Weight loss to date: 15lbs..
Inches (from head to toe): 11 (lost 1 full inch off my waist from month one to month two)
I'm feeling good. Lots more energy. Visible results (always a welcome thing, especially when you start getting the "hey, you've been losing weight and it shows!" comments:)
But I still have a ways to go before I can move on to maintenance mode. Let's see what month three brings. I am leaving on a mini vacation soon that hopes to incorporate lots of hiking and walking. However, I am also going to allow myself to taste a little bit of everything. It's Holiday, to deprive myself would be counter-productive. However, the emphasis will be on moderation and portion control, I'm not about to ruin my progess.
A few recipes for you low-carb lovers:
Braised Lemon and Garlic Chicken Breasts with caramelized onions. A cooked salad of tayota (a vegetable with a carrot/cucumber like consistency but a very mild zucchini-like taste), carrot and boiled egg, olive oil, lemon, salt and pepper. And halved cherry tomatoes.
Grilled Chicken Salad, romaine lettuce, red cabbage, onion, tomato, carrot, avocado and a dressing of grated garlic, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, oregano, salt and pepper. So yummy!
I'll be back soon with updates.

The Healthy Hottie.
