30th post!

This week marks my 30th post on the blog and today marks the beginning of birthday month. I am proud of myself for being able to keep up with this for the past 30 weeks. I had a great non-scale victory this week. I bought a dress for the rehearsal dinner. I ordered the size that I usually wear. I got it all excited and tried it on. It was too big! So I ordered a size smaller and am going to see how that one works out. My goal for this week is to get in more days at the gym and also stay on track during the weekend. I also want to post some more pictures of meals this week.

Thursday - I have been on a real egg kick lately. I made another breakfast burrito with salsa and guacamole on it. For lunch I went out with a bunch of co-workers. I got a salad with chicken, corn, dates, almonds and cornbread croutons. I totally overestimated the points, because it would have been really hard to get an accurate guess. For dinner Andy grilled up some steaks and bok choy. We then went to one of our favorite bars to meet up with a friend that is in town from Texas.

Friday - For breakfast I made a breakfast sandwich with egg whites, some cheese and an english muffin. I grabbed two oranges as I was walking out the door to make sure I had healthy snacks during the day.

Saturday - For breakfast I made what I am calling Mexican Eggs Benedict. I toasted up an english muffin (3PP). Then I poached two eggs (4PP). Once my english muffin was toasted, I sliced up half of an avocado and put the slices on top of the english muffin. I then topped with the poached eggs and salsa (0PP).

Sunday -  I made mexican eggs benedict again. For dinner I grilled up some chicken and roasted sweet potatoes and broccoli.

Monday - Breakfast was a quick egg sandwich on an english muffin. Lunch was chicken with roasted broccoli and sweet potatoes. For snacks I brought sliced red peppers, and orange and an apple. For dinner Andy wanted corned beef and cabbage, so he made corned beef and cabbage. Unfortunately the corned beef wasn't quite ready by dinner time, so our dinner consisted of red potatoes, cabbage and carrots all roasted

Tuesday - I made an egg sandwich for breakfast. A very simple english muffin with an egg on it. Lunch was leftover chicken, roasted potatoes and roasted carrots. I also brought some sliced peppers, apple and orange for a snack. Dinner was corned beef and cabbage. Andy and I brewed another beer for the wedding. We need to start coming up with names for wedding beers

Making a Hoppy Brown Ale

Wednesday - I was a bit off my game this morning. I didn't make breakfast before I went to work which is always a dangerous start to the day. When I got to work I made a mocha and started drinking water. Since I had to jump on a call right away, I didn't have time to grab breakfast.

Weigh-In update: As of last week I was within the 2 pounds of my Lifetime goal, from when I was lifetime years ago. So As of this week I converted over Lifetime. How this works is I will be weighing in once a month and need to be no more and 2 lbs from my goal weight, if I am not within that range I will have to pay. So starting this week I will only post weigh in's once a month. I will continue to post weekly and update everyone on recipes and healthy living tips.
