Halfway there

I know that it has been a while, but school has been crazy. The good news is that I still have stayed on track with my weight loss goal. As of today I have lost 16 pounds since June. The best part is that people are noticing the change. When I saw my friend at the start of the semester, that was the first thing that she noticed.
I haven't been able to do as much yoga as I would like, but the walking back and forth to campus is helping. There are days that I have walked 3 miles.
The one thing that I have noticed is the change that I have noticed is the appetite. Ever since I started, I try and eat a small meal every 3 hours. Then when I start to eat a larger meal, I notice that I get fuller quicker.
The nutribullet that I got have helped a great deal. I try to have one every weekday. It is a great way to get fruits and veggies. The best one that I made had:

  • kale
  • banana
  • peaches
  • raspberries
  • oatmeal
  • coconut water
The coconut water is great! It sweetens the drink, but doesn't have all the calories of orange juice.
I have found that cooking myself helps. I usually make enough that will last me a few days. one of my favorite things is to saute peppers, onions, and mushrooms. It is great with just about any dish.
I also have made meatloaf cupcakes. They are small and are a descent size to have a couple as a meal.
One meal that I want to try soon is a Quinoa Enchilada Casserole with chicken.
