Why are titles the hardest part of blogging???

Thursday is here and gone! This week has gone by in a flash...

The diet is going pretty well! I have consistently stayed in my calorie range and have not felt too ravenous. I love love love the my fitness pal app on my iPhone. It is so easy to use and is the first calorie counter that I have ever used that has every food known to man on it. There has not been one food that I have logged that wasn't already on there.

Things I need to work on:

- stop eating little bites of things mindlessly. Like bites of my kids food, bites of stuff while im fixing dinner, etc. I know lots of moms struggle with this and I need to get a grip on it.

- I have got to make more time for exercise. It was super cold here this week so an easy excuse not to get out and walk. But I did have my Jillian Michaels DVD I could have done... I just chose not to. I think the weather is warming up so I am hoping to get out there more.

- Drink.more.water. Gosh this is hard for me.

I had a doctors appointment this morning and I think I have lost some. I'll weigh in officially on Saturday and let you know the results!

For you fellow pinterest lovers I tried these recipes:

The banana bread is good. Very filling and satisfying. Definitely not the sweet banana bread (cake really) that I am used to cooking. But it is good.

The lettuce wraps were good as well, but something was wrong in the flavor. The texture was dead on with pf changs lettuce wraps. I think next time I make them I'll leave out some of the Chinese 5 spice powder and add in some rice wine vinegar. They definitely needed more tang to them.

I have a few more recipes I will be trying this weekend so I'll let you know how they turn out.
