Updated pics

Here are some updated pics! The ones in the dress are from end of May. The one in black peplum and capris is end of June :)

Still around and losing pounds!

Quick little update!
Last weekend was my birthday and I went all out lol. Cake, homemade meal from Nonna, etc. I felt so sick the next day I barely had anything. Won't be doing that again. I'm down 2 more pounds this week! Only 24 lbs to go until I hit pre-Ethan weight :)

New Rules!

Saw Dr. Som last week and she gave me 2 new and important rules I'd like to share with you that have been helping me along the way.
#1: Have a maximum of TWO servings of fruit per day
#2: Whenever you eat a fruit or veggie, eat it with a protein.
I'm down a total of 50lbs as of this morning :-) Only about 26lbs to go to reach my first goal!

Update!

Hello everyone! I was doing the Dukan diet which was great -- I lost 10 lbs in 5 days! Then progress stopped. I went to Dr. Som and she put me on a 14 day cleanse. It consisted of MediClear smoothies 1-3 times per day, no grains, no dairy, no sugar.  She also said my blood pressure was low and gave me some supplements. She checked my cortisol levels and while it is usually through the roof, this time it was at burn out status. I am currently on day 10 of the cleanse and I feel great! I thin I've lost some weight but I asked Joe to hide my scale so I won't know until I see Dr. Som on Tuesday. 

Just wondering who still parts attention to me here lol. If you read the this, please drop me a quick comment so I know :-)
Here is a pic from our wedding in October :-)

Dukan Diet

Here I am again! This time with a new approach. I know, yet another attempt. I see Dr. Som on Tuesday because I'm almost entirely sure that the reason I am yo-yoing is due to my hormones being out of whack.
ANYWAYS, The Dukan Diet. I've already completed the first phase. Thr Attack phase consisted of a pure protein diet. It lasted 5 days and I lost 10 lbs :-) Nice! I am now on the Cruise phase. It consists of alternating your days. One day is Pure Protein (PP) and the next day is Protein + Vegetables (PV).
Hoping I get great results this week!
I leave you with a pic of me and my handsome little guy ♥

Tuna Nuggets

A few weeks ago this post would have been called Tuna Burgers but I have found that forming them into little nuggets make these much easier.
To make tuna nuggets or burgers, you'll need:

1 can of tuna in water (drained)
1 egg
2-3 tbsps of breadcrumbs (I used gluten free)
Salt and pepper

Mix all ingredients together with your hands.
Form burgers or nuggets.
Heat olive oil in a pan and when youre sure it's hot, place burger/nuggets in pan. You want them to sizzle to make a nice crispy outside.
Cook them for a few minutes and flip.
All done! Easy peasy and sooo yummy!
Enjoy! :-D
