Be Proud of It

182.8

One of the things I have noticed the past couple of weeks is how good my food is looking on the plate. Even Hubby is 'wow'ing it every time I serve him. That isn't something that would happen when the food came out of a box... or from a To-Go bag. Now I'm using fresh veggies, fish, shrimp, chicken and beef. Each meal, to me, is a masterpiece.

Some of my goals in the kitchen:

Make it colorful! I put in a ton of veggies... and each one is a different color!!

Spice it up! Seasoning doesn't have calories.. get brave and start playing around with them. You'll be surprised.

Balance it out! Whatever your making... make sure its well balanced. Add some brown rice or whole grain noodles to give you your carbs!

Be proud of the food you put on your plate. Even if your the only one that is going to enjoy it.

I was AMAZED to see 182 this morning. I am so close to saying goodbye to the 180's forever... and hello to a whole new me!!
