Day 8 - Monday Weigh-In

Song of the day: Florence + The Machine - Dog Days Are Over

Yesterday's work out felt really good.  My body is finally starting to realize what's going on, and I'm actually enjoying and looking forward to getting to work out.  The tomato-citrus salmon we had last night was really good!  I'm always wonder if I'm cooking salmon correctly since it comes with the scales on, but it turned out really good.  I was also worried if Kyle was going to like it or not because he's not a huge fan of tomatoes or green olives.  Surprisingly he ate the whole thing and actually liked it!  I was prepared to take all his green olives for him, but there wasn't anything left on his plate!  Okay, now time for the moment of truth...

1/3/11 - 232.6 lbs.

1/10/11 - 224.2 lbs.

Weight loss for Week One: 8.4 lbs!!!!

I feel awesome!!!  In the past I would have starved myself and worked out until I wanted to pass out and only see the scale move maybe 2 lbs.  It's just great to know that I'm losing weight!  I am far from even close to being done, but this definitely makes me want to continue forward!  

Today I am going to stay with my parents until Friday morning since Kyle is going to Utah for work.  I am bringing with me all of my cooking light magazines so I'm not entirely sure what we're going to eat for dinner.  There's so much new stuff that I want to try, but I also want to share some of last weeks recipes with my family.  I'm pretty sure they would all love the spicy shrimp noodle bowl!  I am going to have the prosciutto, pear, and blue cheese sandwich for lunch, possibly minus the pear depending on if my parents have one, and I cannot wait!  That has to be one of the best things I have ever tasted!  

Time to go feed Elliot, eat breakfast, then hit the road!
