when I got out of the shower.

I am still holding at the same weight, 148. It does fluctuate 2 lbs up and down. I have come to realize that's normal for us women. You know - hormones, that time of the month and just cause we are female. LOL

You know every time I see those before and after pictures of me, I can't believe that's the same person. Boy did I love to eat! I still do - just now I know that the more you shove in your mouth - it does not make you feel any better.

I was very strict and dedicated on my eating during the time I was losing. I never cheated and never ate past 7-7:30pm every night. I never ate carbs with dinner and still don't except for the occasional coconut bread  or almond flour stuff now. It did take me 1 year to lose 80lbs. I did it slowly and I think it really helped my skin to shrink back too.

I only cheated once in a great while with 1-2 bites of 1 thing that I loved when I was out or at a party or function. I know Jorge says to drink 2 glasses of red wine a night, but that is not gonna help you lose weight. You need to save that for those once a week things and then only have 1 glass. Never any sweet wines like I used to.

Once you reach your goal like I have now, remember to NEVER go back to the way we ate before. That's all we have to remember. It's that simple. This way of eating has worked so well for me I will never eat any other way again.

My lunch today:

Tuna, mayo, 1/2 avocado cut up, feta cheese, 1 celery stalk cut up, some jalapeno stuffed olives cut up and baby spinach and a handful of croutons. It was very good. After, I had the last 2 gingerbread-almond flour cookies that were left.

After 2:00 hubby and I went to run some errands, post office, then bank, then we went to a few places to look for a new lawn mower. We used to have an old one but sold it at the last yard sale. So now we fired the gardener. He missed 2 weeks in a row and we keep having problems with them cause they are all scared of my 2 dogs.

COME ON!! Do these look vicious to you???
So now I have to trim, pull cut, blah, blah, blah. Hubby thinks he has the easy part of mowing and edging - OK whatever!!

We wound up getting a electric one at Home Depot. While we were out I got the munchies and ate 2 squares of 86% chocolate I had in my purse. Good thing I always keep it there. By keeping the baggie of nuts and dark 86% chocolate in my purse - it really keeps me from cheating or even thinking about cheating. So do it girls, it will save you. I promise.

So guess what my dinner was?

A spinach salad w/feta cheese and bacon bits and some more cabbage lasagna.
Hubby finally tasted it and I am quoting him right now... He said it is OFF THE HOOK!!! He loved and had 2 pieces and said he would of had 3 but didn't want to look like a pig. ha-ha. He said the guys at the FD would even love it. So I guess that's saying something, if they will eat it.


So - that's it for now. Please let me know if you have any questions or need any kind of help. That's what I am here for. 


Dawn M, you are kicking Ass, are you at least taking names??? You go girl!!

My thought for the day:

A Giving Person

A pessimist, they say, sees a glass of water as being half-empty; an optimist sees the same glass as half-full. But a giving person sees a glass of water and starts looking for someone who might be thirsty.

Keep on BFC ' n  :-)
