So Close....

UMeasurement day!

So since scales are not so reliable, I use the BodyTrackIt app to yrack my changes. 

If you remember my goal of being inder a 35" waist? Well, I am at 35" exactly!

1/16" to get below that measurement'

No problem, I will just keep doing what I am doing and it will be gone soon.

Small steps keep me going and so I am using the bathroom scale to keep me himble even though I know it is off but my logic is that is the weight that I show at the Dr.'s office with clothes on.

With that in mind, my mext goal if being under 160 lbs. is 3.9 lbs. which I want to happen. I have a tendancy to self sabotage by stopping what is working for me. Not this time. I am so close that I am not willing to slide down that hill again.

Thanks to Rocco Dispirito and his "Now Eat This Diet" cookbook, i am able to have the food I love without the fat and calories. The first recipe I tried was the Beef with Broccoli. His recipe takes it from 720 calories to around 193 calories.

I ised a fat free gravy mix and so my change equaled 174 calories per serving. It is so good that my broccoli despising husband ate it!

Here is the link for that recipe:

Also, he has several recipes on his own website:

I bought the majority of his books at the local Half Price Books but his Lose A Pond A Day I purchased on the HPB Marketplace and Amazon

 

In his recipe he mentions Seal Sama Teriyaki sauce. It is actually not available in the stores listed. I used a low salt variety that only had 3g of sugar. Later, I did find one made with Agave.

But, yesterday, I received an email that it was available at http://www2.netrition.com/cgi/prices.cgi?manu_id=512

WooHoo! Happy Camper!

I was actually getting ready to make it from scratch but I would rather have this as a comparison first.

Happy Trails!

Also the Shiritaki Rice/Miracle Noodle is founf in refrigerated dairy section in Central Market.
