and daydreaming of these bad boys I made Father's Day 2009...





Courage and Perservence

WHOOPIE! Under construction!

This is what I worked on Saturday and Sunday. LOL! I probably ate about 5 or 6 of these suckers. Unfortunately, the recipe is on hold until I can tweak it more after prep. I have to lay off the dairy, as it does not agree with me. It sure was fun while it lasted. :)






Menu Planning Monday - Prep doesn't have to be boring!

After a lovely long MPM hiatus, I want to get back in the groove... not that I ever found my groove...

Let's keep prep fun with eats other than chicken and green beans... Although, I love'em! Feel free to ask about any of the meals. I don't have recipes to go off of... yet. ;) I can whip'em up if ya want me to, though!


Sun: Broiled steak, baked acorn squash, broiled cauliflower w/ smoked sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper
Mon: Smoked salmon, sauteed spinach, cream cheese wrap on a homemade spelt tortilla w/ extra steamed spinach on the side.
Tue: Baby spinach salad topped with chickpeas, black bean & corn salsa, and sliced pork tenderloin
Wed: Fake hot wings (baked chicken tenders with a faux fried 'crust' of spelt flakes), baked french fries, side salad
Thu: Pork tacos on homemade spelt tortillas
Fri: I'm going to try to talk the hubs into going out to eat. :) I'll have a chx salad w/ salsa as dressing! And I want some guacamole!!
Sat: Cheesy potato soup (hubby's request), spelt rolls, and I may have some chicken salad w/ light mayo or something else that tastes sinful. ;) I'll wait and see what I'm craving by week's end! Doubt I'll eat the soup! LOL!

Head on over to OrgJunkie's Menu Planning Monday for more menu ideas!!

Wordless Wednesday - Happy birthday to me!







Terrific Tuesday!

Hey party people!! I haven't check in in a while, so I a thought the least I could do was send you an update...

Last week was awful, just awful. I felt like I did all the right things, but instead of the scale rewarding me, it creeped up in the opposite direction. So, now I am rewarded with less food or more cardio. LOL! I'm on the fence as to which one I want to do.

Labor Day weekend was just okay. Sunday we went to a cookout/reunion at the in-laws. I brought my meals, and surprisingly, was not even tempted by the goodies they had! WOO HOO! Go me! Monday, however, I couldn't keep anything down. I think I ate something bad? Typical of me. I was eating on the same sweet potato for a week -- how sad is that?! LOL!

Anyways, that's my mini recap! I have a ton of stuff to catch up on here in the office. Later today I will probably check back in to add some placeholders for my "tabs" up at the top. :)

It's a new and SHORT week! Make today a TERRIFIC TUESDAY! I'm ready to make the scale my bitch again! :o)

LESS THAN 7 Weeks out from my first show! YIKES!
