It all adds up: Week 8

I lost five pounds this week.

Still doing mostly the same stuff. I'm eating a little more fish. I've noticed that restricting my meat intake is having a positive impact on my weight loss. I'm also trying to not eat red meat more than once a week.

Since my efforts are focused on changing how I eat long-term (lifestyle change), I've been trying to eat "new" foods that are supposed to be healthy. This week, I'm thinking of trying something called
quinoa .

It is a whole grain and complete protein that can be used to replace starches like potatoes, rice, and pasta (think it can be bought in pasta form). It can be used in a lot of ways, so I look forward to experimenting.


I think I'll go eat breakfast, now. I'm hungry.

Hey, while you're here, why not stop by my caption contest and join in on the fun! :) (There are other contests to enter, too. Just click the links beneath the picture I've posted.)

Because, you know when you are ordering in a restaurant and trying to be "good," all you want is everything you aren't supposed to have.

It is all one, ginormous mind game.

I've been winning the battle, most days.

The weight loss does rock! :)

I bet you are just up and blow away soon.

A good wind should blow me away in a little over a year from now.

I will enjoy every bit of it, too. :)
