Day #31 - Wooohoooo!

Starting weight (7/15/08):  279.8
Wednesday:  267.8  Yesterday:  267.2  Today:  265.8
Change today:  -1.4   Loss-so-far: 14.0 lbs.

Woooohoooo the scale finally mooooooooooved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It doesn’t take much to make me happy!  =D  After a fifteen-day stall, I’m just so happy to see the scale reflecting what I feel - I feel my clothes are roomier, I feel more limber, I feel less constrained, I feel GOOD.  I knew I had lost fat, I could feel it!  And yesterday I went over to my mom’s and she hadn’t seen me in almost two weeks and immediately she asked, “Did you lose more weight?”  She could see a difference, she said.  Wooooohoooo!!!

I spent the day with my daughter yesterday (oh yeah that was fun) and didn’t get home until almost 9pm.  I was so happy to see that my new Netrition box had arrived, that I pulled out a package of frozen chicken and made taco-chicken to try on my new LOW CARB TORTILLAS, which, by the way, were AWESOME.  They tasted just like “normal” tortillas (which means they taste kinda like nothing - which in this case is a very very good thing!).

Today for lunch I had two more chicken-soft-tacos with cheese and sour cream — YUMMY!

I also ordered Carbalose flour and almond flour… I really have been wanting muffins and I didn’t want to make them with the carbquik because I figured they would probably taste like… Carbquik.  Or at the very least, like biscuits.  I mean the carbquik is okay, it just has a weird texture and an odd aftertaste.  I have tried three different biscuit recipes so far using the Carbquik and didn’t really care that much for any of them.  Well, the one with yeast in it wasn’t too bad.  The carbolose flour smells more like flour.  Real flour.

So tonight I make muffins!  I’ll try to remember to take a picture, I love it when people post pictures in their blogs, so I’ve been trying to do it more often.

Edited to add:

Here they are! 
Vanilla muffins - only 3 net carbs each - and they taste as good as they look!

I still find it so amazing, that *I* am cooking!  LOL
