I went out to lunch with my dad and I got a salad and some pasta, only ate about 1/4 of it and brought it home. That wasn't so bad. But then later on I finished the rest of my pasta, ate a 100 calorie pack of popcorn, and eventually ended up eating a bowl of cereal with skim milk. I felt starving...and I made bad choices. I am accountable to myself and to you guys!
Luckily I am back on track today! Eating healthy, exercise...I'm being a good girl.
My recipe of the day is a delicious lower calorie beef and broccoli! I loove Chinese food...and this one is great!

The sodium in stuff always gets me, I hate it. It makes me retain and my ankles momentarily turn into kankles and it's not cute. I bet the pasta threw your ass for a loop, huh? When I eat carbs - I only want more carbs. And more. And more and then I'm starving and all it's doing is bloating those fat cells we try to shrivel up in our belly. White starches like to make residence in belly space - I am working on eviction notices for all ten million of them whores in mine. I seriously hate this belly, but even now at 39 pounds down it seems the same time. It's not, but it sure seems that way. Ok, I'm officially done rambling on this comment.
