Todays weight 179.0
I am down 77 pounds from my top weight top of 256. I am grinning : ) .
My (former) dietitian and (former) trainer both suggested that I go no lower than 167. I am 5'6" and very muscular ( for a girl :) ) My personal goal is 155 -159. But truthfully that is my vanity talking because that is what I weighted in high school ,, a million years ago ,lol
My trainer and dietitian are both "former " because I can not afford them . . It was money well spent but not an expense I can afford on a regular basis.
Former dietitian was the one who suggested the exchanges plan. The exchanges are the same that a diabetic would use. Different than weight watchers and different than counting every calorie. I feel more in control when using the exchanges,, not sure why but it is what it is :)

Sunday
Back to posting and back to tracking my food.
I track my food on livestrong only because I have been on that site long enough that most of my regular foods are in the data base and easy for me to find. I have not tried other sites long enough to full know if I would like them better. Caulk it up to just plain laziness on my part.
Breakfast
egg ,sausage and rice fried in a touch of olive oil .
This is a normal breakfast for me . I am grain free with the exception of rice. For those of you that may be new to reading my blog , I have celiac disease and am soy , gluten, mostly grain free.I eat very few processed foods . I eat very healthy ( I think) I just tend to eat to much ,lol.
Morning snack
greek yogurt and blueberries
Lunch
ground turkey , pasta sauce,peppers,onions and rice pasta

I tend to eat alot of ground turkey. Turkey is one of the few meats my body tolerates well .
Snack
Banana
Dinner
