A healthy day

Okay so I finally made me some sushi. It sounds like a super big deal but it's really easy. Usually when I make sushi I make it all myself from scratch but today I just used this sushi wrap in box. It's delish! One serving is only 170 calories before adding anything inside...so you can determine how many extra calories you want or how healthy you want your filling to be. Today I just used avocado and cucumber. I ate this around 11:00 a.m. it was filling for a couple of hours or so.


So at about 1-2 p.m. I made a veggie burger with avocado on a whole wheat bun. It was amazing except for the part where I over cooked my patty. :( My fruit on the other hand was so good. Blueberries are so good right now.


Now for dinner around 6:30 I made and ate one of my favorite salads. I call it my shrimp salad cause I don't really have an interesting name for it. Anyhow its a mixture of romaine and iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, black olives, feta cheese, shrimp (cooked in lemon juice and pepper) and oil and vinegar for the dressing (sometimes I use a dash of salt and pepper on the entire salad as well). Today I had to meet my husband up at the church to eat dinner so I packed up a meal for the three of us. Me, hubby and our daughter (she's 20 months old). She liked it. We didn't actually get to eat the cherries...I'm saving them for tomorrows breakfast.


So ...today I decided to stand on the scale (I have no idea why). I know I should wait and only weigh in once a week but I just did it. I weight 288.... It's such a huge number. I'm just staring at it. Although it is a big number it is 5 pounds down from Sunday's weigh in. AND...I'm even on my period now which means I'm bloated. So being sick really has helped me lose weight. Too bad it sucks to be sick. So the goal is to keep those 5 pounds off for good. I can't wait till my next blog post....see you then.
