81 Days.....

I've been eating low carb.... I will find myself sitting for hours in the evening on my "down" time before bed going through websites and Pinterest looking for Low Carb recipes...

Since I started 81 days ago, I have lost 30.6 lbs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

About a week ago it became very visible and evident that I've lost a significant chunk.  I'm starting to see bags and lines in my face where it used to be full of cheerful fat.  I'm wearing dresses that I could not fit into - I've lost about 1 1/2-2 sizes depending on the cut....  My butt is starting to shrink - and my boobs.... my neck is getting turkey like too.  Remember, I'm two years from turning 50 - this isn't young/youthful bounce back skin we're talking about.

Tomorrow I go to the lab for blood work, and next week I find out if I've got the vitamin deficiency under control and if I've lowered my blood sugar to a safer level... or at least lowered it.  I popped my finger and did a test on my own at my grandmother's using her meter - and I was down 7 points from my last test of my blood sugar.  Lets see what the labs have to say!!!!!

I know I've been terrible with blogging...

Last night I took two zucchini and a large yellow squash and sliced them very thin, and layered them with sauteed onions, garlic, diced tomatoes, Sicilian spice mix, shredded cheeses and baked for an hour... I packed up leftovers for tonight's dinner too.  It was so filling - so yummy - and that's basically how I eat...

Either my Stuffed Poblano recipe, salads, bowls of veggies, chicken hot dogs with mustard, deviled eggs, rotisserie chicken with veggies, miscellaneous chicken recipes I have found, and I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything - I feel good... I also feel much better about myself and I still have a long way to go!!!!!!!
