I did it!

I did it! Ten down! Now I start the next ten and call Savannah today for my facial! What shall I do at 20? (At this rate, I have a while to think about it...)

Down a Wee Bit More

OK - We're down 7.8. I'll take it! Ate at IHOP to celebrate - probably not in the manual under "grand ideas." However, I can almost smell my facial just 2.2 pounds away!

Best Dinner Since I Started This Thing!

This morning as I walked gaily (trudged) on the elliptical, I was enjoying (trying to read and not fall off) the current issue of Health (seems only right, don't you think?). I got this idea from them and made it with stuff I have. Here's what I did:
  • went outside and pinched the tops off two basil plants - probably 10-12 leaves, then washed and tore up leaves
  • sliced a huge garlic clove into very thin slices
  • cut about 12 grape tomatoes in half, long-wise
  • put all of the above in a bowl where I added basil-infused olive oil, salt and pepper
  • dumped the bowlful onto a light, multi-grain flat-out (from deli at Publix - hi fiber, hi protein, low everything else)
  • chopped two cheese sticks on top and sprinkled it all with a bit of Parm
  • baked it at 400 degrees for 10ish minutes
  • FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This healthy eating is a piece of cake - dang - why did I say cake?

12% of Big Goal Down

I hit 6 on the official scale today, so I'm 12 % of the way to the big goal and 60% to the facial. Slow - but I'll take it.
