Vacation - Relaxation and Mahi Mahi!

So I've been MIA for a little while because I have been on vacation!
We went to the Outer Banks for a week, and oh my goodness it was the most relaxing week of my entire 25 year old life.

(Our house was right on the beach, all I had to do was step out of the gate!)

I had no idea just how stressed out I really was until I no longer had to worry about anything!
My biggest stressor was whether or not I needed to wear flip flips because the sand was too hot.

However...
I was bad.
I was really really really bad.

I ate everything.
I didn't think about my diet at all, and you know what...it showed.
I came back to work and I had my weigh in for our biggest loser contest and lets just say, I had gained back every single pound that I had lost.
I was definitely crushed.
But now I'm just going to work a thousand times harder to stay on top of everything.

But...look I'm getting side tracked.
BACK TO THE VACATION POST:

Randy went fishing with my family, and oh boy, did they catch some fish haha

holy crap.  That's a lot of fish haha.

I'm REALLY excited though because I get to cook Mahi Mahi for the first time, so I've been gathering all these amazing recipes!

While the men were out hunting, we women were gathering....err gathering sunrays.

How cute is my Grandma :)

Randy and I had a wonderful time, but were so happy to come home to our Boebutt <3

(He was pretty bitter over us leaving)

Anyway...it's back to the grind for another year...sigh!
At least I have something to look forward too!

When Pizza Happens To Good People

When Pizza Happens To Good People



So has some of you may know, I am doing The Biggest Loser at my work. Basically we weigh in on Monday and pay $1, at the end of the 15 weeks whoever has lost the most weight gets the pot of money and gets to look all hot.
I'm tryna win that shit, This week when I had my weigh in I had lost 4lbs!
YAY!
Cue Party Music.

HOWEVER.....
My boyfriend likes to sabotage me.
He ordered pizza.
Not only did he order pizza.
He ordered my favorite Philly Cheesesteak Pizza.
ommmmmmmmmmmmmg.
I ate it.
A lot of it.
Womp.
Now at first I felt all awful and depressed and guilty.
And for a split second I even thought about not eating for a day to make up for my bad behavior.
But then I realized.
Pizza Happens.
And Pizza SHOULD happen.




(So Should Cream of Crab soup)
 




90/10 Rule Man.
90% of what goes in my body is good and happy and healthier, and 10% is junkfoody-delicious-crap.



Now...other than that moment of gluttony
I've been quite good!

Here is a round up of some of this weeks healthier choices:


Banana Chips!
So good!
I got this bag at Trader Joe's awhile ago and it's lasted quite a bit.
They are great when I'm needing something to tide me over till lunch.




 
Portion Control!

At least two of my lunches this week have consisted of a half cup of Trader Joe's Chicken Fried Rice.
Its so delicious and actually does a great job of filling me up!
I usually pair it with either hummus and veggies, or cinnamon applesauce.




I've got a new Tilapia Recipe so hopefully I'll be able to post that up here by the end of the week!
