You're losing weight...

...that's what my coworker and friend, Monique, said to me when I sleepily walked in the office this morning. Those three little words were exactly what I needed to hear after a discouraging day yesterday. I want to thank everyone, including Tina and Brittany, for their kind words and suggestions. It is truly appreciated! And I was so excited today when I put on a pair of fall-appropriate corduroys that were borderline too tight last year, and they were surprisingly loose. So I guess another thanks is in order to Jillian Michaels for kicking my butt everyday with the shred challenge. Only three more days to go until Level 2! (Insert blood-curdling scream here) I also have to give a few kudos to Jessica for walking with me around our buildings at lunch, and to my dog for begging me to take him out when I got home. We went another 2 miles today, so I already have 4 for the week (plus however far Jess and I trekked)! Is this starting to sound like an Oscar speech or what?! Ha!

Here's a few pics of today's meals. I didn't go over my allotted Weight Watchers points, and I'm feeling satisfied instead of stuffed. I drank a barrel of water too!

Breakfast was 1/2 cup organic plain yogurt, 1 cup frozen organic berries and 1/2 cup Kashi GoLean Crunch. I think I may thaw the fruit a bit before adding it to the yogurt next time, but it was still really good and filling! Beverages were water and lime La Croix. And yes, that is a yo-yo in the background...a little fun is in order sometimes when you live in a cube! :)

Lunch was leftover WW bacon and scallop pasta. I added some broccoli and cauliflower for a little more color and vitamins.

Snacks included a juicy apple mid-morning from this bunch. I got a big bag of these for $4! I also noshed on this when I got home:

Yummy plum!

Since I had a starchy lunch, I went for a lower-carb dinner option: taco salad. Iceberg, tomatoes, 1/4 cup black beans, a few pieces of avocado, one slice of Colby-Jack cheese, sprinkle of olives, two dollops of Daisy sour cream, and of course the best part, organic, grass-fed ground beef. I don't know if I can ever buy meat from a grocery store after tasting hormone-free beef. I definitely recommend it if you don't mind paying a few extra dollars -- every bite is worth it!

Tonight is the premiere of The Hills! I didn't really watch it last season, but with the new girl in town (Kristen Cavallari), I'm anxious to see what kind of drama unfolds. I know, it's bad reality TV, but as Miranda says in Sex and the City, "It's my thing, let it go!" Ha Ha! Have a great night!
