He never hesitated when he asked and neither did I...: Day 7: A Birthday Dinner but set Menu for the Week!

Here is a quick pic for the day... Geoff and I wanted frozen yogurt with two Oreos but we were out of yogurt... instead I made him a strawberry smoothie with a few Oreo crumbles and Reddi Whip!

Day 7: Still no major weight loss... I was hoping for at least two pounds by this point but I think I have to be realistic that 1.) it's only day 7 2.) I'm 30... I know that's not old BUT it's harder for the pounds to start falling off! So, I'm trying to be realistic and will keep on keeping on with these healthy habits!

Yesterday, after I blogged, G and I sat down and created our meals for this week. It actually turned out well because we were able to plan each meal incorporating a lot of veggies from one of our local farmer's markets. It's been so hard to find recipes that are healthy, not that there aren't a lot of options, but we seem to get in this rut of eating the same things over and over. With the help of Pinterest and Martha Stewart online, we created a yummy menu for the week. Hopefully planning ahead, will allow us to be more conscientious of our calorie intake

Monday

Breakfast: strawberry and peach smoothie with milk and pomegranate juice - 300 calories

Lunch: Salad with lunchmeat

Dinner: Duckworth's for Laura Sweets (one of my bridesmaids) birthday-I plan to eat one of the following but I am still playing with my calories for the day: steak salad, grilled chicken sandwich, or chicken nachos *note that I have nachos once per week and do not plan to give these up) If I decide to have nachos, I have to be very calorie conscious each day.

Snack: Fruit

*I'm a little nervous about calories for today BUT, I can do this :)
