Day off

I got my hair done this morning. Started the lightening process..I hate these in between months. I want BLONDE asap!

Au Natural

I thought I would take some photos of where I am starting off on my weight loss journey. Here I am at 155 pounds.

Quinoa is my new favorite. I made some yesterday and it turned out to be a way larger portion that I expected. Boy does that stuff expand.

I cooked it up and mixed it with black beans, mushrooms, green pepper, green chilies and salsa. It was delish!
Tonight I made a burrito out of some of the left overs(I love burritos). So yummy! I still have so much left I think I might freeze some!

Along with healthy eating and new hair Finn and I also went on yet another hike. I could never go to a gym, I just enjoy being outdoors so much more.

Day four

It is my day four of being back on Weight Watchers. This time around I have been inspired to not just follow the points but to make sure the points that are going into my mouth are healthy ones. I am going to cut back huge on processed foods etc and try to prepare a lot more of what I eat myself.

Because of this I think I am going to go vegetarian. I was vegetarian for most of my teens. I think that by eliminating meat from my diet it will be much easier to stick with healthy eating. I find for me I do not eat a lot of meat as it is but when I do it is usually not the healthiest meal.

I need to find some good recipes that will freeze well so that I have dinners when I am working 12 hrs days.

I am going to be starting Weight Watchers on Tuesday. I did it last year and lost a nice amount of weight. Unfortunately I was not able to keep it off so I am back to the WW. Fingers crossed this time around will be more effective long term. I am going to try to cook more and such and really change my eating. It is hard with my schedule but I will try to cook when I am not working and freezing leftovers for easy meals on work days.
If anyone knows of any weight watcher recipe sites I would be grateful if you could please share.

I will update on my blog anything good I make, any progress I have.
