I added protein to my salad in the form of a hard boiled egg and it really helped to satisfy me. Thanks to Abbie for that suggestion!

Thought for the day:
If I could figure out how to curb my sweet tooth once and for all, I'd be a skinny, skinny bitch (minus the bitchy part).

Weigh in!

It's that time again!
Actually that time was yesterday but I'm posting it today.
Anyweigh...
I'm 1.2 pounds lighter this week! Yay! 6.8 pounds overall! Yay!

I feel pretty good about that. I think I ate well this past week, with the obvious exception of the Red Robin debauchery. It happens. That burger was worth it!

So, I didn't get much exercise in and I'm disappointed by that. My body is starting to feel the effects. I'm cracking and popping all the time. My neck and back (and even my butt) are all tight. I'm in desperate need of some yoga therapy!

I will be on track for the rest of the week. My meals are planned, fridge is stocked and I'm ready to go. I do have a wedding to attend on Saturday, but I should still be okay. It's open bar though. Pray for me peeps. I may need it!

I have a funny weight related story to share about my visit to the lady doctor. Stop by Girly Bitz later today to check it out.
I'm off to see how you guys did this week and catch up on my bloggy love.

Eats for Monday 8/23

I made a much needed trip to the grocery store and the farmer's market today. I also went to the local orchard to get some fresh apples and peaches. Mmmmm. So yummy.

Then, I made a delicioius dinner...

...of spicy turkey tacos with fresh salsa, WW cheese and fat free refried beans. It was really good. I've started buying ground turkey, cooking it all and then freezing it in portions so I can just pull it out as needed. It works out pretty well.
