Meaghan (BFF that she is) kindly pointed out that it had been a while since I've posted anything here & suggested I post a new goal that I'm working towards... So here it is...
My new goal is to get to my goal weight (145 lbs) by Sept 1st. It will take a lot of work... but if I can do it, my reward will be a weekend in Edmonton (at one of the Fantasy Hotels attached to West Ed Mall & a shopping trip at said mall. So here it goes & I'll keep you updated with my progress.
In terms of working out lately... I've been going to bootcamps at V)2 Max & running on my new treadmill... A girl from work (Jilayne) comes over 4 times a week at 5:00am & uses my elliptical while I use my treadmill & then I make her a breakfast shake (5 days a week) & in exchange for this she watches Owen while I'm at bootcamp Mon, Wed & Fri. So that's been going well... she's on holidays this week, but we'll be back at it bright & early Monday morning :)
And as far as eating clean goes...well.... aside from the Easter chocolate disaster of 2011...things have been okay. 80% of my meals are clean...it's just the junk I've been eating in between meals lately that have set me back a bit... But I WILL get back on track... I've come too far to lose sight & give up now :)

You asked...
- I bought some books. I had too. I'd like to know your simple go to meals and snacks. xoxox....
My go-to snacks are: an apple OR the cranberry almond thins
(red box from Costco... individually wrapped at 100 cals) w/ almond butter, 
My go to meals are I always have a huge salad in the fridge & I'll vary what my protein is that goes with it. Like an egg & an egg white with walnuts (that's my fave right now). Or a chicken breast, or shrimp. At lunch time I'll have a piece of Ezikiel 3:9 bread w/ tzaziki. Supper is usually a salad again w/ a different source of protein & my carbs come from fibrous veggies at that point (no traditional carbs after about 3 or 4pm) If I'm sick of salad I'll saute spinach & mushrooms w/ shrimp & lots of garlic/chilies.
Usually I'm eating after my bootcamp in the evening, so I'm not hungry enough to have an evening snack, but if I am, I'll have yogurt w/ fruit or if I want something "bad" I'll take a few individually wrapped 85% cacao dark chocolate squares & dip them in almond butter. YUM!
Now I'm not perfect & I'll freak out every now & then... but my freak outs are more controlled & conscious than they were in the past...like I'll get a mini one flavour blizzard instead of a medium two flavoured one. And I'll let myself have a nice restaurant meal every once and a while. That way I won't go crazy.
Now that I'm done the competition, I'm okay with losing at a slower, consistent pace. I KNOW the rest of the weight will come off... I have confidence in that fact (something I never had before :) I just have to keep working!
Keep the questions coming guys... I love it!
