Road trip

So Im leaving to Saskatoon tomorrow morning.. just decided this today lol.
Its a 5 hour drive, and I love to do this trip, but will love it even more in my new car :D

I have been struggling to stay motivated, and feel like I'm in a funk.
I need a change and thanks to my wonderful extended family I am able to make this trip and have plenty of people and energy around.
I always tend to do great food wise and weight wise when Im there.. and Im not trying to set myself up here, but Im always happy there. And right now I have been feeling depressed and lonely, so I am in need of this trip.

ANYWAYS, I probably wont update while I'm gone so I figured I would  let you all know.
I don't have a "for sure" date on when Im gonna be back but I'm guessing either Wednesday or Thursday.. maybe Friday...

A couple days late..

I was supposed to update on Monday :S

But here I am.
So My official WI for Monday was 267.2lbs which puts me up 2 lbs from my 2 week hiatus :(
Lets have a moment of sadness...
AND THEN MOVE ON!

Im over it, Its done and can't be undone.. oh wait, YES IT CAN lol
Im not saying Im ok with gaining, because Im not, but Im just in such a good frame of mind and I know Im gonna drop that 2 lbs like a bad habit. So why not just move on and get over it.
This is such a huge thing for me. In my old life I would have had such a long regret, which led to more eating and being lazy.
Now, not so much!
I know I can lose that 2lbs (and more) and I know what I need to do to get there.
So here I am owning my mistakes, and getting back on track :)

2 weeks

I havent posted in 2 weeks! ugh, im a bad blogger.

I have been super busy. Aiden is on summer holidays, Rob got home and then my mom was here, we had a wedding to attend which meant a bunch of family was here. Then we were car shopping and bought a new car. I got so wrapped up in everything I lost control again and kinda fell back into old habits. Although it didn't get as bad as it could have been, I definitely didn't care most days. Well its not that I didn't care, I just didn't make the concious effort to care about myself.

I have definitely gained weight in the past 2 weeks, and Im kinda scared to get on the scale :(
I feel like I will have let myself and others down.
But I need to let that go and just move on.
So I am.
Started today on a good note. Lots of water. And getting out in the sun today, gonna take the boys to the spray park shortly.

I plan to WI tomorrow, so talk to you then :)

The pay off is sweeter than that chocolate bar, I promise.

Still on track :)
Still drinking my water.
Still working out EVERYDAY!!!
Doing my Shred daily and then usually a walk at night, or during the week I go to the gym for an hour.
Im not supposed to WI officially until the 6th, but for the sake of this challenge and for my regular WI day (Sunday) Im weighing in 3 days early.

So, I have lost...

*Drum roll*

10 lbs!!!!!!!!!!!!
I nearly fainted lol
Hard work is actually paying off , who knew!? lol
So that puts me at 265.2 lbs
Still a long way to go.. but thats a huge step :)

I start workout 2 on the shred today. Gonna do it after I post this actually. This should be interesting lol.

I made mini quiches for dinner last night, got the recipe from Sabrina over at "Blog".
I took pics of the process too so I will post the recipe as well.
I did change a bit, I didn't use bacon bits, I don't like bacon bits. And really you don't use 12 whole slices of bread, you can get the 12 circles from 6 slices depending on the size of the glass you cut the circles with, and if you are counting calories like me I wanted to be more accurate.
If you plan a head you can have even less calories by using light cheese too.. I just happened to have all the ingredients so and didn't plan ahead lol



Easy Mini Quiche (makes 12)
6 slices Whole Wheat Bread
1/2 Cup Cheddar Cheese
4 Stalks Green Onion
1 cup 1% Milk
4 Large Eggs

1. Preheat oven to 375F. Lightly grease 12 muffin tins. ( I use pam)
2.  Trim or cut bread into circles ( I use an upside down glass ) Place circles in bottom of muffin  tins. Distribute onion and cheese,evenly between muffin tins.
3. In a medium bowl, combine milk, eggs, and any spices you like to use. ( I just use pepper ) and pour evenly between muffin tins.
4. Bake for 20 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.

They freeze well, and make a good breakfast too.
