Weigh In #2.5 - It could be worse and I won't cry

So it's an official weigh in day (and seeing as how I conveniently missed the last one I will make sure this will never happen again) and I have kept my promise to myself to eat breakfast every single day!!
I get up really early relative to when I leave my house in the morning so I have been getting up and having a banana right away then a couple hours later I will make a little piece of ham with a soft over easy egg.  Mmm Mmm Mmm

Like I had mentioned before, my life has been INSANE lately!!! I started my 2nd job the couple nights a week and that whooped my ass.... and I mean WHOOPED!  Good, I need it!  I have also been pursuing a new direction in my career that has taken up some serious extra time.  That being said, I am taking this weekend to actually write out my work out plan now that I have my life schedule kind of in place.  For instance, Monday and Tuesday will be my off days as I work 2 jobs Monday and Tuesday hurts my life after running my ass off at work for 2 nights in a row.  I'm debating which facility to use though.  I have remarkably lovely friends who have offered to lend me their gym pass to check them out to help me find which I prefer #somuchlove  ~yeah I just did that, what of it?!

Oh Ben, how I love thee......
Ben has decided to get on board with me!!! Thank baby jesus in roller skates cuz life is tough staring at someone eat potato chips in front of you!  I'm excited for us!  We did a half major grocery shop together (which was actually the first since we've been together believe it or not). It at least gave us the basis of a few meals on deck.

Going to the Dr......
I am making an appt for the upcoming week to have some bloodwork done.  I need to see where all of my levels are at, including hormonal, to help me adjust what foods my body NEEDS.  I have always suffered from extreme anemia etc. so I wanna get myself in check - nah w'mean?? ~yeah it's pronounced as it's spelled.......

Oki dokie.... back on track for the day.... I have a recipe I would like to share with all y'all***

Chocolate Avocado Pudding - Get in my Belly
1 ripe avocado
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/4 cup honey/agave nectar - whateva
1/4 cup almond milk (I used natural unsweetened, but do as you wish - But I bet coconut milk would be AMAZING)
1 tsp vanilla extract

Blend it up Blend it up Blend it up!

Throw it in the fridge for a few hours and serve with a whipped "cream" of your choice (or a dollop of vanilla yogurt), fresh berries, cinnamon, chopped nuts, coconut, etc etc etc...
**It took me honestly less than 4 minutes to make...I believe in you, I burn down kitchens

**RANDOM TIP OF THE DAY**
If you measure out the cocoa FIRST in the measuring cup, the honey and the milk won't even stick to the cup AT ALL!!!! the cocoa powder creates some kind of bad ass layer that makes for super easy cleanup.  LOVE IT

K is everyone ready for this???
Official Weigh In #2.5
164lbs

It could be worse and I wont cry... I feel really good and that's what matters first and foremost.  I haven't been bloating or feeling disgusting.  I'm on the right track! The rest will come

The Dirty Truth - Weigh in #1

Ok, so Inspy told me it didn't matter what a failure this week had been, it was important to post my official weigh in.  Ugh here goes

Weigh in #1: 164.5lbs

I've been much better off this week.  I've been eating healthy and despite the heat been able to work out.  I will post what my work out plan is later today, but for now I must get to luxurious life of drinking wine.....
