Crazy Night

Well it was one crazy night to say the least.  My husband came home from work a bit early becuase there were some large F4 tornadoes south of us and heading our way.  Anyway, once all that died down we ate dinner and settled in for the night.  Well fast forward a couple of hours and we're in the middle of a lovely thunderstorm, it's hailing, and we're in a tornado warning when suddenly the house starts shaking.  Yep, earthquake right in the middle of it.  Awesome.  Soon after that the neighborhood's power went out, but miraculously our house didn't.

Anyway, all in all it wasn't a bad night diet-wise. I've still got plenty of that taco soup left, and since it's so tasty I've been eating it up for lunch and dinner.  For snack later I made a peanut butter, banana, chocolate shake, which is not healthy but it very yum.

I've been watching what I eat for a week now, and while I gained a little over the weekend, I've still managed to lose 2.2 lbs this week.  Since a healthy weightloss is considered anywhere between 1 and 3 lbs a week, I'm feeling pretty good about that.  I haven't gone to extremes and cut carbs or fruits and veggies or anything complete out of my diet, but I've exercised moderation and self control and wouldn't ya know it works :)  If I'm able to keep this up, I should hit my 10lb goal by the first Tuesday in December.  This is a good thing.

Anyway, I'm feeling good but I do want to increase my veggies to get more fiber into my diet, so that's my focus for this week: Continue to eat healthy and add more fiber into my diet.  Oh, and I want to start working out a bit more.
