Great goals Miss Whitney!

Yeah Jinjeet! That's great! It's awesome when small changes turn into measurable accomplishments!

I've been doing good all week with tracking my food. I'm finding I'm low on protein most days (newly vegetarian, it was kind of to be expected) so I need to start seeking out some foods that are higher in protein. Also, we need to get a scale...

Tonight I'm eating farfalle pasta with roasted cauliflower, cannelini beans, olives, anchovies, parsley, and a little bit of parmesan. Not the most veg-heavy meal, but not all that unhealthy. I'm planning on making kale chips for later when I sit down to watch a movie.

Went for a short walk with the dog this afternoon... will try and do another later this evening.

I'm making these salmon patties for dinner! I added some lemon zest and cayenne pepper as well as cooked minced red onion with minced celery to add in (and reduced the fat a bit). I desperately need to get veggies from the store, but I'm making baked onion rings from here on Craftster as well as a bit of salad and some sad looking broccoli I would like to use up.

I made the onion rings after reading your post and they were fantastic!! They felt so much healthier since they weren't full of gross oil.

I've been doing great drinking more water and eating a small breakfast this week. I feel a lot less tired at night and I feel like I'm getting more done. YAY!

Oh Heck! Fell off the wagon. I was dying for a hamburger so I made hamburgers and fried onion rings (heck). Now I know where I got the urge for the onion rings. I need to get my oven fixed so I can just bake them. I made a salad with it but no other carbs. Oh well. Gotta make up for it.

I did good this weekend! Yay! I'm going to make a smoothie for breakfast tomorrow, and I have salad stuff ready to go for lunch, and soup ready to go for dinner.

Saturday was a bad day due to my son's birthday party.  I stayed away from the cake but I snacked a bit more than I wanted to.

Last night we had beef tacos that I made in the crock pot.  They were SO good.  Not many veggies but I didn't eat any chips and salsa.

This week for lunch I will be having quinoa, grilled chicken, and steamed veggies.  YUM!

My first week went pretty well... I stayed under my calorie intake for all the days but I did have some slip-ups... I managed to stay on track with my breakfast every day!

My second week goal is to drink a full glass of water with every meal. I know this sounds simple, but I often go through the day without drinking anything other than coffee.

Here goes on week two! 

[lindyv321]

felix you will be surprised how good you feel when you up your water intake!  I drink 1-2 large cups of coffee in the morning then it's water all day long after that!  Well I may have a green tea in the afternoon if a need a pick me up.

If any of you have a chance to read through any of the Eat This, Not That books do it!  They are very eye opening in regards to the processed foods we eat and the tricks that food companies use trick us into eating WAY more than we think we are.  I have the reasturant guide, the supermarket guide, and the cookbook.
