some basil from my garden! I told the husband this while walking out the door. I love love love having a garden even if it is in pots.
I also picked another cucumber 🙂
Tonight was penne pasta with tomato basil marinara sauce (I had to make alfredo for the husband since he doesn’t like “red sauce”). I made salads with a lettuce mix, blue cheese and I had fat free balsamic vinaigrette, and the husband had ranch (picky much?). Anyway…
3/4 uncooked penne (serving size)= 1 cup cooked penne
Italian Chicken Sausage (5 links)/ 5 servings
1/2 cup marinara sauce
salad with ff dressing and blue cheese (40 calories)

I also hard boiled 6 eggs for quick protein. 70 calories per egg. Boiled like this: How to make the best hard boiled eggs
I then went to Body Pump. Surprisingly, my dinner didn’t feel like a rock in my stomach! The squat track was super hard tonight. My quads are still burning!

Before dinner, around 3, I had a cup of red pitted cherries. Eating them like this is easy because you can put the stem and pit back in the cup.
Calorie Count: about 84
I finished the night off with satisfying a killer chocolate craving!

Notice that I do not subtract the amount of calories I burn during class from my calorie intake. It just makes me aware of it. It also makes me feel like I can have treats because I worked out. Not because “I deserve it,” but because I burned calories and can eat more calories. I hate when people get into the “I deserve it” mindset. It gets you into trouble. You shouldn’t eat like a pig because you think you “deserve it” after working out, but you can eat portioned treats and enjoy yourself without guilt.

Today is a little strange. I had some comp time built up at work and had to take it. I went in from 8:15-10 and then came home. It feels like I’m skipping school!
This morning I ate a banana with chocolate pb in the middle.
Calorie Count: 190
I did laundry, cleaned the fridge and freezer out and picked up around the house. Whew did my refrigerator need to be cleaned out. I also checked all of the expiration dates and cleaned out things that were close to expiring.
At 12:30 I stopped and made lunch.
A turkey sandwich on TJ’s high fiber bread with roasted turkey and muenster cheese.
And 10 baked salt and vinegar chips.
Calorie Count: 370
My bananas were on their last leg so I peeled and chopped them up. I put them in the freezer to use for smoothies later.
Off to fold laundry and watch “The Office.”

So I started out at 154.8 (give or take a few ounces) and I am now down 7 pounds!! Woo hoo! All of that working out is starting to pay off!

We have a birthday cookout tonight at Tara’s parent’s house tonight which will include cornhole and probably hot dogs and hamburgers. There will be a lot of the husbands coworkers there so it should be a lot of fun!
For lunch I had a coupon for a free salad from McDonald’s so I got it to go. I got the Southwest Grilled Chicken Salad with Southwest Dressing.

Sorry I have been MIA for 2 days, the cold caught up to me and I have been feeling blah lately. So here is a recap:
Thursday
For breakfast I had a sandwich thin with almond butter and honey.
Calorie Count: 195
For lunch I had left over fajitas.
100 calorie cheese its, 100 calorie doritos ( I can’t remember if I ate both of these or not)
Calorie Count: maybe 500?
I went to work and then to a bridal shower (at work) and then out for margaritas. Whew, it was a busy day. The bridal shower was so cute! It was princess themed. Our music teacher at work is getting married in June. She is a very sweet girl and I couldn’t be happier for her. Also, I won two games! I won a sticker book and cute magnetic notepad and then a candle from Ulta.
There was a princess castle cake. It was huge and so were the pieces. I only ate about half of mine. It was pretty rich. Then my coworker and I went out for margaritas and twisted chips (not pictured appetizer).
It is getting to be the end of the year and we are getting excited about the summer. So of course, margaritas were in order. Then I brought the hubby home some cake and of course I ate some more of it. Cake for dinner? Oh well, moving on.
Side Note: Speaking of candles…I love love love them. Yankee Candles are my favorite. We went into the Yankee Candle store after dinner and I got a cute candle holder for my desk at work. It is a bee which is perfect because our mascot is a bee.
I bought “Dune Grass” tealights to put in it. I also bought a “Sweet Honeysuckle” candle (the smell is heavenly!) and “Ocean Blossom.” I have a beach themed guest bathroom so it will probably go in there. I could stay in that store forever trying to make a decision! Apparently I was taking too long because the husband went and found a bench to sit on.
Last night we ate at Kanki Japanese Steakhouse. It is one of those places with the dinner show. The chef does cute things like the “volcano” where he layers rings of onions and lights the top on fire and he drops the butter from up in the air and says “butterfly” – get it? I love corny stuff like that.
At Kanki we both got the steak special and bogo sushi. I love sushi and I am so glad I introduced Brandon to it. It is just one of those foods you have to try. I could eat it every day. We got the deep sea roll and the volcano roll. Spicyyyyy! And so good!
I forgot to take a picture of the steak, but I will tomorrow when I eat the leftovers!
For Friday’s breakfast I had a sandwich thin with almond butter and honey
Calorie Count: 195
For lunch I made a salad with blue cheese and ff balsamic dressing.
Calorie Count: 105
I also packed a WW yogurt that I didn’t eat and leftover cake.
And a Sobe Lifewater
There is the recap! Hope you had a good 2 days!
