I have lost 61 pounds and I am still going strong! I realized today that I am 3 pounds away from being 100 pounds lighter than I was when I had my Gastric Bypass 12 years ago. I am very proud of myself! I haven't had such a great workout time though. The weather has been unpleasant so April/May has not been very good for Running outside. I still go to the gym a few days a week but I do not push myself as hard. I am still on point with my Caloric intake. In fact, Wendy's has a new Berry Almond Salad that only has 426 calories and it is FANTASTIC!! Its Raspberry Vinaigrette is the best that I have ever had! The berries are fresh, the chicken is seasoned perfectly! Awesome!!! I usually get the half order and its perfect and less calories! I eat Salads everyday of some sort. I love all the fresh veggies and fruits that are coming in season right now.
I need to go shopping again. I have been buying shoes. The new clothes that I just bought are too big already. I feel good about myself. I have been tanning,, I don't want to hear how bad it is. I love the bronze glow, I think it looks healthier.
I have not felt this good about me in a long time! I like it!!!
Keep moving forward!
After 20 years of failed yo-yo dieting, my new lifestyle and weight loss journey began 12/02/2010. I decided to track and blog along the way to remind me of the good and bad and to keep me accountable.

Its all Greek to me....
Salad that is! I am on a Greek Salad kick right now. I literally have had one EVERYDAY for the last 2 weeks. It all started when I went clothes shopping. Den and I had lunch at his favorite Burger Place and I saw Greek Salad on the menu. Tired of the boring and not wanting the fattening salads I opted for the Greeks Variation. Well lets just say that they should stick to burgers. I was disappointed to say the least. That sparked my desire for the tasty take on a plate of greens.
I love the Feta and the Olives. I have several versions and I have decided that my version is my favorite. I use Romaine lettuce, Cucumber, Grape Tomatoes, Calamata Olives, Reduced Fat Feta, Dried Cherries, and Roasted Almonds. I lightly dust with Mediterranean Seasoned Sea Salt, Pepper, Balsamic Vinegar and Very little Olive Oil. It is yummy!!
However after several of them I did notice that I was retaining water BAD! I realized that all those Olives are loaded with SALT! So I did cut back. I have added a picture of the Salad I made last night. Try one they are a great change from the usual.
