Getting there!

I took Labor Day Weekend as a chance to rest when it comes to working out.  Therefore, I didn't workout on Friday, Saturday, Sunday OR Monday.  It was a good rest because from Friday-Sunday I was sore from Thursday's workout. While I say I didn't work out those days, I did go on walks and tried to have active days of rest.

I did take the weekend to clean out my pantry.  I organized everything, took it out of their packaging and put it into Tupperware.  The nerd in me really wanted to go to The Container Store and get really cute containers, but the budget didn't allow.  Instead, I went to Big Lots and bought a TON of containers.

To my surprise when I was at Big Lots, they had an entire shelf display of Bob's Red Mill. I stocked up on Steel Cut Oats, Ground Flaxseeds and pizza crust.  I have enough steel cut oats to last me until well into next year.  1 cup of the oats dry = 4 servings.  I make a batch at the beginning of the week and take it to work everyday.

I made the Berry Almond Bliss recipe from Oh She Glows.  I really love it.

Last week I made this recipe for Chipotle-Honey Glazed Pork Chops from Whole Foods website and served it with blanched green beans and quinoa/brown rice.  My husband actually liked it! Score 1 for me.

My husband is out of town from today (Wednesday) until next Tuesday. I set a goal for myself for weight loss while he's gone and this morning after I dropped him off at the airport, I weighed myself to see where I was and I WAS ALREADY THERE! Therefore, I am setting another goal for myself.  

Now, I have 14.5 lbs to go before I get to my goal.  I'm more confident than ever that I will get there.
