While the dye activates

I have to wait awhile until i get to take a shower and rinse all of this hair dye out. I've been doing pretty OK when it comes to my diet. I can proudly say that I've already lost about 40lbs since last may.

It's been a rough journey but I've made it through. Some of the biggest things i need to remember to do is eat less meat! That's probably one of the roughest things I've had to do since my family involves beef in EVERYTHING. Veggies and Fruits seem to be the key along with a good dose of whole grains.

Mainly my day consists of a carnation instant breakfast mixed with 2% milk. Snack at about 9:30... Mainly some apples. Then lunch which is usually some type of soup. Snack again at 3pm... more apples? Maybe some carrots? Then dinner and some milk of course. The milk helps with feeling full. Also they say that 3 glasses of 2% milk is shown to help promote weight loss.

I'm back to my high-school weight which I had surpassed about 4 years ago. I don't think i ever thought I'd be this thin again! But this isn't my goal... i still have ways to go.

Exercising is still my biggest challenge next to the meat thing. But I'm doing better!

Tomorrow I get the awesome opportunity to cook for the guys again. On the menu we have a couple of items.

Chicken Fried Steak
Rice, Broccoli, and Cheese casserole
Macaroni? Maybe.
Carrots? Probably.
Some kind of dessert?

Ok well i don't have everything planned out yet. I'll look for recipes tomorrow at work!
