So I totally forgot to buy the 5 dozen egg pack at Costco last week and I haven't went yet and as I look at all those veggies in my fridge I really wanted scrambled eggs w/veggies. I kinda worry about not eating something I really want because you know how your brain never gets off that thought! So I started thinking what do I have in the house? This was on my way home from WW meeting, yep lost 1.2lbs this week woot woot! hmmm couscous and bananas! yep let me go dig up that recipe!
here it goes in case you want couscous for bfast!
1/4 dried couscous
1/2 c milk
cinnamon
banana
cook in microwave with a lid on the bowl for 2 mins, let it sit for 1 min! ENJOY!

a new week!!!
I love new weeks, especially when you had an awesome last week!! I finally got some good gym time in! Last week in recap, an 8 mile sat run, off sun/mon/tue, bosu strength weds, zumba toning thurs, 5 sets of stairs friday, cardiokick on sat! woohoo!!! oh and on Saturday my amazing husband did the Tough mudder and right before the race I sent him a text telling him I will do one with him but man after watching the finishers I am SCARED!!!! I am working only 1 shift at a time this week; mon, thur, sat so I feel that will help me get all my workouts in and i think im sticking to what i did last week but throwing in a gravity class on thursday on base. I will post pics of my hubby and his team later this week because they are just so amazing!!!
oh the protein pancakes are working out great with the chobani yogurt, 3/4 oats, 2 egg whites but she has some other ones on there them im going to try as soon as i grocery shop and get some cottage cheese friday!
oh and I don't know if I have mentioned that we are trying to live more frugally by making homemade stuff and planning better. I just have to say I went grocery shopping and only spent $84! We make our own laundry soap and dishwasher soap now and soon I am going to make bodywash, I have all the ingredients just been too lazy lol. Ok off to a hot shower, I just ran 10 miles whew!

WW Wi and Biggest Loser
I don't know about you guys I used to live for Biggest Loser, the past couple seasons I just haven't got into it. Since my workout today is scheduled for 1130 I figured what the heck let me watch the show. I liked what Dolvett said OWN this! I am the one in charge of my weight loss, I own it. I own what goes in my mouth and what energy I expend each day. No one else puts food in my mouth or tells me to just sit on the couch.
So I lost 0.4 lbs this week. Not as much as I wanted so I decided I really need to go back to basics as much as possible! So the oils, milks, f/v are back in my life!!!! So I ran today just a mile but at 5.5 so 1 mile in 11 mins. Then I took bosu strength class today, after 20 mins i wanted to call it quits, but I stuck it out. I am feeling it already! I am so glad I went!
Today Todd got off early since he was day after duty and we went to Sprouts/Henrys together. We took $30 with us since we are trying to live on a budget and more frugal. It makes me think am I really going to eat this before it goes bad? We got strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, grapes, mango, kumquats, asparagus, brussel sprouts, grape tomatoes, an eggplant, and 3 bell peppers (red/orange/yellow) all for $24.08!!!!! I like to go grocery shopping on Fridays for the week but I think Wednesday will be my produce buying days since Sprouts does the double ad!
Now to find a good kinda easy eggplant recipe!!!

oh yes!!!
I just have to say that MAN it is like so hard to resist the damn food that keeps being left out for all in the break room! Last night it was Rosie's amazing lemon cake, I am glad I only ate one piece but the skinny nurses ate a couple, it was soooo good. I had decided that I was allowed to only eat fruit/veggies at work, this was working for awhile until Christmas and I haven't been as diligent. Last night after the lemon cake yumminess and midnight hit I only ate the peppers and cuties I brought with. I like to take 3 different f/v with me. Tonight will be a banana, peppers, blueberries and a grapefruit. I find grapefruits really help calm my munchies! I have also switched to tea to avoid the creamer calories! Ok off to make dinner for the family before my last shift of the 3! I am really hoping now that school is OVER I can make my fitness goals! Enjoy!!!!

running running running
Today was 8 miles on the La Jolla coastline, BEAUTIFUL!!!! I mean it is so beautiful it doesn't even feel like a work out. Anyhow Did the 8 miles in like 1:58. After the run, Todd and I took the kids to the Y to swim. I forgot to check the schedule and we got there and it wasn't open swim so darn we had to spend 20 mins in the hot tub. I am good and sleepy for my nap now! Just when I had warned the kids they had 10 mins left (I had left potatoes baking in the oven) the fire alarm went off so we came home. Now I am making baked potato eggs from a pinterest recipe. YUM! my scale loves that I took spin yesterday and ran today! Enjoy your 3 day weekend, my kids got a 4 day one!

The Y
So I have been saying I really want to try a TRX class out, base has them and the Y started offering them for no fee. So I get up and head to the gym, walk in and find out that you have to get there 30 mins early to get a card for your spot. BLAH! So I stand there debating what to do and I didn't have music with me, we all know how horrible it is to have no music!!! I walked into spin class and jumped on a bike! 550 calories burnt didn't seem to be regretted!!!
On a food note, I made Kale chips today while sauteeing up veggies that were about to go bad. not bad at all I will make more for Todd when he gets home so he can try them. I am baking banana bread w/pecan pieces in it and need to run to the store for buttermilk so I can make oatmeal bread in my breadmaker. Tonight I will be making chicken and dumplings for the first time! For now, I will veg and watch NCIS, Greys, Private practice and rest up for tomorrow's 8 mile run in La Jolla!
