Today was pretty scary when the alarm clock went off at 6:30 am. I had a horrible night sleep with this gunk I have. The lil guys had Football photos at 7:15 this morning. Then a game at 9:00 am. Then NFL Punt Pass & Kick competition at 2:00 this afternoon. Now the Colts game!! I'm so happy with our little Steelers, not even because (Jordan made his 1st TD of the season) but because we had a total TEAM effort and I love that so much! Second at the P. P & K competition ALL 4 of our kids competed! Yes, including our 13 year old daughter! Last night Olivia (and she has been playing backyard football with her bros for a couple years) gave the guys a run for their money with an awesome move and TD. So today I encouraged her to compete and she WON 1st place for her age!!! Also Jordan won 1st place in his age and overall only 1 child did better in all age groups!! So we have 2 kids moving on to regionals:):)
Now about our weight loss challenge. I've learned I can eat a 1 piece sandwich to cut back on my carbs and calories. With saying that, I also have learned I don't need a cup of mayo (Hellmans I still <3 you) I can put a light covering and only on the one piece of bread = amazing! SO I put a piece of whole wheat/ high fiber bread on a plate, light coat of mayo, then half of a tomato( thanks to my buddy Irenea) sliced, then a piece of cheese and last about 3 oz of oven baked turkey. I I cut this sandwich with a knife & fork and felt very satisfied for 250 calories and filled with good nutrients. So know you can cut back calories and enjoy the same satisfaction! It takes a little ingenuity but it is worth a couple mins of thought and a couple pounds, you will lose!
Now time to cookout and watch the Colts and relax. Ohhhh I bought an eggplant, can you give me any healthy recipes? My plan, grilled with mushrooms and a slice of cheese like a veggie burger, but not tonight:) Maybe tomorrow!!
