Holding Steady

First of all, I am happy to say that I am holding steady at 152.8!  That's a good sign, right?


I started the day off on Saturday with a yummy bowl of Oatmeal, topped with Pineapple and Cherries.  If you haven't tried this oatmeal combo yet, you are missing out.  YUM YUM YUM YUM.

I worked out about an hour afterward (burned 200 calories in 28 min!  NICE!), and made myself a MASSIVE salad.

Topped with black beans and avo-  oh sooooo good.  Paired with pineapple and one of Averie's Peanut Butter Protein babies, it was the lunch-o-champions!

After lunch, I ran out and did some errands all over town.  So much for a relaxing Saturday!!  Once returning home, I decided to get a little creative with dinner.  Still having a fridge full of lettuce, and being semi-tired of salads, I created a Quinoa Salad that rocked my face off!!

I cooked the Quinoa according to the package directions, then drained it and tossed in Broccoli, Lettuce, Garlic, and some Brown Mustard.  Stirred it all together and that's what it looked like!  SOOOOO yummy, if you like Mustard.  Brenton wasn't a fan-  he doesn't like Mustard, so the next time I make it, I'll leave the sauce off.

I also had an Orange and an Oatie....





























mmmmmmm Oatie...

By about 8pm, I was hungry again.  This is what working out does to you, I swear!!  So, I had a piece of Sprouted Whole Grain toast with Peanut Butter and an Apple topped with Cinnamon.

I feel like I'm eating a TON!  But, the combo of low calorie foods and exercise will do that to you I guess.  I am happy to say, though, that today (Sunday), I weighed in at.... are you ready for it???....


151.6!  (whoooo hoooooo dance dance dance spinnnnnnn jump jump)

On the up and up!

Hi everybody!  Sorry I have been MIA for the last day or so-  summer has hit me with a BANG!  Running here, running there, doing this, doing that.  PHEW!

So here's an update!  Friday, I weighed in at 152.8!!  (dances)

For breakfast, I had the breakfast cookie-o-champions:

Massive.  I used Gina's recipe, and then added a little more oats and replaced the nut butter with a little bit of chia seeds.  OH and topped it with a ton of cinnamon.  Yum to the max.


Lunch was about the same as the day before, a TJ's Tortilla (whole wheat, of course) topped with Avocado, Lettuce, Salsa, and my dad added a Tomato.


















And a nice juicy Apple with Almond Butter (oops, forgot to take a picture of the AB.... oh well, you know what it looks like HAHA)

All day I was GIDDY because our CSA was going to start!  I went to my sister's house and picked up this week's shipment-  Organic Greens and Organic
Cherries.  FAB!!!

And some of HEAB's Oaties hiding underneath.  My sister won her Oaties from Angela's Shop 4 A Cause a few weeks ago, and she was kind enough to share with her oat-loving sister.  How nice!


I had to try one!















Pure....heaven.....

So, since we had massive amounts of Lettuce and Cherries, I decided to make a Stuffed Potato and have a CUP of Cherries on the side.  MMMMMmmmmm....

For my Stuffed Potato, I baked a Potato and cut it in half, then topped it with a HUGE handful of Lettuce, a chopped Celery stalk, steamed Broccoli, and a dab of Salsa.  This is one of my favorites.  FILLING!!

Are you participating in a CSA this year?  How about going to Farmers Markets?  I'm excited to see what we get next week!!

Have a LOVELY rest of your Sunday!
