Progress Report 4

I lost three pounds last week. After gaining one pound the week before I was happy to see that this was the biggest loss in a seven day period for me. It seems to be getting easier for me to make the right choices when it comes to eating. We went out to eat once last week and I really wanted the fries that came with my chicken sandwich but opted for fruit to take it's place. We had a Super Bowl party as a family and I ended up making a few things that were appetizing, healthy and low calorie (considering what they were). It also helped that we hadn't eaten all day up to that point, so I felt I could consume more calories then I normally would in a single meal.
On the menu was pizza made with whole wheat crust topped with olives, mushrooms and banana peppers, I also made pigs in a blanket using organic chicken hot dogs and wrapped them in whole wheat dough. Joe and the kids put together a healthier version of 7 layer dip with fat free refried beans, tomatoes, a thin layer of homemade guacamole, olives, a thin layer of fat free sour cream and a sprinkle of 2% cheddar cheese. I guess that would make it 6 layer dip.

Here is a picture of our little Super Bowl Spread.

We also had one of these to drink, they are pretty good for only 10 calories each and you can get them at Costco.
