Two Week Weigh In & Breakfast

I'm down 10.2 lbs... :) Nine days left until official first month weigh in.  (I weighed in late, so I'll only be 3 weeks in, while everyone else is four weeks. 

Today for breakfast:

1 cup cooked oats
1/2 ounce (about 7) almonds, chopped
2 Tbs dried cranberries
1 Tbs raw honey
1 Tbs cream (oh yum!)
400 calories/ 10.5 grams fat/ 8 WW points (high fiber, but also higher in HEALTHY fat)

What I'm drinking... WATER.  Occasionally I'm mixing in some Crystal Light Pure Fitness (15 cals/serving) or adding a squeeze of lemon. 

Do I miss soda?  Nope.  Amazing.

10 lbs down...

I cheated (are you surprised?) and stepped on the scale this morning.  I'm down exactly 10 lbs in 13 days. 

*Doing a little victory dance*

I'm really trying to focus on the positive... this is working.   If I stop to think long enough (or look in the mirror long enough) I get distracted by how far I still have to go.

I'm looking forward to my first official weigh in on May 8th.

My Nourishing breakfast this morning (and yes, I do measure my portions):

1 whole wheat english muffin
1 egg, over medium w/ pepper & Celtic sea salt
1 tsp REAL butter
2 Tbs grated mozzarella cheese
270 calories/ 13.5 grams REAL fat
