Second Week Down!!

Hello! Hello! I know everyone is busy watching the Ravens game (hopefully their success), but I am busy celebrating my success!! I have completed the 2nd week of my 21 days of restrictions!  I am proud to announce that I am down 3.1 more lbs!!! Woo hoooooo! I am so excited!  Not only am I down a few more lbs, but I am also down a few more inches!  I am down a total of 4.25 inches this week!! I lost 2 inches at my ribs (bra), 1.25 inches at my waist and 1 inch off my hips!!

Total Weight Loss= 7.8 lbs
Total Inches Lost= 7.25 inches

This past week has been a lot easier than the first.  I am over the cravings and the bitterness of "not being able" to eat certain foods.  I have explored new recipes and discovered that I actually like cooking for myself!

One of my favorite things to eat is my Mom's homemade spaghetti.  This stuff is delicious.  I think it may be one of the only things I ever learned from my Mom to cook.  The only issue is that it is made with sugar and served over pasta with LOTS of cheese.  Tonight I was able to tweek it to my diet and it was amazing!  I substituted the ground beef with ground bison.  I also substituted the sugar with raw honey.  I made quinoa pasta and didn't use any cheese.  I must say *pat on my own back* it was really yummy! I am already looking forward to having it again for lunch tomorrow lol...

I know I said it last time, but I cannot tell you how much the support and words of encouragement have meant to me.  I have loved everything that everyone has said!  Thank you so much!

Here is to another week!!! Here we go!
