End of Week #1 ~ Time to Weigh-In
Well, I must say that I am very pleased to announce that I lost 8 lbs. on my first week of the Take Shape For Life program. I am feeling hopeful for the first time in more than two decades!!! My dream to become Thin Again in 2010 is off to a really good start! :)
There is so much more for me to look forward to on this program, too. I have so many new ideas for the Lean & Green meal. I also look forward to trying some muffin recipes using the Medifast oatmeal. I will post on here what I like so others may try it for some variety on the 5 and 1 plan.
Last night I made a parmesan crusted tilapia and my husband loved it. I used a little tiny bit of olive oil brushed on the fish, sprinkled (sparingly) some garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, paprika and reduced fat parmeson on each side. Baked it at 400° for 15 minutes. Delicious!
I've never been much of a "fish" eater so it is exciting to find a recipe that I liked. We had it with a side of mixed vegetables and I was so full when I was done eating. Before, the only time I had fish was if it were battered, deep fried and had french fries with cole slaw on the side. LOL
Today's Meals:
Breakfast: Cappucino
Mid-Morning: Apple & Cinnamon Oatmeal
Lunch: Chicken Noodle Soup
Mid-Afternoon: Strawberry Crunch Bar
Dinner: Parmesan Crusted Tilapia w/ mixed vegetables
Evening: Chocolate Mint Bar
Today has been a great day!!!

8 POUNDS!!! awesome! CONGRATS!
Congrats- that's a great first week. ( I came across your blog on escape from obesity)
Thanks to Seth and Stacie. I'm glad you found my blog. I have been slacking in writing during week #2 but I am still going strong and tomorrow is weigh-in, which I will post tomorrow (or by the weekend).
Sounds like your doing really great!
Yes -- I'm doing great on the program. I just wish I didn't get the stomach bug that is going around at work. It didn't stop me from staying on program, though. I've been drinking the shakes because food was not something I was in the mood for but I did wish I could have some "real" chicken noodle soup! ;)
