2 Week Weigh In!

So yesterday I got weighed in, and I lost 1lb and over 8 inches during the last week! Seeing those numbers drop make me really happy! Its been a bit tougher going throughout my day, while family around me is buying chips and soda and cookies and stuff, but when i step on that scale and get measured it makes everything worth it to see those numbers go down. Just the FEELING of losing weight alone is worth it to me. I've been heavy since my teenage years (skinny little thing during childhood) and I'm tired of being this way. I'm ready for a new me, a new look at life, and a new appreciation for my body. I have had a few people tell me already that my face is looking thinner then before! so that made my day :) I tried two new smoothie ideas that i had rolling around in my mind, one is a chocolate peanut butter banana smoothie. i just used both chocolate shake mix, and protein mix, added a banana, and a scoop of peanut butter along with 1% milk and plain yogurt and some ice. and let me tell you... i think its my new favorite!! I ran out of chocolate shake mix though (it was just a sample packet) but i ordered more 2 new flavors, the dutch chocolate and cookies and cream! im excited to try them!! The other shake i tried is banana split. I use the wild berry shake mix and chocolate protein mix and then i added a half of a frozen banana, about a handful of frozen strawberries then i added about a capful of vanilla flavoring and cherry extract. It was delicious!! Im always looking for new ideas for making shakes, i want to try adding some pumpkin from a can or w/e to my shake and kinda try to make a pumpkin pie smoothie, im still elaborating on that one tho. kinda afraid to use the pumpkin haha! but i love pumpkin pie so im def. gonna try it out... If you have any other ideas or suggestions like that PLEASE leave me a comment!! thank you!!
