Day 14

So today I woke up really frustrated because I've had no weight loss. But my clothes fit amazing and I just didn't get it.  Then I had to remind myself, I've only been doing this for not even 2 weeks! And whats more, my clothes fit. So who cares what the scale says! I've changed my life to be healthier and that's the bottom line. I think I got so caught up with what other people have done that I forgot to be excited about where I am. I broke out the measuring tape, and on my stomach alone I've almost lost 2 inches. 2 inches! And read up on any healthy diet and the most weight you are supposed to lose in a week is 1-2 pounds. Otherwise you're at risk for losing muscle.
So, I've decide to stick the scale in the closet and not weigh myself anymore until Day 24. When I put clothes on, I get so excited because they look good. Then I step on the scale and that just goes out the door. I realize I need to focus on where I will be in 24 days, as a whole. Energy, inches, weight and over all wellness. So from here on out, there will be no more weights! I took a picture just to compare my Day 1 to today and I can totally see the difference in my stomach. So that's a victory for me!
I also started the Couch to 5K yesterday and ran again today. So I'm eating better and working out so far on a consistent basis. Bathing suit season, here I come!
Today's weight: 141.4
Start weight: 146.7
Total lost: 5.3

For Dinner, I made a variation of this amazing meal.

It was the best for this warm day! http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/cda/recipe_print/0,1946,FOOD_9936_22891_RECIPE-PRINT-FULL-PAGE-FORMATTER,00.html

For the beans, I just sauteed the bell pepper, onion and some cumin. Added the rinsed beans and a splash of apple cider vinegar. So delicious!
