Sick!

Confession: No posts recently because I have been verrrrrrry sick! Hit with a horrible cold :( I have to say, I'm a terrible eater when I'm sick. I'm not hungry so I usually just eat no great food - lots of carbs! I also ate out twice this weekend. It was DBF's bday which meant a few dinners out with different groups. Sunday I took him to the Jays game and then to The Old Spagetti Factory for dinner. I had goat cheese agnolotti. It was wonderful. Not the best choice but I enjoyed every bite :)

Fortunatly, having a smaller appitie because of this cold has meant no weight gain. But nutrient wise I know it's sooo bad! So now that I'm slowly feeling better so today's menu was:

B: Oatmeal with 2 tsp brown sugar
L: 3 pieces soy chicken, 1 piece swiss cheese
D: Village greek salad with chickpeas, peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers and feta
S: 1. c Smartfood popcorn

On another note: As of tomorrow I am done all my classes in university! I'm totally a type A personality so not knowing what I'm doing with my life scares the crap out of me. On a positive note, if I am jobless for a [short, I hope] while, it will give me some time to focus on exercise and trying new healthy delicious recipes. So I am going to think about that and not the scary fact that I need to figure out my life!

That's all for now. Hopefully some food pics to come soon this week.

Take Care

Clean Eating

Two posts in one day! This is crazy lol

As part of her 15 week challenge, Amy challenged everyone to eat clean for a day. I'm not part of the challenge but I thought I'd participate in this one. I usually try to eat clean as much as I can so my days weren't drastically different but I did rethink a few treats here and there. Here are some of my deliciously clean meals:



Greek salad on a bed of whole wheat couscous... yum!








Black bean soft tacos (I guess technically tortillas aren't "clean" but these were whole grain...)






The picture doesn't do it justice but this was black bean and rice salad with tomatoes and cheddar

And finally, not clean (or even a little bit low calorie) but a taste of PC Loads of Peanut Butter Ice Cream. I use my little measuring cup as a bowl to make sure the portion is right...everything in moderation :)

Monday Morning is going to come to soon! Have a great week everyone xo

Back!!!

I have been totally MIA! I have been reading blogs but to be honest, I haven't posted because I haven't been doing well! Which is stupid, because really, those are the times I need this blog the most. I read so many blogs and I wish I had the discipline to post on a regular basis! So I'm going to try to post more often.

Here's my update. My parent's anniversary party was a blast! I did end up over eating and I paid for it the next few days. I just felt gross! But I filled up on lots of water and fruits and veggies and felt much better. Right now I'm not doing horrible, but I'm not losing. Just maintaining, which isn't terrible...but I would love to kick these last 3 pounds and see 110! More importantly though, I am really just going to focus on eating well. I finally took some pictures of the wonderful things I've been eating....I'll post them tonight :)

So this is just to say I am alive and still doing the best I can day to day! So don't stop reading. I'm back, I'm promise and I will try and get lots of great recipes and pictures up!

Hope you're having a great weekend.
