Today was eventful with a lot of changes to my planned meals for the day.  I made up chicken sausage fuisili for our lunches and dinners for today, however I forgot I had a new hire lunch today!  So I hurried online to look at the restaurants menu to see what my options were.  The choices were very limited, so I ended up having grilled chicken with roasted red peppers, onions and spinach.  It was originally served on a bun and smothered with cheese, but I made modifications and I think I did a pretty good job.  We then got tickets to the unveiling of the new MN Vikings stadium which meant we werent making it home to have dinner.  We opted for Chipotle which is always good, especially since we could have brown rice on it, instead of just a salad. 

Morning Weigh In:
Kiana: 153.2 lbs
Anthony: 245.2 lbs

Menu:
Breakfast @ 7am:
Steel cut oats with blueberries

Snack @ 9:45am:
Orange

Lunch @ 12:30pm:
Grilled chicken with roasted red peppers, onions and spinach; pineapple and strawberries

Snack @ 3pm:
Apple

Dinner @ 6pm:
Chipotle bowl with brown rice, lettuce, chicken, tomatoes and salsa

Workout:
None - I was supposed to do cardio but ended up with a huge headache after the unveiling and went straight to bed when I got home. Super bummed!

Notes on Food:
I made steel cut oats this morning - it took longer than I expected but I liked it - more texture than normal oats, but not a big change in taste in my opinion.  My husband thought they were ok - he didnt mind the texture but thought they had a blander taste.

And, we are at a stand still!  Seriously WTH - so frustrating, but Im going to stay on the positive side of this.  We are learning how to eat healthy foods, made at home and without processed ingredients.  Im starting to plan for whats next and it definitely includes incorporating what weve learned from the book into our day to day lives, specifically clean eating and making a lot of our meals ourselves.  And, it includes a ton more working out!  Im ready to get back into either a cycle of P90X or perhaps a P90X/Insanity/TurboFire Hybrid!!

I went to Panera to have a salad for lunch - Yum!  I was THAT girl that changed the entire salad up, but hey, I got the veggies that I was able to have today and the lady was really nice - although she did look at me funny when I said that I didnt want a side (bread, apple or chips), but just a pickle spear would be fine.

Well week 15 is over and the Medi-Weightloss Clinic was closed for the holiday weekend... So I decided to do a weigh in at home on my wii fit!

This was also my moms first week following the program (on her own with some minor coaching) so I thought itd be nice if we weighed in together. So far so good for mom, she lost over 7 lbs her first week! And if I am to believe the wii then Im down about another 3.4 lbs! :-)

For me that should roughly be a total loss to date of 47.3 lbs.

Im really struggling to make my halfway point (63.5 lbs) now. I find myself resenting the monotony in my food choices. And that has lead to some minor cheating but I never feel as satisfied with my cheats as I would with what Im allowed so then I still feel hungry AND I end up feeling guilty... A pattern I must break SOON.

No matter what my weight is still going down so Im happy about that and Im happy that my mom and I have each other for support now. Lets hope for a cheat-free week!
