Hot for Hunky Husbands Challenge-Weigh In #2

Howdy y'all.

I know Jordan and I are supposed to weigh in on Saturdays, but I will not have access to a computer tomorrow, so I thought I'd do a weigh in today instead.

Remember????

We're doing the Look Hot for Our Hunky Husband's Challenge!!!
Look out now!

My first weigh in, last week, to kick off this little shin dig was: 152.2

My current weight is: 149.8

Total loss for the week is: 2.4 lbs

BOOM!!!!!

I want to thank clean/real eating, no booze, and getting my soon to be shrinking pooper outside and to the gym, to run/walk for this lovely accomplishment. I owe it all to you! *Bow*

I plan on doing a buttload of hiking and walking this weekend and am even going to hit up the gym again on Sun. So the numbers should keep going down, down, downtown!


On another note, I had a major melt down yesterday where I just felt like smooshed dog poo and was craving chocolate like a strung out hooker craves the crack pipe. It was not pretty.
BUT.
I did not buy the Milky Way Of Death, or trudge down the V-Day candy aisle, or hang upside down with my mouth agape under the chocolate ice cream machine.


I took some amazing advice from my sista from anotha motha Angie and went to the nut aisle. You know I love me some nuts. That come off the tree, you dirty birds, not the other kind.


Anyway, I bought these per her suggestion:


And yes, I am making out with them because I now love them more than all the sprinkle covered cake donuts in the world. Don't hate.


Angie: There are no words to express my gratitude to you for enlightening me to this little gem packed away in the pretty green container. I will forever be in your dept.


Here's the nutrition, in case you were wanting it:
OK, not the best picture. Just google it.

Kinda high in cals and fat, but their nuts people. NUTS. Not M&Ms or Reece's Pieces. They are good for you.


Next on my list is to find these:
MINT DARK CHOCOLATE ALMONDS!!!!!!!

I think I just had a foodgasm.

OK, gotta go.

Peace out my homies!!

**UPDATE** Just found a recipe to make my own cocoa roasted almonds HERE. Looks easy and I am totally trying this on Sun. (Because y'all know that little container that I bought will NOT last the weekend.)

  11. I see those almonds and have always wondered if they taste like a bad swiss miss mix - apparently not! Going on my grocery list!

    And WOOT!! on the 2.4 lbs - way to go!

  12. I can't have those almonds in my house. I like them TOO much. No portion control. Okay, that's not true. I carefully measure out a portion. Eat it. But then I carefully measure out another portion:(
