Feeling Great!

Updates since my last post:

I joined a gym and have been going often.  I can now run!!!!  Not far yet, but I plan to be able to run my next 5k.  Thats right, I did a 5k!  My mom and I walked the 5k in DC for Hyperemesis Gravidarum.  Pictures are posted at helpher.org and we are in a bunch of them!

This morning I weighed in at 211.1...  thats right, 211.1  the lowest weight I have been in 7 years!Woot!!!

Tonight I tried a new recipe and I'm honestly pretty pissed that I have never thought of this one myself.


Big Mac in a Bowl

8 oz raw ground turkey 
2 cups iceburg lettuce
2 or 3 dill pickle spears diced
diced onion to taste
Walden Farms thousand island dressing to taste

Cook ground turkey in skillet, seasoning to taste.  Mix all ingredients in bowl and enjoy.


I swear, it was just like a freaking big mac!  Didn't even miss the cheese or the bread!  I am doing high protein right now and I get most of my calories at dinner, but this could easily be cut in half to save on some of the calories.  Of course, if you use dressing other than Walden Farms you will have to take that into account since WF is calorie free.
