Honesty Monday

Whew! What a weekend. It was busy. And stressful. In good ways. But still....
Cool note - I went to a Mexican food restaurant as a THM for the first time this weekend!! They didn't have cucumbers, but they brought me a plate of sliced zucchini that Dav and I dipped in guac and queso. I didn't miss the chips one bit!! And the fajitas were amazing. I did have 2 corn tortillas with it, but considering my past Mexican food chow downs, I'm ok with that.
I lost .4 lb this week. Not as much as I'd like to see, but the downward trend continues. This week I want to journal my food and exercise and monitor its effects. I know I tend to lean way too heavily on S. heavy S. who doesn't love cream and cheese?!
Today, I tried something different. I went mostly for FP and E and balanced my S with more salad. And I loved it!! Here we go:
B- muffin in a bowl (with orange extract) yum!
1 tsp of cream in my coffee.
Exercise
4 sets each
Squat (40 lb)
Deadlift (60 lb)
Then,
An assorted amount of situps, crunches and core exercises for 7 min for a total of 22 min.
Sn- Big Boy Smoothie (which it took me all morning to finish)
L- 1/2 enchilada, large salad with dressing - S
Sn - 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, 1/2 apple sweetener and cinnamon - FP??
D- sautéed sweet potato, onion and bell pepper in 1 tsp butter. Added 1 fillet salmon. (picture below)
Salad because I wasn't quite full yet.
Dessert (late) - light baked custard - FP

As I look back at this, it seems like a lot of food, but the calorie intake is fairly reasonable. We'll see how the week goes.

New Year's Eve

Our S snacks of meatballs, bacon wrapped water chestnuts, mousse cups, salmon dip and cheese sticks.
