End of Indulgence - Day 2

End of Indulgence Day 2 - Not bad, though I did indulge in the last piece of birthday cake, and one *TINY* Almond Joy. But now that crap's out of the house, so there are no excuses.

Menu - Day 2:
Breakfast:
Publix Blended Greek Coconut Yogurt
10 Fresh Blackberries

Lunch:
Leftover Stove Top Mac n Cheese
Caesar Salad

Snack:
1 cup Fresh cubed pineapple

Dinner:
Pan Grilled Pork Chops with Grilled Pineapple Salsa
White Rice (1 cup - should've had less. but it's my weakness)

Bad Girl/Slap my hand:
1 slice coconut cake
1 tiny Almond Joy

Here's to day 3!

Also, pool is looking good! I'm already researching healthy pool snacks for poolside this weekend. Stay tuned!

Month-Long Indulgence ENDS NOW! Day 1

I'm *THE BEST* at starting meal plans. Breakfast, Day 1 is always PERFECT. If you've been here awhile, you know I did a month (4 weeks) cleanse and stuck with that, but I've been struggling since. I've not GAINED any, but in particular, the past 3 weeks, what with birthday celebrations and abandonment of (most) adult responsibilities, I feel way off. We ate out every single dinner meal last week.

ENOUGH!

Mike got the pool opened yesterday, and well, that means swimsuits, which means body self-loathing, and well, instead of just bitching about it, I'm going to do something about it. Again.

So, not just to lose weight, but to get more workout time in, and eat well, but also eat ENOUGH. I think my biggest problem is night time snacking but I feel I'd be more likely to avoid night time eating if I ate enough during the day. So I went to the store yesterday, and got lots of fruits/veggies and snackables. Not those processed meat-cheese things, but some healthy crackers, healthy dip, and Kashi bars (my BFF got me HOOKED).

As always, this is my accountabili-place. And this is why I'm here. If it works, we should be able to refer back to it, right?

Today:

Breakfast:
1/2 cup 2% Low Fat Cottage Cheese
1 cup quartered Strawberries

Lunch: (See picture!)
Shrimp Caesar Salad Kit:
1 cup lettuce
1 TBSP shredded Parmesan
2 TBSP croutons
1 1/2 TBSP Cardini's dressing
5 oz boiled shrimp

3 celery sticks
5 carrot sticks
2 TBSP Marzetti Cucumber Dill Feta Dip

Mojo Grilled Chicken Breasts
Black Beans

Exercise: Derby practice!

This is my Shrimp Caesar Salad Kit! Note: That is way too much lettuce. I used about 1/2. Apparently a sandwich bag of romaine is enough for two. Who knew?!
