Moving right along here!!

So, my menu is getting bigger. I have been able to have pieces of a veggie sub, very small mini pizzas, and tonite I made spagetti. I'm starting to settle into this weight loss thing rather nicely!! Sticking to 3 meals a day is hard. Sometimes I forget to eat a meal when I get too busy and my stomach forgets to remind me that I haven't eaten. 

I had a fierce battle this weekend with a FRIED CHICKEN WING!! My husband was home and decided to make fried wings for the family.  I walked into a cloud of fried chicken aroma and my stomach started to DANCE!!  It wanted the wings just as much as my brain did!! I took a stroll around the island in the kitchen and stopped by the counter that the chicken wings had landed on and I opened the container and took a wiff. Gave my husband the EYE and he gave me one right back. Only his eye said "GET OUTTA MY WINGS" and so I closed the container and went to sit down in the den.  I had to watch him enjoy those wings....and enjoy him he did!! Smacking his lips and licking those buffalo sauced fingers. I, on the other hand, had 2 BAKED chicken wings with buffalo sauce.  There was one wing left over, and everytime I walked by the kitchen door, that wing called my name!! Even when I went to bed I could hear it all the way upstairs. "KaSandra....you know you want a piece of me". I think I may have even dreamed about that dang wing!!

Now that I've recovered from that "wing take over". I can focus on doing exercises that I learned with my trainer. He gave me a WORKOUT the last time I was there.  Have another appointment this friday. I'm hoping to have a Jlo booty when I'm done! This takes a real commitment! Like they said in the informational session...this is not a diet, it's a lifestyle CHANGE!! I have to take food with me when I go places, because I can not just stop anywhere and get food anymore.  It takes me much longer to grocery shop because now I have to read ALL food labels before i purchase items for myself. Maybe I should of been doing this before the surgery, but if you don't know any better then how can you do any better.

I find myself LOVING ME more and more everyday!! That's something I haven't done in a long while. Self esteem, confidence, and self-love are INVALUABLE attributes for women! I don't know how I allowed them to deplete before, but I tell you, I will work harder to keep KaSandra #1!!

Here's to hoping that by the end of July, I will be below 200 lbs. My current weight is 216. I'm going to work really hard to meet that goal. I want to be skinny and HOTT for my birthday in September!
