My favorite protein shake
By far. I was having trouble getting the PB2 to blend but turned by Vitamix higher than normal for a bit & fixed that problem!
Starting the week right!
After a very hectic weekend, I am starting this week out with as positive an outlook & plan as I can manage.
Breakfast is an egg sandwich as usual.
Meals are planned. I downloaded a meal plan but used white stickers to cover the meals that wouldn't work for our family & added a few that would.
Focuses for the week:
- drink water
- apple/day
- clean eating as much as I can
Goal- 2 pounds weight loss.
Most excited that our gym reopens so my workout schedule will go back to normal! Yay!!!
How about you?

A crazy day
So, yesterday simply didnt go as planned to the tune of ending with an overnight ER stay with one of our kids.
But, I tried to not let that be an excuse to make bad choices.
Breakfast- sandwich just like yesterday
Lunch- protein bar on the go between dr office & hospital.
Dinner- hubby brought Chipotle (nakes burrito bowl with pork, cheese & beans with chips).
Who knows what today will bring. I am hoping my own bed and a glass of wine before bed.
The good news is I weighed in yesterday morning & last week, surpassed my 2 lb goal- I lost 3! Here's to another great week after we get home!

Turkey Meatloaf & Roasted Broccoli
Ok, this is another time I deserve props. I had to eat my (admittedly small) serving of broccoli fast. It was all I could do not to gag in front of the kids. My husband likes broccoli & said it was delicious, as do all of the recipe reviewers. I'm just a big kid.
Turkey Meatloaf (adapted with no onion)
Recipe:
Mashed sweet potato with butter, brown sugar & cinnamon (a little goes a long way!)
Roasted broccoli

It's so easy to let a holiday interfere with your goals. But what will make you happy long term? A hot dog or fitting back in to your per-baby clothes?
Breakfast:
Egg, cheddar (ultra thin slice) on Orowroot double fiber muffin
Coffee with Natural Bliss creamer
Cals: 295
Have a healthy day!!!

Lunch time!
Today, my breakfast took a lot of my calories (400 so on a 1200 day goal, that's 33%!).
I am glad I didn't stop for coffee after an awesome workout (although I did think about it).
Today, I actually had double the crackers & laughing cow shown here. I was hungry ;)
Cals: 435
I am planning Chicken Bake for dinner & it has 291 cals/ serving.
Recipe here:
On the topic of exercise, I had a big accomplishment! I was able to do a portion of our RIPPED workout for the first time since I started about a year ago. Push up, brazillian kick, under the bridge. I did the first 2 reps without going to my knees. I am getting STRONG, not just skinny & it feels great!!!
