A day away

My second weigh in, and third week on this journey, is tomorrow. Today when I got dressed I had picked up a pair of pants I love but that are very tight in the thigh. I should have said were very tight. They were actually loose. For the first time in years I have tried on a loose pair of pants.
I made a "green soup" or Sopa Verde tonight for the week, I find having a soup around that I can eat makes lunch quicker and easier. I basically made a chicken broth and added almost everything green I found in the grocery store: 1 leek, 1 poblano pepper, 1 cup of freshly hulled green peas, 1 bunch of swiss chard, (I bought frozen beans but just remembered them, will add them as I heat up the soup during the week) and 2 small zuccini. Pepper, butter, oil, a dash of salt and voila! Soupa Verde.

While grocery shopping I caught my reflection in the glass. As great as I feel about loosing weight, I must not loose sight of the fact that I have more than just 3 kilos to loose. Many, many more than just three.
