11 pounds down

I am right on target for losing 16 pounds before vacation! I've lost 11 pounds so far so it is very doable! 
It really is all about time and food prep for me, I have to make it a priority!
I've been eating yummy things like this:
Cottage cheese salad! This is 1/2 cup of cottage cheese for 110 cals and I add in cucumbers, onions, tomatoes and salt and pepper! This is super filling!
This is a 300 calorie lunch! 1 cup of Lima beans for 220 calories and corn on the cob is 90-100 calories depending on size.  I use calorie free spray butter an salt and pepper!
Mexican food is our favorite! The meal above around 325 cals an I also had a fajita burrito. I wanted a lil something else after this so I got a small tortilla for 100 cals and I boiled down strips of peppers and onion and filled the tortilla with peppers, lettuce, salsa, and a lil of the sour cream above! That was a filling 425 calories!
After I was "violated" at the doctor yesterday, (that's what my dad would always say when he had a procedure)
My procedure was borderline outpatient surgery but the dr thought he could successfully do everything in the procedure room. And he did! He is a great doctor! 
I treated myself to a lil shopping! I NEVER shop for myself. EVER!  Several reasons for that, A-money doesn't grow on trees, B- it's more fun to buy for the kids, and C-if I'm being honest most stuff that is size 16 or larger just isn't as cute as the Aero clothes or the cute brand name stuff! 
I'm now in all size 14's. a week ago I had to try on 14's. not all fit, now they all fit. I was at old navy yesterday and I tried on a size 12, they buttoned and zipped and looked fine to wear out in public!
I LOVED this outfit! The shorts were 3 inches which is too short for my chunky thighs! I did buy the shirt!
I'm really sad I didn't buy this dress! I may see if Nana will buy it for me for my bday! I didn't realize it looked so good until I pondered it all night!
I also got a cute bandana print shirt at old navy, and two pair of 5 inch shorts!
I did go ahead and buy the size 14's, they were a lil big. I hope I don't regret not buying the size 12's!

My wardrobe in the past has always been, athletic shorts and tee shirts, well now that is over! Cute clothes here I come!!!
