I was talking to my (hardcore) sister the other day and she seemed a little bit bugged that I ate a few treats over the weekend. 😉
I told her I was a little bit of a slacker, but I was hittin’ it hard this week. She said, “I thought you weren’t going to eat any treats in January?”
Well….er….uh….I did say that didn’t I???
Dang.
My sister and I (and pretty much all my siblings) have the same treat addiction problem so we’re always trying to motivate each other and keep each other on track.
It’s awesome.
So, I’m sorry I was lame and didn’t completely stick to my plan!!!
In my defense, I could have done a lot worse and I’ve done pretty awesome since then.
Yay.
Oh, and I’ve lost 2 pounds since the New Year!
Wa hoo!
I think I want to lose 7-8 more and then maintain!
Yay!
I’ve found that as long as I don’t have any tempting foods/treats in the house, I’m golden. The minute it comes into my house, I have serious issues. In fact, I can’t even buy chocolate chips any more because they call my name from the pantry!
Speaking of chocolate chips, my cute 13 year old son came home from school yesterday and really wanted to make cookies. I tried to talk him out of it, but he persisted. He really wanted to make them by himself and since he never really cooks or bakes anything, I thought it might be good for him. Oh, and I kind of wanted him to use up the last of the chocolate chips we had in the pantry!
So, I gave him the green light.
He did a pretty good job too. He also included his two littlest brothers in the process. It was so sweet. I snapped this cute pic….
They were being “buddies” and enjoyed watching the cookies (or “toochies” as my baby calls them) bake. It was so sweet.
I must admit, I did try a tiny taste of the dough and a little nibble of one cookie (I just wanted to see how they turned out), but that was IT.
Thankfully, they turned out a little funky. He still did a good job, but they weren’t quite as tempting.

K, moving on to healthier things…
I’ve been having a yummy omelet for breakfast pretty much every morning! I love it so much! I will probably keep having it until I get sick of it and then move on to something else.
I know most of you know how to make omelets, but I thought I would share how I make my fav!
I spray a pan with a little olive oil and saute peppers, onions and spinach for a minute or 2, until the spinach wilts.
Like so….;-)
While the “stuff” in sauteing, I mix 4 egg whites with a fork and then add Mrs. Dash, sliced olives and chopped ham/turkey.
I then add the egg mixture to the sauteed veggies.
When it’s cooked on one side, I flip it and add a little feta cheese (yum!) I cook until the other side is done!
Here’s my plate from this morning. I topped it with salsa and had some sliced strawberries and bananas on the side! Love it!
Also, yesterday for lunch I had a “clean out the fridge” meal. I ate leftover quinoa, tilapia (topped w/ low sodium soy sauce), veggies and tzatziki. It was tasty and filling.
I also had a protein shake in the afternoon and then made Taco Soup for dinner. I love Taco Soup….easy, healthy, yummy. My kind of meal. I’ll post the recipe later on.
Anyway, that’s the latest!
I am sooo having this omelet in the morning, gotta get this spinach used up anyway! Lol
Yay! I hope you like it! I know I’m always lookin’ for ways to use spinach before it dies! Good luck!!
This was great by the way, made it this morning for the second time! 🙂 Thank you! x
I’m so glad you liked it! Yay! I really love this omelet and it fills me up for a while! 😉
