Day 4

Ahhhhhhhh!!!!! The other morning when I stepped on the scale the number ended with a 7!! Today it ended with a 0!!!!! I have lost 7 lbs, and it is only day 4! Yay!

I feel wonderful today! I have so much energy! I had to make myself go back to bed this morning! I don't know why I didn't just go ahead and get up! Today will probably be the day that I get my lazy butt up and go walking!

I have been really good food wise today. I ate breakfast, snack, lunch, another snack, and at some point dinner is going to happen! I pretty much just eat the same thing for breakfast and snacks. I change up lunch and dinner. I have actually eaten leftovers for lunch a couple of times this week. I am thinking that Turkey and Black Bean Chili is dinner tonight! I just have to wait for my husband to call and tell me he is on his way home!

Turkey and Black Bean Chili

What you need:
1 lb of ground turkey
2 12oz. cans black beans drained and rinsed
1 28oz can of diced tomatoes
1 Jar of a Thick and Chunky type salsa (Taco Bell makes a really good one, if you can find it!)
1 T. Chili Powder (I never remember to add this-I think it tastes just as good without it!)

Directions
Cook Turkey stirring frequently until brown. Mix in the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes!

**You can add lowfat cheese or sour cream if you like!

Well work was work today. I actually left a couple of hours early from the store I was at because I was finished already. I am a cosmetic supervisor for about 5 (Rite Aid)stores out here in SoCal. Cosmetic Supervisor is a fancy name for someone who goes in and makes the cosmetic department look pretty and answers people's questions. I was an assistant manager back in Tennessee. I am sad to say that I actually have a degree, but I haven't begun to use it yet. I have an English degree from MTSU with a minor in Psychology (I would like to ask that if I have made any grammatical mistakes within writing this blog PLEASE ignore them. I am ashamed to say that I am not proofreading as I go.). I was going to teach, but at the last minute changed my mind. Now that I live in California, I am kind of glad that I didn't go through with the Secondary Ed minor because there is NO WAY I would teach out here! I just need to find something new to do. I kind of wonder if this isn't another good reason to lose some weight. Lose weight for some interviews. I would love some advice on what you guys think I should try for! I am hoping for a human resources position to become available out here for Rite Aid, but it has yet to happen. I would love to be a Talent HR Manager. It is the person who goes out to colleges and recruits people to work for the company. I actually had a Talent Manager in Nashville tell me I would be perfect for the job. I like to think of myself as ridiculously optimistic. I can always find a bright side to things, and I am always smiling, and I can talk to almost anybody!
