Easter Weekend

So we had a family gathering at Nat and KC's house on Saturday, day before Easter. Because the only thing my kids can agree on to eat is Mexican Food. Not very traditional but that is what we did. We had green chili cheese enchiladas, refries, cowboy caviar, chimichangas, chips and salsa. Wow!!! Beats ham dinner anyday. Then we took the kids to the park to do the easter egg hunt. We had about 100 plastic candy filled eggs. The kids went nuts...the idea was that everyone would get 10 eggs each..it worked out pretty good. Then we went back to Nat's for egg spinning contests which was very competitive athoough it didn't start out that way, but ended up with broken eggs, a few x#%*& and in the end Summer Jade won it all. Good Job Nat...that one was fun. We ended by having cake and icecream for Taylor and Tryston. I really need to get back to my regimen I felt like "porky" after the day was done. Yeah!!!! Good times to all.

So I have been real baddddd!!!! I hate blogging however I must admit it is some kind of weird therapy....so here it is....uhhhhh, welllll, hmmmm.....ok all is well...see ya!

My Weekend

Here it is....week 4 and I can now fit in my next size down...albeit a little tight around the waist but the rest fits real nice. I am not as faithful as I should be but I am busting it to reach my goal weight and size...The weekends are usually killers but I do my excercise so I feel like I am at least having some control over my weaknesses.

My Challenge Week 3

Ok so here is my suger saver...when ever I need a treat or something filling I go to this cookie it is called Dr. Mike's Power Cookie. This cookie is only 127 calories, it is fiber filled and can count as 1 protein and 1 starch for the day. I eat it for breakfast, as a midday snack or after dinner dessert rarely. Here is the recipe:
1/3 cup unsweetend applesauce 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
2 tablespoon almod paste 1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon flaxseed oil 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup agave nectar (light or dark) 1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 large egg 1/4 cup vanilla whey powder
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla 2 cups oats
3/4 cup whole wheat flour 1 cup dried cherries ( I use craisens )
10 packets of Truvia 1/2 cup sliced almonds


Heat oven to 350 degrees. Beat together applesauce, almond paste, flaxseed oil, Truvia and agave nectar. Beat in egg and vanila. Mix well. Add flour, baking soda, salt, pepper, and whey powder. Beat thoroughly. Stir in oats, dried fruit and almonds. Mix well. Drop the batter by large tablespoons onto a cookie sheet that has been sprayed with vegetable cooking spray. Divide dough so that you have 18 cookies. Flatten each cookie with the back of the spoon. Bake 16 to18 minutes or until brown. Remove from oven. Cool and store in a plastic container.

Week 3 of my Challenge

Ok so I had a real baaaaaadddddd week last week. But I fullfilled my goal for the week and took off to Tucson to see my BFF from 6th grade. She lives in Wyoming but has a fabulous place in Marana by the Tortalita Mountains. We always have fun and fun I did have. So I am ready to get back in the saddle and continue on my challenge. Blogging is not my thing so I find it very hard to keep up with my journal, however it does keep me on task and I feel better once I have done this. So until tomorrow!!!!

Challenge Day 6

Well it's Saturday and the challenge is going to be real tough as there is nothing to really keep my mind off of snacking on sweets. But after I had my shower I thought I would put on my caprice jeans and see if I could fit in them. Yeah! They fit!!! So I thought they were 14's and I was pretty happy because they fit pretty decent. I couldn't get in to them before, when I checked the size I was amazed to find out that they were really 12's. It's been 6 years since I was a 12. They are 12 mediums but I don't care...so now I am truly a believer in healthy eating and excercising. I am not going backwards I am going forward and downward....

Day of 5 o My Challenge

Wow!!! What a day....All I am saying is that "TGIF" and I did not cheat....yet! Hang in everyone we do have the weekend....lol
