WOW what a week I have had....I keep my niece she is 4 months old.

I also had to plan an entire soccer team dinner for my 14 yr old and make 2 cakes this week. Im a hobby cake decorator. I know not the best hobby for someone trying to lose these last 20 pounds right?

Anyway, I will be up and posting food photos tomorrow .

I will say that I tried the peanut butter jelly bar today.....hmmmm much too sweet and was not fond of the "jelly". I dont like grape jelly though. I prob should not have ordered 3 of these.

super super busy

I have been so super busy lately and not having time to post. I am however sticking to my NS diet 100%.

Today I had the cranberry orange scone for breakfast! It was good for sure.

I had a string cheese and 3 prunes with that.

For lunch I had the 3 cheese pasta with chicken and I cooked some shrooms and 100 calorie chicken sausage with that! It was also very very good!

Tonight I will be trying the chille for the first time and Ill let yall know what I think of that .

Anyone out there? lol

Monday weigh in!

Weight this am was 151. That is a 5lb loss so far on this journey.

For the weekend report here is what I did.

Friday night my son had a football game. He is in band. No I did not give into the concession stand food. That food doesnt tempt me much anyway bc I am cheap and it was already expensive for my family of 6 to get in the game..lol.

A few NS meals I had this weekend for the first time.

I made a breakfast "cake" type thing from http://stomach-rumblings.blogspot.com/ 's blog.

It was very big and very good! So filling. It used the pancake mix...I used the blueberry one.

I also had the chocolate muffin for the firs time...it was just "meh". It was good but not something I would order alot I dont think.

Oh I did not take pictures but I also had the burger for the first time. It reminded me of a mcdonalds patty. NOT bad...but not great! I will def be ordering more and trying out new ways of eating them.
