I'm down 3.2 lbs for the week. Something must be working the way it's supposed to!
My BS #'s are decent too. Go, go, go - new way of eating!
We had chinese food last night though. Instead of having an order each, we split one order between us.
I've also decided that as much as I love those burritos we used to get - I won't have another. Found out it's 105g carbs for ONE burrito. Holy cow. That's a lot! I mean, I could cut it in half and eat half... but that's just not any fun! lol
Congratulations on the weight loss!
ReplyDeleteRomaine Hearts are basically the inside leaves of a Romaine lettuce head. (basically Minus the really green leaves) It would be a good way for you to transition from Iceberg lettuce to romaine -- :) As they are crispier than the really green leafy lettuce types.
I recommend doing this though before you get ready to eat:
Pull the leaves off of the core/stem. (or cut the knob off the end) -- then rinse / wash the lettuece and put the leaves in cold water (cut ends down) for about 15-20 minutes before you plan to eat. Then shake the water off the lettuce (or blot them with paper towels if you want-- and then TEAR it up for salad.
:)
If the burritos are from a place where you go to eat ask them if they can put the contents into a bowl without the tortilla. So you end up with a bed of lettuce, the burrito filling of your choice -- and then a little cheese or sour cream and whatever else. :)
"Chipotle" calls it a Burrito Bowl. :D
