Rather than catch you up by posting every little picture of what I have ate in the last week and a half I’ll post of few of my favorites.  I do intend to get back to my daily journal but live has just been REALLY CRAZY the last two weeks.

Breakfasts

Swedish Pancakes.  Enough said.

These were filled with cottage cheese blended with honey and lemon.

Sprouted grain bagel topped with pesto, fried egg (in coconut oil), and tomatoes.

This is seriously one of my most favorite breakfasts EVER!

My standard breakfast EXCEPT I topped my Ezekiel toast with cream cheese blended with fresh strawberries.  YUM!

Lunches are typically leftover dinners soo…

Dinners

Chicken with creamy blackberry sauce.  This is a new recipe I came up with and still needs a few tweaks.  I’m really excited to share it when I’m done.  SO GOOD.

Last week a friend was selling fresh sea bass.  Seriously, like right off the boat.  We grilled it and topped it with mango salsa.

4th of July dinner was my favorite chicken:  chicken grilled in a marinade of olive oil, honey, mint, and citrus.

I also had grilled summer squash, grilled bread topped with my favorite pesto again.  This pesto makes anything good.

We love kebabs around here.  This one was even simpler just olive oil, lemon, and garlic salt.  The super fresh veggies from the CSA made the meal!

Overall I’m happy with my food choices.  I feel very balanced even while tracking calories which is nice.  The scale could be moving a bit faster…of course…but it is moving.  Since I’m out with my husband shooting the videos and we’ve gone out to eat with his mom the last two night, I’ve had way more sodium and less water  than normal so it’s hard to tell. Once I get back to my regular food routine ,I think it will be down lower than I expect.  Normally, I’m NOT concerned this much with the scale but with my certification in less than 8 weeks away I need to stay FOCUSED on reaching that goal.

Hugs and High Fives,
