I Love Getting Healthy!

I know I am a nerd, but I am really enjoying getting healthy.  I have found a few things to be true:
1.  Counting and remembering calories has become so easy to do.  It is almost scary how I remember the calories to all sorts of things.  I think I am scaring my husband a little bit! :)
2.  Measuring food isn't as hard as I thought it would be.  When I started I would always think that a certain amount would never be enough.  Now I am realizing that measuring it out allows me to have a lot of the things I love, just in a healthier way.
3. I love walking and jogging again.  I have also figured out that getting a minimum of 10,000 steps a day is easy and really helps!
4. One cheat a week is awesome!!!  I look forward to having a meal that I really love, but don't even think about the calories!  It is also a great reward for doing good all week.
5.  Losing weight feels great!!!!!!  I have already lost 10 pounds this month by eating smart and healthy and walking or jogging. 
If you are trying to eat healthy and lose weight...I hope this encourages you!

French Dip Crescent Rolls

Last night I was looking for something good, healthy and easy to make for dinner.  So I headed to Pinterest and found this great recipe from www.mamalovesfood.com.

What you need:
Crescent Rolls
Roast Beef (I went to the deli and used 1 pound)
Reduced Fat Provolone Cheese

I started by laying out the crescent rolls.
I then added a piece of roast beef and a half of a slice of provolone cheese.








I then rolled them up....
and put them on the pan.
I cooked them for 10-15 minutes at 375.









I then added some Special K Sour Cream and Onion Cracker Chips for a yummy dinner.

My crescent rolls ended up being 165 calories a piece. :)

Love my Fitbit!

We all have favorite things in our everyday life...One of my favorite things is my Fitbit.  My sister-in-law gave everyone a Fitbit for Christmas.  I now love it and don't go anywhere without it!  I am working really hard to be Healthy and this helps me a lot.  I can see how many steps I am taking, the miles, the calories I am burning, how active I am and even how well I am sleeping.  You can even set goals and log your food from your computer or iPhone.  I am super competitive so I love trying to reach my goals each day.  I also like beating my husband! :)  Hopefully this will continue to help me in my quest to be healthy and lose some weight.  I will keep y'all posted!
