There are things I love about eating healthy, exercising and using It Works! products....
 - I feel great!
 - I am giving my kids a healthy start
 - I am teaching myself how to manage food and exercise. 

Here is the deal...I spent the last 2 weeks being frustrated that I was not loosing more weight.  I was just sitting at 191.4, I was working out, eating nothing I "wanted" and missing diet coke.  I was day away from giving up...I was ready to just stop working at everything.  I cried all the way to work last Friday morning.  I gave up and had a rough weekend, diet coke and carbs re-entered the family.  I felt devastated, defeated and sad.  I was so sad that I had "failed" that I had "given up" and then my friend sent me a note about giving up when progress was slow, not paying attention to the fact that slow progress is still progress.  So, I am not going to let the stress of life and frustration of no weight loss get to me...I am not going to let it stop my drive and my discipline.  I am capable of doing this...I am stronger then my vises or my emotions!!   

I saw this today...I love it.  What I want now is

I also loved this one...new butt on the horizon :)

I love chicken!!

1/3 cup lemon juice

1/4 cup olive oil

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

2 large cloves garlic, chopped

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

4 chicken breasts

Mix the ingredients in a medium mixing bowl,  Place the chicken in the marinade.  Marinate the chicken for 2-4 hrs (not more then 6 hrs) just trust me...grill the chicken.  Cut up the chicken into bite size pieces.  Put over romaine lettuce with Cesar salad dressing (I prefer Maries' brand)

Sometimes I like sprinkle a little parmesan cheese!

ENJOY!!

ThOughTs On a ThUrsDaY

I was looking at pictures today at work, and I ran across this one.  I am almost embarrassed to even post this.  I think sometimes I forget how far I have come. 

So, I am choosing today to look back and be grateful for how far I have come and all the work that I have done.  I am so grateful I have these pictures to look back on and see where I have been...I never ever want to forget!
