Here I come 2015!!

After a week in the sun drinking mudslides, which my mom informed me were 29 pp each, I needed to get back on track. When I got back Monday I went grocery shopping. I planned what we would be eating this week and planned on taking a lunch every day. Tuesday I had a doctors appointment before work, so I know I would need to have breakfast on the go or at work. I decided to get some Danon Lite n Fit Greek Yogurt (power foods). I ate this for breakfast with a tangerine. I also drank some coffee with french vanilla creamer. For lunch I made a simple salad with lettuce, cucumber, peppers, onion, chick peas and raspberry vinaigrette. I think I was most excited about my dinner. I made a baked sweet potato and topped half of it with ground turkey with taco seasoning, sals
a and some shredded cheese. It was delicious and made with power foods, except the cheese! I took the other half for lunch the next day. Tuesday after work I got myself back to the gym for a tough personal training session since I hadn't done anything for about a week.

Wednesday was New Years Eve. I have never been that big into NYE. Since Andy was working and we still have work today before we can move Monster in, I decided to stay in. I found a recipe for Cranberry Sparklers to make for Andy and I. They were simply blended cranberries, sugar and vodka then topped with a little champagne. Delicious! Thursday I had off of work. I find those days that don't have structure harder to stay on track. We had a lot of errands to run, so we started the day at Dunking Donuts. I for the Turkey Sausage flatbread (7PP) and iced coffee with cream. Later I snacked on some cherry tomatoes and hummus. We ended up making salads for dinner which was perfect.

Friday we went back to an old favorite recipe of ours. Turkey Robinson with baked shroom rice. I had seen this recipe years ago on 5 Ingredient fix and have always loved it. I started substituting the quinoa instead of the rice and kale instead of spinach. These recipes are easy to make and delicious. The turkey Robinson recipe says that it is 4 servings, but I have always gotten 6 servings out of it. If you get 6 servings then each serving is 6PP. The baked shroom rice is 6 servings, each serving being 3PP.

Saturday was a busy day working on the house. We cut baseboards for the guest room, installed a light on the ceiling fan and just worked on little project. I went to weigh in on Saturday since WW was closed Wednesday, my normal weigh in day. I gained 0.8lbs. I look at this as not being too bad since I was eating like it was holiday time. Staying focused again this week and I will go back to regular Thursday posts after my Wednesday meeting!
