2 more down, 8 more to go!

Yep, I'm down 2 more pounds! I have only 8 pounds left to my first short term goal and that is amazing! A month ago I had 19 pounds to my first short term goal, it's amazing how far (I feel) I've come in just a month!

No worries for those of you who are concerned I'm losing too much too fast: By the time I reach my first short term goal, I'll have been at this for a week shy of 2 months. I'm shooting for 8-10 pounds a month, which is the recommended 2-3 pounds per week.

I'm very excited about my lunch today: Tuna wrap on a whole wheat tortilla with baby spinach, reduced fat shredded cheddar cheese and mustard with 1/2 cup low fat cottage cheese. I did mix my tuna with mayo, which I know, I know, gross. However, I used the Reduced Fat Mayo with Olive Oil. It cuts the calories in half and actually tastes better. I used to saturate my tuna in mayo, but this time I just used 3 tbsp for a very large can of tuna. It was dryer than I'm used to, but I add mustard to the wrap and it makes a big difference.

And did I mention how BEAUTIFUL it is outside?? I already went to the gym this morning but I did it because I really wanted to get Nemo outside this afternoon. I haven't mastered running with him yet so we just take leisurely strolls.

Happy Spring!
