I wouldn't say "Hot Mess"........

........but today I am kind of a Mess, and when I went outside to walk the dogs, I got hot.

My original Title for today's blog was...

"Reading the phone book could be more interesting than today's blog....."

But after I started typing away, I realized I was kind of a mess.

Today was pretty blahbitty blahbitty blahbitty blah to start.

It started out great with a 30 minute walk with.....

.........The Walking Club.......then a 20 minute walk/run.

Breakfast......waffles with Peanut Butter and sliced bananas.




(Pretty sure I have that carb craving thing I get after a weekend of beer drinking. One more day of drinking allowed in August, my daughters 21st birthday, then NO MORE until that scale reads 150 pounds!)

Later I had a cereal bar. I do not know why I even bought them. Total trigger food for me. We had someone stay here over the weekend and I know I stocked the fridge and pantry with things I thought she would like, knowing I would probably binge on them later. Later in the morning, I fixed some coffee, and had another cereal bar. Then I had some cookie butter on some pretzels, and a bag of Baked Lays. Not because they sounded good together, but because they were the first carb thing I saw when I opened the pantry door. Then I re-arranged the pantry so the carb crap is on the bottom shelf where it should be!!!

Then I decided to make something healthy with Quinoa, since I had bought a very large bag of it a while back at Costco, and haven't even opened it. I googled some recipes, and settled on.......

Not a salad, not a veggie dish, not a soup.......nope.

Peanut Butter Quinoa Cookies. Gross, huh? Yip. Did I mention the carb cravings?

Well, here they are....The texture is just weird. I think if I make them again, likely not, I would press them into flatter cookies and bake them longer so they are crisp. It's more protein bar like? And soft. 2 PPV.

If you think you might like them, give them a try! These have raisins, but I'm thinking Chocolate Chips!!! (Damn you, sweet tooth!)

Quinoa Cookies



I cooked a large amount of Quinoa, as suggested on other blogger's blogs, so this week I will cook something delicious and healthy with it.

So......I left the house.....this usually helps when I'm on a binge.

I planned Taco Salad for dinner, but Mike made plans at the last minute, and who wants to cook for one?

I peeked in the freezer....Edamame? It's been in there a while. I cooked up the bag, salted them just a bit, and sprinkled a little Parmesan cheese. Not too shabby. 2 PPV.





The water was even difficult for me to get in today!! And I'm kinda cranky! Put a bunch of sh*t in your body, and that's how you feel. You really ARE what you EAT!

Look at all of the life lessons I'm learning!!

OH! AND? I am totally sucking at my online Best Body Bootcamp.

If I'm not being honest, then I'm not doing anybody, including myself, any good at all.

This has been a reality check.

Wednesday?

1. Bootcamp
2. Eat only 26 PPV of good, quality food. Photo and blog it all.
3. Drink 12 glasses of water.
4. Smile
