IMMMMMMMMMMMMM BACK!!!

So I havent posted in about a week becasue I have been so busy! I have been doing really well on my plan. I will go on Saturday to weigh in.

Tomorrow I will start posting my food journals again.

I will post my pounds lost on Saturday and my menu for the week. 

1/19 post: WHAT I GAINED I POUND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I weighed in yesterday. The last time I wayed in was Saturday morning. Much to my surprise when I weighed in today I had gained 1 pound. WHAT!!!! I couldnt figure it out because I have been so good. My first thought was... I really should have just eated that cake!! However, I learned that your weight is very differant when you weigh in in the morning and in the evening.

Since I weighed in Saturday morning and weighed in again on Wednesday night I was not compairing apples to apples. Apparently your weight can be heavier by 2-3 pounds in the evening. WHEW!!

I will not be weighing in on Saturday because I have UIL in Tarkington. The next time I weigh in will be next Wednesday and I should have a more accurate result.

Along Came Polly Dance Scene.....

Samba..Ramba....Zumba....Oh My!!

Today was a great diet day! I followed my plan and I even turned away cake. Not just any kind, the kind with the really good think icing that is so yummy. I figured there will still be cake in the world after I loose the weight so I can have a bite then. This way of thinking is what gets me through the day lol.

This evening I went to Zumba at the YMCA. Zumba is the latest exercise craze that is basically Latin dance. Lets just say I looked like a hot Latin mess out on the gym floor. I seriously felt like the character Reuben in the movie Along Came Polly. If you have seen the movie you know exactly what I am talking about. Regardless of how I looked it was a lot of fun and I know I burned a ton of calories in that hour.

Tomorrow I weigh in. Hopefully I have lost something since Saturday.

Only time will tell :)

Creamy Taco Dressing

So as I was trying to figure out a healthy way to make taco salad I came up with this idea. I made creamy taco salad dressing.

I  used 4 tbs of fat free sour cream, dill, Tabasco, onion powder, cumin and  taco seasoning.I used a "pinch" of each.

I mixed it all in a bowl with a tbs of ff milk. OMG it was sooooooooooo yummy and it made a lot. Oh and it was only 50 calories. WHOO HOO!!!!
