Wowzers! My mom is great! She made a wonderful and quite filling salad for me to eat yesterday before I ate dinner. Then I ate chicken breast and spinach with mushrooms she also fixed. Nothing wrong with a little protein and some extra veggies! The initial salad kept me away from the mashed potatoes she fixed! Looks like that goal of eating as many fruits and vegetables as I want is paying off for more than one reason: veggies are great for me AND they're keeping me away from foods that I ordinarily would jump on! Potatoes aren't bad for you per se but that's something I could easily overdo it on because I love them so much. I'd rather overdo it on salad!
I really hope this is all paying off! I have two more days in Texas to exhibit some self control. And the test continues...
I'll see that scale on Monday whether I like it or not and *fingers crossed* I can move my weight slider at the top of the blog over to the right a smidge :)
Salad Love,
Elizabeth
P.S. The salad I had looked waaaaay better than that lol
God I love potatoes...I could def see how a person could overindulge in potatoes.
