Lifestyle Change for Two, Please!: Extra Extra! Read All About It!!

Hello fellow followers!! It has been a bit of time since I have been on here and I realize I owe you some explanation. Over the past year I have been traveling an hour back and forth to work in order to meet some family needs. In September my new residence became an hour away from my facility but I still traveled back and forth mainly because I am scared of change. So, over the past couple weeks I have been looking for new jobs but mostly focusing on a transfer. The great news is I did get the transfer, I get to spend less money on gas, less time driving, and less wear and tear on my car! The bad news is I am going into new territory and most of all leaving a big group of people who over time has become my family! So today was bittersweet to me to say the least(more about this later). In conclusion Mike and I did celebrate to my new transfer and this bittersweet situation!

Now enough of this sad stuff! I have to say I was quite pleased with my weight loss,because I have no clue how I lost it. I still am not exercisng at all but this will change tomorrow as I will be going back to the college gym! I am excited! On a negative note my lower back has been literally killing me and I am afraid I will have to go to a chiropractor, which puts a damper on moving around because it does hurt tremendously!

So here are my goals for this week:
Exercise two times for at least 30 minutes each.
Research more about coconut oil and possibly buy some (more about that tomorrow)
Stretch every day before and after work.

I would really like to lose 3 pounds again next week but honestly I will take what I am given.....

Now since it has been so long since we last spoke, I have some fun pictures to share with you!!!

Tonight's Dinner: 20 Clove Chicken

This delicious crock pot dinner contained chicken with white wine, oregano, crushed red peppers, sweet basil, cayenne pepper, black pepper, celery, onions, carrots, lemon juice, and 20 cloves of garlic! It was super easy, just put it all together, throw it in the crock pot, and than come home to a delicious meal!!! On top of that the entire meal was a whopping 170 calories!!!(and there's enough leftover for 2 meals)

This is Mike and I on Valentines day at Zia`s Italian restaurant! I just thought it would be neat to show some pictures of us dressed up and also how far we have come!!! I adore this picture of us. On a positive side, I haven`t been able to fit into this dress for over 3 years!
