Getting Creative

Yesterday was a good day. I stuck to my menu and only ate one bite of wedding cake when I was feeling like I needed something sweet. That one bite was much better than the alternative of eating an entire bag of Lancaster Caramels. Just saying.

I got a little creative for supper last night! My sister, Kate, came over to visit and we were starting to get hungry. Zack had to run to the store to help them do something, so while he was gone I decided to cook. (this happens a lot — I don’t like to try to cook when he’s home for some reason. haha!) I put 5 chicken tenderloins into a skillet with a little EVOO with some seasoning and cooked them up. Right before the chicken was done, I threw in some big handfuls of spinach with some chopped, fresh mushrooms and sauteed them down. It was delicious! I think my sister was impressed 🙂

By the time Zack got home, we had already licked our plates clean. He said, “where’s mine?!” Silly boy. He knows that he doesn’t like spinach or mushrooms! He then cooked a turkey cheese melt for himself that looked and smelled divine.

Weight update: still down 2 pounds! I think I could have lost between yesterday and today; however, I had an afternoon snack fest with an apple and some peanut butter and I kinda went over board on the peanut butter. oops! But still, I really do feel great about only eating healthy food 🙂

Today: I’ve already dodged a hot, buttered biscuit. Success! Today I will be at the office until lunch time, then I will be spending the rest of the day in Ville Platte putting signs out at the store and delivering our peanut butter donation to the Care & Share food pantry. Very excited about that!

On the Menu:
– Breakfast: Apple w/ Peanut Butter (I will limit myself!)
– Snack: Cantalope & Honey Dew
– Lunch: Avocado & Egg Salad Wheat Wrap w/ Strawberries & Grapes
– Snack: Almonds
– Supper: IDK

Please lord, let me not be tempted by the evils that come in the form of food and drink this weekend. Amen.
