I'm BAA-AACk

You missed me, didn't you? Admit it...you love me..I know....anyway, sorry about the lack of posting yesterday, stupidly busy day at work and I simply ran out of time.
I figured out part of my funk from last week. Coach K-the oh wise Grasshopper that she is, KNEW I had an underlying something going on...I did. It's time for my depo shot, which means I was in fact PMSing..no wonder the cravings monster was lurking around my door. Anywho...enough with those details!
Had a couple of NSV's (non-scale victories) First, I bought a belt that is a size medium large...MEDIUM!!! HOLY SHIT MEDIUM! I have NEVER worn anything medium, not even my socks are size medium...Second..rumor has it the hubs was bragging about my weight loss and how proud he is of me, always a good victory and third..size 31 jeans...which translate to a 12, I think? Another HUGE victory!
And now, since it is weigh in day, for the actual SCALE results....DOWN 5 pounds!!! FIVE POUNDS! HUGE week for me! Again, I can almost feel the $140 in my pocket....but moreover, I can see the white shorts fitting and see myself getting to goal. Which, I am close to...original goal anyway. Once I get to that number I will re-evaluate and see if I am satisfied where I am at or ready to go farther. Original goal is ONLY 12 more pounds, I can SOOOOO do that..I can do this..all of this, even with the holidays coming and Thanksgiving this week. I can control this. I am the master of my destiny...(christ, that was cheesy.) As you embark on the single biggest eating day of the year, control it. be the master of YOUR destiny. If you can't stay 100% on plan. Make wise decisions. Jump right back on that wagon. Don't let stuffing and pie be your excuse to go off track completely.
Later gators...

Recipe:
Zucchini "chili"
I made my family chili the other night and didn't want to make an entirely separate meal for myself, SO, I sauteed in olive oil pam a small zucchini, diced, some diced green pepper, diced tomato and shredded cabbage, when it was tender, I added 5 oz. lean ground beef drained and 1/2 cup rotel sprinkled it with some paprika and chili powder and it was REALLY good and REALLY filling. With all the veggies, it filled my big soup bowl and I still felt like I was eating with my family.
