Hola chicas?
Donde estamos?

Okay that's all I can figure out in my middle school spanish
and shit...I have kids in middle school now!

I've personally realized that many of the foods I have to eat due to my gluten intolerance (well I don't HAVE to eat them but the choices that i'm limited to by my gluten intolerance) are much higher in calories...
so even when i follow a "menu" I'm still racking up extra calories because my ingredients are just higher in calories
ugh

so this week i've been mindful of not just menu honesty
but caloric intake within that menu
so sometimes instead of a sandwich (2 slices) I'm only allowed an open face (coz gluten free bread is heavy on the calories!)
We've been "skinnyswitching" in our house
I like the premise
I've been doing it with my daughter
working awesome for her...she's lost 7 lbs (her goal was to lose 8...she's a tween)

I was doing well for a while but plateaued after about 6 or 7 lbs
so i started digging a little deeper and realized that even following plan...i'm not within my caloric limits
so we'll see what happens this week.

And YOU? where are you?
:)
