So, remember how it was just last week that D and I had the honest & frank conversation about how I needed him to support me in regards to healthy eating?
Well, apparently old dogs can learn new tricks because when I got home from work last Wednesday, I arrived to find that he had planned & prepared a mini-Halloween party for the two of us that was composed of all HEALTHY Halloween treats!
I mean, besides the fact that he's also Captain America, I'm pretty sure I have the greatest husband ever :)
He started off our healthy Halloween dinner with these:
Monster mouth caramel apples! (The teeth are made from sliced almonds!)
Followed by the main course:
Mummified Flatbread Pizza & Brussel Sprouts (btw- it's official, brussel sprouts are not for me and I promise it's not how they were prepared- I didn't hate them but the fact is they just have too much of a vegetable taste for me- bleck!)
And finally, dessert!
Frozen "carved" clementine shell filled with frozen greek yogurt and reduced sugar/fat chocolate sauce!
I've gotta say, for not knowing all that much about healthy eating (except for what I've taught him) and not really caring about what he eats for himself at all, I was super duper impressed with his take on a healthy Halloween dinner but more importantly that he obviously had taken to heart our conversation the week before. I'm a blessed girl.
Weigh In:
- Previous Weigh In: 176lbs
- This Weeks Weigh In: 172lbs
- Result: Loss of 4lbs!
My goal this week is to continue to lose another 2lbs per week and I'll be glad to take more than that a week as I know I have some tough weeks ahead (the Holidays but we are also traveling to Spain in two weeks) but nothing is going to stop me from reaching my goal of 160lbs by Christmas!
Question: Anyone have any good Holiday eating survival strategies to share?
