Today’s word of the day is…

DETERMINATION! Now boys and girls, anytime someone says the words “determination” I want you to scream! Got it? GOOD! ;)

Good morning everyone. It seems I am finally over this flu. Only got in a quick half hour of working out on Saturday because Sunday was just so busy- but happy to say eating was definitely very good. :D I’m still a little tired but I’ll probably go to bed a bit earlier today :D

Weighed in this morning at 214- the TEENIEST tiniest loss- but finally a weekend where I didn’t weigh more than my Friday weigh in and now I won’t be spending the week “catching up.” I definitely at the back of my mind had Monday Weigh-in on my mind all weekend and took care with my diet as much as I could.

I’m TIRED TIRED TIRED of lean cuisines- SO this weekend I bought a ton of salad as well as Ezekiel bread! I’m really excited to try this- I’ll be having a turkey Sandwhich for lunch with two small oranges today.

I hope it’s good I hear “it tastes like crap” as well as “oh it’s good!” I usually like healthy things and I think it’s awesome this bread isn’t made with flour but with barley, wheat, millet, lentils, and so on. It comes out to only 80 calories a slice and best of all the sodium is only 80 mg a slice! 80! when I’d eat subway just the 6 inch sub had 500 mg sodium from JUST the bread! *faint* I will let you all know how it is tomorrow!

I’m just so sick of the packaged foods and now that’s it’s summer I want cooler foods- nothing to heat- and fresh stuff! Tonight I’ll prepare the fixings for a salad then put it together at work tomorrow. I feel I still need to eat more greens! Right now I feel I can’t get enough. Last night we had some foster farms buffalo wings or something and while the guys ate it with ranch and they also wanted mac n cheese, I ate mine with a HUGE helping of celery. I had like 2 strips of chicken (230 calories) and then a BUTTLOAD of celery I figured was only like 40 calories. I also had a few tablespoons of ranch to go along with it.

My books STILL haven’t come in… I’m IMpatiently waiting lol. I’m hoping it’ll give me some insight but you never know- hopefully they aren’t total crap lol ;)

And here’s today’s photo of the day:

Yeah I definitely can relate…
