First Weigh In Friday

I am doing the happy dance for all of our Meltdown participants today!  Amazing doesn't even come close to describing the first weigh in! 

Here are some stats for you to think about from today's weigh in at the clinic (this is as of 2:30 p.m.) today and I know many of you will email after this blog post & I know numbers will go up but as of this moment we, as a group, have lost 80+ pounds this first week, 37.15 inches, with an average weight loss per Meltdown participant of 2.2 pounds!!  What a great first week!

I personally lost 2.6 pounds and 1.75 inches off of my waist!  I am looking forward to another great Meltdown week starting today.  Thank you for all of the sweet notes, emails, and Facebook posts about how much you love the Meltdown, love the fitness classes, & how much you are enjoying taking time for yourself.  A healthy lifestyle should be fun and Meltdown has been a BLAST!

**Photo taken at the Caney zoo.  The baby fawn lost it's Momma and they are raising it.  The little cowboy was asked to help bottle feed the fawn & you guessed it, he asked if we could take it to the farm to live.  He told the owner's of the zoo that we had a great little farm that the baby fawn would love to come live on:)

The little cowboy woke up with anticipation for a great Meltdown weigh in!  He's going to call me as soon as school's out to get an update on how everyone did.  He is your biggest supporter and was very upset he didn't get to meet Gaylen & Corrie this morning at FireEscape to be on the radio!  He loves the daily grind morning program. 

We listen to it every morning on the ride into school.

As I made out the grocery list last night and looked at what I needed to complete my meal plan I thought I would answer alot of the questions I have been flooded with on email as to what choices I make for breakfast, lunch, & dinner.

If you search this blog website you will find a ton of recipes but here are my go to items that I love each week.

For breakfast I like to have one of my yogurt parfaits loaded with fruit and little bit of cereal.  I like it because I can make it ahead of time and bring it with me to work.  

For lunch I really like Chicken or Shrimp Fajitas that I make with low carb wheat tortillas.  I usually eat one that is really loaded with veggies and little bit of meat.  

In the afternoon I find that around 2:30 p.m. I need a little something so I usually have a Chai tea or a Crystal Light Hunger Management Drink mixed with my water along with a 100 calorie snack pack or a laughing cow cheese wedge with 11 Garlic/Parmesan Pretzels.

Supper is usually seafood of some sort (scallops, salmon, cod, tilapia) along with 2 veggies.

My 8 p.m. indulgence is my recipe for ice cream.  Read my I scream for Ice Cream blog posting (just type it into the search on this blog site).  I use a banana and several strawberries to make it and top it with 3 100 calorie oreo snack crackers crushed on top.  It looks pretty and it gives my "ice cream" a little crunch.

What have you planned for meals for the week?  Email me we'd love to post your recipes or ideas.

Congratulations on an exceedingly abundant first weigh in week!
