Month Two Updates

Hello everyone. Just a quick update on my weight-loss progress and goals after two-months of my new health and eating regime of pretty much consuming very healthy, yummy-tasting but low-carb meals. I am doing this the right way, slowly but surely. Nothing drastic, nothing I can't stick  to for the long-run.

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.

xoxo,

The Healthy Hottie.
