Week 4 - END OF MY FIRST MONTH - RESULTS :)

So after my morning post I went to the fridge and got crackin'! I decided to go ahead and wash/dry the lettuce as well as pre-portion for the salads we'll be eating for lunch this week.

Here is a picture of mixed salad greens pre-portioned in to 4 cups each. Now all I'll have to do is add the toppings as called for :)

Speaking of lunch - today the salad called for 4 c. mixed salad greens, 1 T. onions, 5 black olives and vinaigrette dresing. I'll be honest, I didn't enjoy the added flavor the onions brought. I thought I wouldn't have enjoyed the black olives - but the onions were nasty! I muscled through it though :)

Tonight for dinner we each had a serving of chicken (the size of a deck of cards) - so we ended up splitting 1 chicken breast. Then the salad was 2 c. romaine lettuce, 1/2 c. sliced cucumbers and 5 cherry tomatoes. We also had 6 spears of asparagus :) Yum! Dinner was tasty! We pretty much turned it into a nice looking chicken salad by cutting up the chicken and mixing it into the greens.

The moment I've been waiting for - let me show you the comparison picture. These pictures compare Day 1 to the end of my 4th week (so one month). My total weight loss was 8 lbs. I can tell that I've lost weight in my waist line. It's nice to see in my profile picture the tire around my middle slowly starting to disappear! Can't wait to see what happens this next month :)

PS - I didn't add the cat, she just needed her time in the spotlight. So world of blogging - meet 10 month old Karma :)
