Today was a weigh in day. I lost 0.2lbs. Definitely not what I was expecting, but I think that part of my problem is that I'm not getting in enough calories, so my body is trying to hang on to every lb. It's not that I'm not eating, I'm just eating mostly low fat/low calorie foods. I have been eating mostly vegetables, nuts and fruits. Also, I did more extensive weight training this week, so that might have something to do with it. We'll see what happens next Saturday with the scale. On a VERY positive note, I am now three sizes down in jeans.
Last night's Dinner:
This is roasted grape tomatoes on quinoa pasta with a little fresh Parmigiano-Reggiano on top. It was delicious! I was very impressed by the quinoa pasta. I get tired of whole wheat pasta, so I wanted to try something new. The kids didn't even notice that it was different. My mother and father-in-law passed along the recipe for the roasted grape tomatoes. I'll do my part and pass it along again ;)
