Week 1!

Well -- this week was good and bad. I did really well on eating, uuuuntil this weekend.

First -- the good. I went to the grocery store and bought food for the apartment. I bought ingredients for easy recipes that I could either make individual servings of, or recipes that would hold up for a day or two so that I would have food:) I only bought fruit and these cinnamon-apple Quakes things that were AMAZING (and surprisingly healthy!! I didn't know it before I got them!) I did super well! I only drank water and milk(except for once when I forgot and got a diet coke at a restaurant). I am having a tough part with the milk part. I used to love drinking it, but it is super hard right now.. not sure why! I also bought a cookbook that has super delicious/healthy food that is easy to make. I make a chicken recipe out of it which was okay. Tim loved it -- I would eat it again, but change some things about it. I also found a chocolate chip cookie recipe that was AMAZING. It took less than five minutes to make them and then throw them in the oven. They were DELICIOUS. Possibly the best chocolate chip cookies I've ever had, and they were healthy!

Well -- now the bad. As we all know, the weekends are usually the hardest to stay dedicated. Had I stayed home I would have been fine, but I went to Wilmington with Tim for his sister-in-law "ish"'s graduation. Well, that means cookouts, dinners, yatta yah. I did my best. I didn't go overboard, but I also didn't do as well as I should have. I couldn't say no to strawberry shortcake -- or to two yeast rolls instead of one. Dang cookouts! That's my favorite kind of food -- so of course it would be the hardest to say "No way, Jose!" to. Oh well -- c'est la vi.

Well -- in all, I've lost .5lb! Woooo! Exciting. Tim's parents proposed a little friendly competition. We're going to see who can lose the most weight in TWO WEEKS. Soo-- here we go!! There really isn't a prize -- just bragging rights I suppose.

Well -- that's that!! Any recipe suggestions from anyone?

Thanks for the tips Puebar!!

Back to cleaning!
