Make your own low-fat ranch!

Perfect jars for dressing!

So I found a recipe on pinterest to make your own low-fat ranch using Greek yogurt and low fat milk. I found some jars this weekend at Saver's that will work great and heading to the grocery store tomorrow to pick up all of the ingredients! Yummo! Hope it works out great, I'll post pics of the final product and a link to the recipe!

Bread!

I broke down and had bread today, TWICE!!!! I'm disappointed in myself but I did make it a whole week without eating any bread or sugar. However, the bread was whole wheat from Subway and then I had 2 small pieces of bread from Outback. Normally we don't eat out during the week much less twice in 1 day but today is my husbands birthday. He guilted me into eating cake too, ugghh! I only took two small bites and threw it in the trash. I have eaters remorse even though I didn't gorge or overeat because I am so ready to lose this weight. On a positive note I am down another 1lb but we will see how it goes at weigh in on Friday. Have to go Friday this week since Easter is this weekend and we will be out of town. Drinking lots of water right now hoping I didn't throw everything down the drain for bread. :(

Food Flop!

Mine don't look as nice as the picture either!

One more post! Has this ever happened to you? You find an awesome recipe, from pinterest of course, and you make it with the highest expectations and it turns out to be a g BIG flop! Well....that happened tonight! I followed the recipe and even made them with my kids but the meatloaf cupcakes did not go over well in our household! My 3 year old took 1 bite and spit it back on his plate and my 11 year old had to pile extra mashed potatoes on hers to get them to go down! So needless to say I am not sure I will be making these again! I can't even say I was a big fan of them! I didn't get to smother mine in potatoes so I opted for Siracha sauce to get them down too! Boo to epic fail dinners! Here is the link and you can see how sad mine look compared to the blog I got the recipe from! Hers look so much better!

Meat Loaf Cupcakes

Ouch!

I'm sore! I got in a good 34 minute work out today! I did 34 minutes because on the 17 day diet you are supposed to exercise 17 minutes a day in the first phase (which is very doable!) but I didn't exercise Friday night or Saturday so I doubled up today! I used our treadmill in a few different ways like walking sideways and backwards! It was interesting and challenging, I am already sore and it's only been 2 hours. Wonder how sore I will be in the morning. It feels good to be sore, haven't felt sore in a LONG time!
