Eating Well and Loving It!

I have been eating very well since I started my lose weight plan about six to eight weeks ago. I'm surprised at how much I actually like the foods I'm eating. I use to eat bread, lots of bread, every day. I love bread. However, since starting to lose weight, I notice that cutting out bread is having a significant impact on how much weight I lose.

I also eat brown rice now. I understand that brown rice is much healthier than the enriched white rice that I use to eat. I found out that the secret to making brown rice taste somewhat "normal" or like white rice is cooking it for a full 45 minutes. I use to treat cooking it like the way I cook white rice and the brown rice would always come out a little hard and bland. Another big change I've made to my diet is that I don't use iodized salt, but sea salt.

Well that is a little update on my lose weight plan. I'm still at 178, but yesterday I ate a whole lot more than I have been eating. Surprisingly, I didn't gain more. I had two servings of this shrimp/chicken dish I made and I thought it would surely bowl me over the 178 mark, but it didn't. YAY!
