Good Morning, y'all!
I hope you are doing well. I am feeling fabulous today. Even though I will be working from 8:30AM-9:00PM. 12.5 hours. That is alright with me. I really want to put a bit of money in savings. You never know in this economy. Nowadays, I save every little penny I can. I used to be a spender, but now, saving really motivates me and makes me feel good about myself.
First things first, MY GIVEAWAY ends tonight at midnight, so go enter!
Also, my lunch for this week has been nothing short of AMAZING. It takes 3 minutes to make. Start with 2 La Tortilla High Fiber Low Carb tortillas. Top each tortilla with 1/2 of a laughing cow cheese(I am in love with the mozerella, sundried tomato and basil one...YUM!). Then, a layer of spinach, a layer of sprouts, and 2 or 3 pieces of turkey. Yum! I eat 2 of these and a cup of frozen grapes and that is what I call PERFECTION! Yum-O!
Say a little prayer for my one year weigh in tomorrow. Will I be under 123, I doubt it, but I will be happy with whatever number I see :)
I really want to change the blog up and have it be about a little more than just weight loss. What topics would you like to see?
Have a great day! See you tomorrow!

Ready For Bed!
How was your day?
Work for me was okay today. Busy at first and then slowed down so that I could play catch up on a few other tasks. I was ready for lunch at 2:00.
Lunch was a repeat from yesterday.
Recycled pic, but I still couldn't find my camera.
After work, I was hungry, but Love was working late and I had some cleaning to do. So, I had a slice of bread with some PB and Jelly. Just a side note, peanut butter has always been my favorite. I read a blogger once who said she only allowed herself peanut/almond butter at 1 meal in the day. I have incorporated that into my life, as well. I could eat it nonstop and I have eaten a full jar before.
I cleaned up around the house and then went to the store.
Once Love got home, we were both ready for dinner. Tonights dinner consisted of a tostada and a side salad.
The tostada had a scoop of beans, hamburger, a little cheese and some peach&mango salsa. My side salad was the usual. Spinach, cherry tomatoes, mushrooms and poppy seed dressing!
I needed a sweet and because I am doing no sweets for a week, I decided fruit was a great choice.
A small handful of grapes and one plum which was SUPER ripe....I love ripe ripe plums!!
Today was a good day. I feel so great and motivated. About to hit 100oz. of water. Another gym workout tomorrow morning. Gonna do an hour of cardio and some weights.
How do you pull yourself out when you are stuck in a diet rut?

Good Afternoon!
Hi Everyone! Here I am again. This will be the only day that I post 3 times a day. I rarely get on the Internet when I am at work, so maybe a morning and evening post or once a day post will be my schedule. We'll see how it shakes out.
Well, I cleaned for about an hour and then Love had a surprise for me!! I packed up another coffee with soy milk and agave nectar.
Onto my surprise...we went to "Bird World Pet Village", a local pet shop! He goes to see fish stuff and I go to see the PUPPIES!, Kitties, and bunnies...Mostly the puppies though. I play with them and pet them, oh be still my frickin' heart. Then, we hit up another fish store. No purchases today though. Couldn't find anything we loved. We left the fish store and decided it was time for lunch.
Luckily, we were right up the street from my favorite sandwich place. "Village Baker" was introduced to my life about 8 years ago and ever since I have gone their all the time. I used to drive 45 minutes to get a sandwich....45 MINUTES! It really is that great.
I typically get the turkey and provolone sandwich on honey whole wheat with mayo/mustard mix, tomato, and iceberg lettuce. However, today I asked for it dry and with no lettuce. I brought it home took one half and topped it with honey mustard and some spinach. It tasted so different without the mustard/mayo mix, but that is NOT a bad thing. I tasted all of the natural ingredients the sandwich had to offer...mostly the provolone! Yum! It made for the perfect lunch.
On the side, I had a single serving of carrots(Costco, I love you even more!), and a half of an apple. Today is going great so far.
I have decided that I am doing the no sweets for a week again. Today is day one. About 20 minutes after I told Love that I was doing it, he does this........
A huge snicker doodle cookie and 2 route 44 slushes from Sonic. Ummm....do you want me to punch you? Ha. Kidding! I didn't actually even think about having either. Go me.
How do you deal with temptation?

Protein!
When we were at Lowe's I spotted the Hungry Girl 200 under 200 cookbook and grabbed up the last copy :) I am so excited to get cookin'!
After Lowe's and a quick stop to get Love a new phone, we went to the local market last night(which is the closest thing I have to a Whole Foods(until next January!!!!)) here in my spot in the US! I picked up some Jay Robb Protein powder packets to try, a suggestion from a "Flat Belly" book of some sort, as I ran out of protein this weekend. The Verdict? Loved it. I added the pouch to my greek yogurt(which next time will be added to something different as the serving size is HUGE!) and it was tasty. My only problem with greek yogurt is the consistency, it's not creamy but rather more chunky and I do not like that. The protein made it so good though for some reason! The kicker was that my breakfast had 38 grams of protein and I read that the average person should have 45g of protein a day. I am excited to go pick up the bigger bottle of protein to have on hand!
I did my first official tempo run today and it was hard, but I killed it. I ran 10 minutes at a 11:19 pace and then 15 minutes at a 10:06 pace. Mentally, I am working on the continuous running. It's hard, because often times, my brain wants to stop when my body wants to continue. I will continuously work on that.
I realized last week and even last night that I have no idea what portion control is, so I pulled out my best buds....the measuring spoons, measuring cups, and my biggest loser scale :). I measured everything for my dinner.
I had 4 oz. chicken
2 cups salad
2 tbsp mango vinagarette dressing
1 cup of broccoli with a sprinkle of cheese
Desert consisted of 1/2 cup peppermint ice cream and vita top chocolate
Today's eats:
Breakfast-1 Chobani Pineapple Yogurt w/ 1/4 cup granola & protein pouch
Lunch-11 oz. shrimp, 2 rings of pineapple, 2 tbsp teriyaki pineapple sauce. All over 1/2 cup jasmine rice. Salad on the side!
I am counting calories starting today. It's time to find new solutions for me, as I know I haven't done the best that I know I can!
