Well, this weekend was a HIGH calorie weekend. It was my sister’s birthday and my child’s birthday. There were cupcakes and cake balls and beer and snacks. So I didn’t expect good news when I stepped on the scale. I gained a pound. That’s not too terrible considering the weekend I had.
Exercise Completed
After three (or four or five?) weeks of saying that I did absolutely nothing, I can actually say I did something. Granted I’m still not running or breaking a sweat (that’s not saying much since I don’t actually sweat), but I did some yoga.
Splurge/Guilty Pleasure
Cupcakes. Cake pops. Beer. Snacks. Weren’t you listening?
Success Story
Uhh. I’m having salad for lunch each day this week. That’s pretty good. My lunch and snacks are: a salad (greens, pecans, goat cheese, cucumbers, apples), veggie straws, a plum, two mini Dove dark chocolates or cookies (COME ON).
Recipes
I made an awesome pizza this weekend that I think you should know about. Stephen made the crust and since it made enough for two pizzas, we had it Sunday night and Monday night. We put some alfredo sauce (not much, really only a couple spoons of it on the entire pizza), grilled chicken, tomatoes, caramelized onions, goat cheese, and a small sprinkling of Italian blend cheese. So good.
Photos
Lets talk about this picture. I’ve taken the liberty of circling the issue with a yellow circle in Paint several times. Just so that none of you can say, “What are you talking about, Chelsea?? I don’t see anything!” Great posture and forgiving shirts are really great things on a self esteem. Pictures of yourself sitting in a fitted top? Not so great. Let’s call this “inspiration.” Or “Chelsea’s spare tire.”
I have a spare tire pic where I look about 6 months pregnant. Slouching is my enemy. We all have that picture. USE IT!!
Also, anything with goat cheese is my friend. I’m using that recipe later.
Stay awesome, Chelsea!
you will get there
If that is a spare tire, hun, I’m packing a tractor tire!!
Your salad sounds wonderful & Dove dark chocolates are my FAVORITE.
Also, that pizza sounds too legit to quit. I’ve got some naan at home that is begging to be made into some pizza now…
That pizza sounds pretty excellent! YUM
I have to hate you just a little bit since you shared you don’t actually sweat. I can go stand outside and be drenched. I’m jealous
I saw you last weekend and there was no spare tire. I think you photoshopped that in to make the rest of us feel better.
