Lose Weight

It's time for some of my Favorite things!! as Oprah says!
So I have been doing well, I have A few tips and tricks I've been using to keep from feeling deprived.
I do feel like I've lost weight also, but I haven't weighed yet.
I will, don't worry.
Let me just set a goal right now!!
By next Friday I want to be 105 lbs.

 Tomorrow is a brand new day I'm going to do a liquid fast this weekend.
It should be pretty easy since I got an amazing little devise called a Ninja
                      !
As seen here  V

So I recently made this incredible Recipe which would make a great replacement for Mashed potatoes.
If you like mashed potatoes but don't want all the calories that come with it you can try my Recipe.
Mashed Carrots -
Start by cooking chopped carrots until soft, then put them into the Ninja with a little salt and pepper to taste and There you have it! Very low in calories and taste and texture is similar to mashed potatoes.


OK, so lately I've been experimenting with my new Ninja which I really love because you can also make juice with it (just throw in the fruit, and a little water) also you can add some ice to that to make it a smoothie, so Ninja will help with my liquid fast, but mainly I plan to do water, and coffee, and I'll weight on Monday after the weekend of fasting.

It shouldn't be too hard since I haven't had much of an appetite lately. I haven't been sleeping well either, but all in all I do feel emotionally good. I have started to think about my resolutions for next year which is exciting! What about you? what is yours going to be?

This year mine was to not get into a serious relationship, focus on school, my son, and get into better shape, and this year I have done all of those!

I'm feeling really excited about this weekend, The weather is finally cool, even cold in the morning and evenings, and it feels wonderful! The air is so fresh and so crisp, and I found some delicious pumpkin spice coffee that I have been brewing every morning! Oh I love it so :)



So I also have a tip for salads.
Starting with just lettuce lets estimate you have about 30 calories
Then I suggest making your own dressing so you can really control the calories that go in.
With my Ninja I made a Grilled Pepper dressing that came out really delicious.
I put grilled yellow, green, red peppers, onion, and a little vinegar, and some rosemary to taste. 
 (Vinegar helps cleanse fat, has been proven to help skin conditions from eczema to aging brown spots, and helps fight against food cravings.)
It tastes great and has 10 calories per serving. (A heaping tablespoon)
I suggest using spring mix lettuce for this dressing, It gives it a more nutritious and fuller texture.

So this weekend fast, and weighing in on Monday!
I'll check back probably on Monday and let you know how it went.
