Month 4 Weigh In

Weighed today with the doctor...-41 lbs! 9 more to 50!!! It is pretty exciting...only 2 more weigh ins until I buy my first pair of skinny jeans, not gonna lie, I am kinda nervous. I feel as though it now time to hit the "crunch time" button and really kick things into gear...my schedule has me out of whack this week at the gym but that's ok, not gonna sweat it to much. Just gonna be careful with what I eat and stay as active as possible. Which by the way, I have found these awesome protein bars, specifically made for women, Luna Bars!

They are delish but kinda high on sugar so I only suggest you eat them if you intend on working out!
Happy Cinco de Mayo to everyone! Today will be my first time eating Mexican since January! I'm excited, but not going to crazy with it! Have a great Hump Day ALL!

1.Thaw the chicken over night and then marinate in the Italian Dressing in the fridge during the day 2.Set the oven on broil and wash asparagus 3.Coat the Asparagus in Olive Oil and minced garlic, sprinkle Parmesan cheese on asparagus (salt to taste) and put in the oven. 3.While this is cooking, heat up a large skillet while you chop up the onion into strips, when heated add onion and garlic 4. When onion has started to brown add chicken and drippings 5.Cook about 5 mins on Med/High before flipping 5. Flip and cover for 5 more mins 6. By this time Asparagus should be finished, Brown Rice goes great with this!

Reading Between The Lines...


Looking for a really good book to read about weight loss and the challenges and 20 something college student goes through...Problem? I can't find anything! As a browse through Barnes and Noble all I can seem to come across are books about older women, usually single or divorced, trying to get their lives on track or the 30 somethings looking for marriage...neither of which apply to me. Also, I just bought a great cookbook that I am really ready to crack open and get into...it's called the 3 Hour Diet, it's whole aspect is about eating every 3 hours, which is actually what I am trying to do. It has guides and even some great menus for those of us who have problems "putting it all together". I got it on sale at Barnes and Nobles.


So anyways if you guys have any advice on some good reads let me know!
