Hi everyone! I am feeling a tad happy over my recent fast food choices. Wednesday, I wanted a hamburger, so I went to Casey's gas station/deli by my apartment to buy a hamburger. They didn't have any ready, but discovered they sell pizza by the slice. So I bought 1 slice of pizza instead. It was tastier than I expected, although I admit 1 slice didn't completely fill me up. Now I have a place to go when I crave 1 or 2 slices of pizza, without having to buy (and eat) an entire pizza.
Thursday, I was still craving a hamburger, so I stopped by Braum's. My plan was to order 2 junior cheeseburgers and 2 small fries (1 for lunch, 1 for dinner). Then I noticed they had their chicken strip dinner on sale which I love. I was SO tempted, but it is huge and very high in calories.
You know that moment when you start to order, and you still don't know what choice is going to come out of your mouth? Poor choice or better choice? I had one of those moments. But, surprisingly, this time I went with the junior burger and small fry choice instead of the chicken strip dinner. And thoroughly enjoyed it. I did eat both small fries for lunch as I realized microwaving them for dinner would not be so great.
Someone on MFP once recommended researching fast food places in your area, so you can be prepared for those last minutes stops. I now have pizza and hamburger choices within my daily calories. Yay!2 -
@cre804 So sorry you lost your pup. I lost my sweet boy last year and miss him dearly. But I cherish those good memories and times we had together.0

What is everyones weekend plans?
I think I might be working my 2nd job tonight. I need to get 3 miles in today. 3.1 tomorrow after work, then 7 sunday. My poor feet
I start a second online job the same weekend I'm off to the beach as my parents are in the country. Worked late tonight, just eating dinner and then packing, showering and beautifying etc before getting some sleep and then up and off for a 6.30 train to be at the beach by lunch time, yippeee!
I'm telling myself now I'll be using the train time to do my content editing, but let's see!1 -

Okay I am not sure what is going on this week, I walk/ran everyday(I have been sore from running), I ate out lunch yesterday and food was salty. Not going to freak, will be extra careful next week, I truly thought I would be down a pound.4 -

Yay! 2.4 lbs down this week! Adding strength and my unbreakable vow (through another challenge) of no processed sugar on weekdays has really helped. Hoping this momentum continues!

Week 3's Group Challenge is posted in a new thread, so I'm posting it here as well. Hope to see you all participate starting tomorrow!
Not sure everyone knows, but I'm currently undergoing serious house renovations due to a storm which took place on Aug. 4th while I was out of town attending my Sister-in-law's funeral. This storm was followed last weekend by Hurricane Dorian. Thanks to the wonderful company that is doing my repairs and their quick patchwork to protect me until my scheduled repairs began on the 10th, Dorian wasn't too nasty to me! HOWEVER, all this being said, I'm basically living in a third of my home and cannot get to my kitchen without serious work. SO, this leads to the Week 3 Group Challenge...Kitchen Creations and Restaurant Sensations.
I'd like each of you to Name your favorite quick dinner meal, list the recipe if possible, including sides and drinks. Then, if you can't cook for whatever reason, what's your restaurant go-to meal, which is both delicious, nutritious and keeps you on track for your weight loss goals!! If you want extra credit, please include dessert. Pictures are nice, but make sure you include the recipes.
This will help all of us to make a new list of recipes, keep us inspired and MAKE ME FREAKIN JEALOUS, since I can't get to my kitchen!
Enjoy!!
Jessica
