Taco Soup
Friday December 16, 2016
I am still doing great on my dieting. I only lost 1 pound in the past week. It is still good because I am still eating healthy. On that note a real easy low calorie food is the Weight Watchers taco soup. You pour a can of this, a can of that and some taco seasoning with ground meat. In 30 minutes its ready to eat. Now where this soup can go wrong is if you add too many fixings to it. Say away from adding cheese, chips and sour cream. It tastes wonderful just on it's own. A whole cup is only 239 calories. If you have the time you could make it a little less calories by using a leaner ground meat or use fresh dried beans instead of canned ones. The only issue I have with the canned vegetables is that it has way to much salt in it. This one cup serving has 470mg of salt. So try you some today. It is very filling soup with lots and lots of protein.
A crucial part of everyone's dieting is will power. The second part is portion control with good choices and third is physical activity.

Onion Bacon Egg Cheese Omelet
Monday December 12, 2016
Ok here is another calorie saving meal. Your probably wondering why I worry about these small calorie savings. Well when your trying to loose weight every calorie counts. It also allows you to eat a little more for the next meal and you won't be so hungry for the day. Like I said last time when I cook bacon I always cook an extra slice just because I have to slave over the stove top to cook one slice of bacon. Yea who wants to cook 1 slice of bacon? Well for breakfast I wanted an omelet for breakfast. I diced up a quarter of an onion and a teaspoon of bacon bits in skillet till the onions where how I liked them. Then I fixed my eggs mixture and slow cooked it in a skillet (see link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hkQF4sNjXk ) . I would have normally put 2 slices of bacon when cooking this dish. Using the precooked bacon bits I saved 80 calories. I could have save some more if I would have used a low calorie cheese also. That was 80 calories I was able to save. Your ought to try it. No difference than using regular bacon. It's actually better. I have been doing good on my new eating plan. I lost another pound Yay!

Real Crumbled Bacon Bits
December 7, 2016
I have been working on my weight loss again for about a week. I found out that though my experiment last month that I could maintain, but I still have more to loose. I have been measuring and weighing my foods. Then entering it into my food app. I am proud to say I have lost another pound. Now I am at 196 and have 5 more pounds to loose for my trip and 11 more to go for my first target weight. You know what? It's going to happen sooner than you know. Here is a little foodie tip. Get the real precooked bacon bits for substitutes in your meal planning. I love to eat homemade grits with bacon. One slice of bacon sometimes 2 is what I will eat with it. That is 55 calories per slice. Well if I substitute with the bacon bits I get 25 calories of bacon instead. I'm not tempted to eat as much bacon. Because you know if your cooking bacon you might as well cook a couple extra pieces. My bacon and grits is only 234 calories instead of 319. That is calories saved for another meal! A crucial part of everyone's dieting is will power. The second part is portion control with good choices and third is physical activity.

Throwing The Diet Out The Window
December 5, 2016
It has been exactly one month since I have written in my blog and my food diary. I have been doing a personal experiment to see if I really learned from this life changing eating experience. I called this experiment throwing the diet out the window. What did I want to accomplish? My goal was to maintain my weight without all that measuring and weighing. I wanted to know if I did memorize the good and bad foods. I wanted to know if I really could measure 1/3 or 1/4 cup of rice, etc... Below are some items I had taken pictures of that I ate on my maintenance. Baked chicken, veggies, brown rice shrimp veggies and egg and smoke sausage breakfast was among the few things I ate. I did keep up my exercise regimen. I just didn't weigh myself during this time. What did I learn? Well on 11/28/2016 I got on the scale for the first time in a month. When I began this experiment I weighed 197 lbs. My current scale reading I weighed 197 lbs. That is AWESOME!!!!!! I didn't gain any weight. I actually did maintain. I learned that I did learn how to eat right. So here I am today, I am beginning my food diary again only to loose some more weight. I do know that it is realistic for me to be able to maintain my weight after all this is done. My scout goal is to be 191 to be able to attend the National Jamboree. My personal goal is 185. I have only 12 more pounds to go. Then I will make an appointment for the nurse at the hospital to do a personal BMI based on my body structure. At that moment I will maybe make myself a new goal. 185 is where I want to be at this moment. On another note, I have went through all of my wardrobe. I have officially gotten rid of all my 4x, 3x and 2x shirts. Also gone are my 18 and 16 sized jeans. I have had a few friends give me some hand me downs and I have hit some really cool sales to make me a new wardrobe. I didn't have many things to wear after I took out all of those clothes I shrunk out of. But that is a good thing, because I am never going that big ever again. A crucial part of everyone's dieting is will power. The second part is portion control with good choices and third is physical activity.
