I'm still here, plugging along. I'm down 2 pounds which isn't a lot since I didn't weigh in last week.
I am working on trying something new. I've realized that I save a ton of recipes on my computer. Things I want to try, low calorie, etc. However, then I never end up making them.
So I am creating a binder. The binder will have tabs for each meal. Dinner, breakfast, snacks, etc. Then I can have the printed recipe there along with the WW points and the % break down of fat, carbs, protein. I plan on also breaking down the binder into tabs with High Protein recipes.
I think part of my weight loss problem is that although I might be eating fewer calories, I'm still not eating always the right calories. As I look over the last few weeks I realize that I am still high % wise in the carbs area. My goal would be to even that out to where I was on a Carbs 30% Protein 50% Fat 20% ratio. Currently my carbs are in the 60% range most days.
I also want to get better about working out. I'm struggling with getting to the gym lately and then when I do get there a phone call has been interrupting me.
I hope to make the rounds and visit everyone this weekend and check in on how everyone is doing.
Plugging Along

I say congrats on the 2 pound loss! Whoo hoo! I like the binder idea- because I have one in semi-assembly. lol I've been slacking on working on it! Thanks for the reminder! :)
I love the binder idea! I might have to steal that when I have a weekend to get organized like that.
The carb habit is my weakness too, I wish there was an easy way to break it.

You are doing a great job!!! Congrats and keep it up!!!
that's a great idea! i have all these magazines with recipe pages dogeared and, like you, tons on my computer that i have the best of intentions...but never actually get around to trying them. printing them out and putting them in a binder is genius!
The binder is a great idea! Too bad I'm not organized enough to do that. I'm not organized enough to even diet. ;)
Congrats on the weight loss. :)
(I wanted to tell you that you sucked, since I can't seem to loose any weight recently. But, I'll be gracious, instead! Muah!)
not sure how i found you, but i happen to be on a diet...aren't most of us. i lost two pound last week. at first i was a bit discouraged, but two pounds really is good. it's the healthiest way to lose it. well, that's what i'm told anyway...:) good luck!!!!!! great job!
Hi Laura,
Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today & commenting...I'm here to return the favor. I think 2 lbs down is GREAT and you are being too hard on yourself.
A fellow blogger turned me onto this protein powder that I use to make smoothies every morning for breakfast. Which cut down my carbs A TON. I also put fruit in with the mix (you use skim milk as a base, then 2 scoops of the protein powder), so it's pretty tasty. Let me know if you're interested, I can tell you more about it. It comes in a big bag from Costco.
Thanks for the follow! I am now following you. Congrats on the 2 pounds, that is awesome. I made me a binder of recipes last week. I have been getting some great recipes from Sparkspeople.
And I wanted to share my weight loss blog with you

That binder sounds like a good idea. With so many things in my life, finding a method that truly works for me is the biggest hurdle.
Congrats on 2lbs! Don't be down on yourself, weight loss is a very gradual thing, and you should be very proud of two pounds!
I'm always looking for low fat yummy recipes. I love to cook! My mother in law gave me this cookbook a few years ago, and there are lots of great things in it! We're from Louisiana, so alot of Holly's recipes are cajun/creole influences. You're sure to love it:)
