I’m meelllllltiiiiing!
Teehee! So today I was standing in the lunchroom at work and a woman (a very skinny tall woman!) who I work with came up to me and said “Kari, every week I see you & you’re tinier then before. It’s like you’re melting away!” :D That was a very nice compliment to receive! I will note that I am wearing my “skinny” jeans today, and for the first time in a long time, there’s wiggle room in there - they’re definitely not skintight! Yaaaaaay! So with that positive reinforcement in mind, I have even more incentive to stay focused and get to my goal.

I tried a new kind of frozen lunch today, Kashi is now making frozen lunch entrees. I found them in the health food section of my grocery store, near the boca burgers & stuff like that. I only bought two because they were $4 each, which seemed a little steep, but I figured I would give them a try. So here’s my review!

I had the “Pesto Pasta Primavera”, which is vegetarian. It has whole wheat penne pasta, yellow carrots, red peppers & peas in a basil pesto sauce with paremsan cheese. And it was Yummmmmmmy! It’s about the same amount of calories as one of my normal Lean Cuisine or Healthy Choice entrees (290), but it’s a bigger portion - 10oz, vs. 8.5 in the Lean Cuisines. It has 11g of protein & 7g of fiber, too! I normally don’t care for whole wheat pasta, when I cook it at home it tastes kind of rubbery (I might just be cooking it wrong). So I was skeptical about this, but it was sooooooooooooooooo delicious! The pesto was really tasty & the pasta was actually tender & good! I highly recommend giving the Kashi frozen thingies a try! I probably won’t buy them for every day, due to the price, but maybe treat myself to one a week.

I have an intense strength training workout planned for tonight, I’m going to use my hand weights in front of the TV while I watch my Tivo’d episodes of “House” and “Lost”. It’s what I call “active couch potato-ing”. ;-) Have a great Thursday, buddies!

Congratulations! It’s always nice when others notice the progress you’ve made. I thought the episode of house was really good. I’ll be watching Lost tonight as well.
I’m sure you look wonderful Kari. I love Kashi cereal but I’m not a frozen food meal person…I love to cook so I’ve never had a frozen meal (I have no idea what a Lean Cuisine Meal tastes like
)…..but if it’s by Kashi, it’s probably good. You go on with that weight training tonight!! You’ll have a great time, specially if your arms are shaking after you’re done. 
I so love Lost!!! That is a great idea to do weights while watching tv!! Nice to get those compliments!!! I am sure you look GREAT!!!
Super compliment!!!
Thanks for the feedback on the Kashi meals.. Yeah I eat a lot of those lately.. I dont wanna only cook for one ya know
Keep on bringing sexy back! (Even though it never left)
Yea, skinny jeans! Way to work it.
I love it when people compliment me on my noticeable weight-loss, so I am thrilled for you!! It means your hard work is paying off!
Thanks for the tip on the Kashi frozen meals, I’ll be sure to give them a try!
Congrats, girlie! I just love those kinds of compliments! Keep that fire burning, and you’ll keep melting!!!

Hey Kari- You are doing great! A lot of times I read about you working out on your lunch break, Do you get long lunches or something? How do you deal with being all sweaty and then going back to work? Any tips you can give me would be great because you have kinda inspired me to get my butt moving during my lunches too! Good luck on your workout tonight!
Thanks for the info about the Kashi meals. I’ll have to try ‘em. I know it felt great for that lady to say you were melting away. You should have told her “just like sugar when it rains”
You keep up the great work with your “skinny jeans” wearing self!
