When I started my blog three months ago, the goal was to lose 15 pounds in 3 months. At the time I felt that it would be an obtainable goal but as time went on, the weight was harder to come off and I realized that dieting is definitely not easy. In the past 3 weeks alone, the scale has gone up and down a few times. But unlike the first time I gained weight, I didn’t stress out about it. I knew that if I worked out a little harder and really stuck to my diet, the weight would come right off. And it has. This doesn’t mean that I’m going to binge eat..who am I kidding, binge drink, because I’ve made a lifestyle change. I don’t want a beer gut anymore or a bigger butt than I already have. I am ready for a sleeker, toner body.
So here I am three months later and I've lost 14.5 pounds which is 10% of my body weight. I didn't quite reach my goal weight, but I know I have accomplished a lot and have no regrets.
Last night’s dinner was excellent coming to a total of 7 points. The chicken turned out so moist and delicious as well as the low fat mac and cheese. I know it’s an oxymoron but it actually tasted really good. I had to stop myself from going back for thirds! Both recipes are from www.skinnytaste.com, one of my go-to websites for Weight Watchers recipes. Both recipes were slightly modified due to what I had on hand (chicken breasts instead of thighs and fake butter for the mac and cheese) which resulted in lower points.
Baked Chicken with Dijon and Lime - 4 points
Baked Macaroni and Cheese with Broccoli - 3 points

Think I'm gonna make the mac/brocc dish tomorrow. Your chicken looks like Luby's! That's a good thing though.
I loved the mac/broc dish! I kept going back for seconds! I kinda miss Luby's!
