Small steps, big rewards!

This time last year I bought a dress from Lane Bryant to wear to a Jaycee All-State Year End Award Ceremony. I got it on sale and it was a little snug but it fit with some help from my besties helping in it. Well, since I've been working out now for 3 weeks solid and eating right... Thanks to WW, I thought I would try that same dress back on. It fits! I mean it fits WELL. In fact, it may be a little loose in areas! I'm so happy! I am not going to the award ceremony this weekend because I have other plans, but knowing that dress didn't fit a few weeks ago and now it does feels fantastic! I haven't been deprive of things I like and I certainly and starting to enjoy working out. I know the number on the scale is going down, but my body wants "looking" much different yet. However, putting on clothes without Effort that once took 3 of us... Feels like a small step toward my big reward of being healthy!

Healthy Strides and Alternative Choices

Today has been a great day! The weather is beautiful for January in Ohio!!!

Anyway, I made it to the gym today with my bestie at lunch. Although, afterwards we realized we should have walked outside, since it was so nice. At any rate, we worked out and hit it hard for the 25 minutes we could.

For dinner I was really craving some of Jets BBQ Chicken Pizza, but for someone trying to lose weight, it isn't the best craving to indulge on. So I made my own BBQ chicken pizza. I used Flatout Italian Herb Flat Bread and put 2 tablespoons of Sweet Baby Rays BBQ Sauce on top, 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, Tyson Grill & Ready chicken, red onion, and pineapple (not normally on Jets, but I was without bacon and wanted another topping). I baked it and it was darn good!

Right now I am not able to eat Jets and use portion control properly, so until I'm "retrained" I will stick with my tasty, healthier take on their recipe.
