Why I'm Breaking Up With Carbs...

My low carb journey to weight loss!
I'm addicted to fried foods, and things smothered in chili and cheese! It doesn't help that I'm from TEXAS, home of the Fried everything! I'm 5'5 and my goal is to lose about 75lbs. AND I'm getting married next October and I want to look fabulous in a wedding dress!!
I'm blogging the entire experience here. Now for most, this would be easy, buy some veggies, grill your chicken and beef for the week for lunch, dinner, etc. But here is the thing, I do NOT cook, ever! Which is probably the main reason why I'm where I'm at, I lived off of fast food, and I still do. I eat out every single day of the week, so it's a bit more challenging for me to be on this new low carb diet. Oh yeah, it's not a diet, it's a "lifestyle change". I have the help of my wonderful boyfriend who decided he'd join me on this journey. Hope you enjoy reading my blog! xoxo Gina

Wednesday 1/16/13

Today I was up at 6am full of energy, thanks to the sleep aide I took last night, which was good because I had a lot of running around to do today. I had lunch at chick fil a, I usually order a bun-less grilled chicken club, it comes wrapped in lettuce, cheese, tomato, pickle and bacon. But today I just went with a bun-less grilled chicken burger with extra pickles, no tomato, wrapped in lettuce (which Chick Fil A doesn't ever mind doing) and then I mix a packet of mayo and a packet of mustard and use it as a dipping sauce for my chicken. If I have the luxury of sitting down inside to eat or even eating as a passenger in the car, then I'll usually order a side salad. Today I just stuck with burger and tea, sweetened with one packet of sweet n low. We got a late start to dinner tonight, setting up my new scanner and my super slow laptop= us leaving for dinner@ 8:30, so we decided to go to Applebee's, they are open late and I've been meaning to scope out their new healthy menu items. I didn't really see anything that caught my eye, must of the meals were spicy and had shrimp. (I do not eat seafood except for tuna fish.) So I decided on my favorite meal pretty much anywhere which is a grilled chicken salad. I have yet to taste a bad chicken Caesar salad and Applebee's did not disappoint! It was so delicious, I practically licked the plate clean! The picture below does not do the salad justice!!
