Pushing Myself At The Gym Really Helped

After 2 weeks of no results I put it in high gear at the gym trying out a more challenging cardio machine and increasing my time on it throughout the week. It paid off with a 3.6 pounds weight loss. I even ate out last night and had lasagna this past week. My son recently asked me to make lasagna, so I decided to play around with the traditional recipe and created a lower fat version that is less than 400 calories per serving and fantastic! My husband and the kids are still talking about how good it is and they had it a couple of days ago. I used ground bison meat instead of sausage or regular ground beef. Bison has much less fat and calories than beef. I also used low fat ricotta and low fat mozzarella. Here's the recipe (click on it to make it larger). If you decide to try it, please let me know what you think. Take care.

Staying on Track

The weight is steadily coming off. I have started going to the gym on a regular basis. I've designated the time after dinner as my gym time and take along my 8 year old daughter that has started exercising along with me and my 15 year old son decided to go last night as well. I make sure I have a very light dinner. My heavier foods are eaten earlier in the day. At the gym, I spend about 20-30 minutes walking briskly around the indoor track, then 20-30 minutes on the stationary bike. I leave there very sweaty and it feels so good!
