Day 18! 10 Days Left!!!

This challenge is really going better than I hoped! Like I said yesterday, it's not as hard anymore. Oh! I just remembered, I never asked Brian if I can post some recipes he showed us yesterday. Well, I'll try to remember to do that tomorrow!

I treated myself to breakfast in bed this morning! Same old cereal with almond milk, but a fun setting amongst pillows and blankets. Actually, not completely "same old" cereal! I added a dash of cinnamon, which was a tasty addition.


At work, I drank a couple hot green teas with lemon and ginger juice. I just love those! On my 15 minute break, I cut up an apple and ate it with some almond butter (that I spread on the apple slices.) That's a delicious snack with some substance behind it. Kept me full until lunchtime (2.5 hours later.)

I had another enchilada for lunch! People are asking if I'm sick of them yet, but so far, nope! I'll actually be bringing some (that I froze) to my friend's house for dinner tomorrow! I spent too much time chatting with my friend, Candyce, to eat anything else during lunch, but, thankfully, the enchilada is real filling with the beans and sweet potatos inside.

I came home around 7:30, ready to cook supper, when tornado sirens went off! I left my groceries on the counter in the kitchen, grabbed my cat and hung out in the bathroom for a half hour or so. Poor kitty, she did NOT like being in there.

                   "Let me out!"

         "Seriously!!! I'm freaking out!!!"

I called my mom and she helped look at the radar and weather alerts and finally, Cirrus and I got to escape the porcelain dungeon. 

I finished up my tofu and baked a portabella mushroom cap (drizzled with white wine and balsamic vinegar.)  I enjoyed that with a large helping of asparagus sautéed in white wine. Very good!!


Eating lots of veggies gets me full, but is so healthy! Yay!

I got more compliments about my body transformation today. Customers and coworkers are noticing. Pretty cool!  


Still making progress! Yay!

Thanks again to all who have been following my blog. Hello to all of you international readers too! Leave a comment if you'd like! Love to hear from you. 

Today I Felt: Annoyed with the length of the tornado warning, Pleased with how my mushroom cap turned out, Amazed we only have 10 days left!
