Friday Favorite

This favorite has nothing to do with exercise.

With all the snow lately my favorite thing has been Greg's old beanie I found in our snow gear. He used to wear it in high school and I love it.

It's perfect for those days when I don't want to go my hair.

Try This! Tuesday: Creamy Cucumbers

Alright, alright, its Wednesday.  But hey, at least I'm posting SOMETHING on here! 

I did not weigh myself today because truthfully, I know I have gained a pound or two and I just don't want to make it real by seeing it on the scale.  But I promise, I will weigh in next week.

 

The following is a delightful little snack that I had today.  It is SO easy to make and really satisfying and delicious. 

Creamy Cucumber Slices

Here is what you need:

\

- 1/2 of a cucumber, sliced (I found the thicker the slices, the better)

- 2 Tbs fat-free cottage cheese

- 1 Tbs fat-free sour cream (I didn't have fat free, so I just used regular)

- Ground black pepper

 

The How-To:

Take your cottage cheese, sour cream and a little bit of pepper and mix it together.  You can also add 1 tbs chives.  I didn't have any, but wish I did! Spread the mixture onto your cucumber slices and top with a little more black pepper. 

please don't judge me for my HORRIBLE picture-taking skills.

 

Voila! 

Easy peasy and so yummy!

Recap

Well hello there.  

I am happy to say that I only have ten pounds to go!!  Thats right, ten pounds!  Unfortunately, I've learned that the last ten pounds are really, really hard to lose!

I am also happy to say that I can fit into my pre-baby jeans, but they are still too snug to ever go out in public in them.  I just remember that first time I tried them on this summer I couldn't get them past my booty...so I'm happy for the visible progress!

The last few weeks have been really hard, just too many sweets around and too much time sitting on the couch.  I have made a few goals for myself to remedy this bit of slouchiness:

1. Run 3 times a week.

2. No fast food

3. Stay within my daily points

I'm just sick of always thinking "maybe next month I'll reach my goal."  I'm ready for it to really happen.  Any tips???
