As I walked through the door of her house, she had the biggest smile on her face. The first thing she said to me, as she gave me a hug was, "You look great!!" It was awesome to hear her say that. She has gone through a lot, watching me slowly gain weight and spiral out of shape. I really wanted to show her that her love and constant caring has helped me turn my life around. And of course I owe a big part of that to all of you as well!!! Anyway, my mother cooked an amazing healthy meal tonight for dinner. She also took the time today to purchase fruit and vegetables from the farmers marketing in her town for my fiancee and I to take home with us. Like I just mentioned before, she follows the blog everyday and I personally think she takes notes and jumps at the opportunity to help me in any way she can. I can't tell you how great it feels to be surrounded with great people in my life. I have an amazing family and of course and amazing support group around me.
Before we left for my mother's house this morning, I wanted to make sure that I stayed on track according to the new meal and workout structures I developed last Sunday. They seemed to have worked this past week because I managed to lose over 2 1/2 lbs. By losing over 2 lbs, I brought my totally weight loss to 30 lbs since the start of my mission!!! See, I told you hard work and being patient pays off. Let's keep it going!!! Anyway, determined to stick to the new structures, I went to the gym as soon as I woke up. Then I came home, ate breakfast, and went straight to the food store to stock up on what was needed for the meals of this week. It was my fiance's turn to pick the meals and I am excited with what she has picked. When all is said and done, today was a great day. I saw my mother for the first time since I started my mission, I had a great workout this morning, and I am prepared to hit the ground running this week with my meals and my workout routine all set. I am pumped, bring on Monday!!!!
With that being said, let's get to the details of the day:
Meals of the Day (The Heavy Man - 40 Points)
