Beautiful sunset @shbarbor !
My daughter had some friends sleep over last night and they made cookies and they are so tempting me right now! I have such a hard time resisting cookies. One of the reasons I am holding off baking anything until closer to Christmas this year.
We also have our neighborhood Christmas party tonight so I’m sure I will eat and drink too much. Planning to sip on club soda in between drinks so we’ll see how that works out.1 -

PW: 223.9
CW: 224
My actual weight last Saturday was 224.9. Not sure how I got confused but it's all good. Hoping for a 3-pound loss for the next three weeks, but realizing it is probably not going to happen. I'll do my best to get there, though, so I can meet my 50-pound weight loss goal for 2019.
This is not helping! I really need to figure out what's going on because this lack of sleep is causing my anxiety levels to rise. The gym is helping, but I need my 8 hours!!
Happy Saturday!1 -

Anything crunchy for me! Corn chips, crispy cookies!3 -
I tend to get a little loose on the weekends which has been hurting my weight loss. Come Monday I'm playing catch up from gaining a pound or two. I have to quit doing that, especially with the colder months ahead where I tend to get less active, like yardwork and other outdoor chores I do on weekends.
My cravings are pasta, pizza, cookies and cakes. Crunchy Cheetos and Doritos.4 -

Sleep as you know is important. 😊 Great job on setting your goals for 2019, very impressive!!
Sometimes when I am stressed or having issues sleeping I use an app called Insight Timer which leads you through breathing exercises, etc. Free app and its helped me.
Weight posted. Have an awesome Saturday!

OKAY I HAVE 2 RECIPES MAKE OVER FOR YA
CHICKEN FETTUCCINE ALFREDO WITH ZOODLES AND LASAGNA WITH TURKEY MILD ITALIAN SAUSAGE WITH ZUCCHINI NOODLES
Zucchini Noodle Chicken Alfredo
Ingredients
For 2 servings
• 3 zucchinis, ends trimmed
• 2 tablespoons butter, OR OLIVE OIL
• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• ¾ cup CREAM OR1/2&1/2 ( I USE 1%MILK AND IT'S JUST FINE)
• 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped, plus more for serving
PREPARATION
1. Using a spiralizer, mandoline, or vegetable peeler, turn the zucchini into thin noodles. Microwave the noodles for 1-2 minutes, and then drain any liquid.
2. Melt the butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chicken, salt, pepper, and garlic and cook until the garlic is beginning to brown and chicken is cooked through, about 7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan.
3. Add the cream, Parmesan, and parsley to the pan, stirring until evenly combined. Bring to a boil, and then stir until the sauce has reduced by about half, 3-5 minutes. Put the chicken back in the sauce and stir to coat. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.
4. Bring to a boil, and then stir until the sauce has reduced by about half. Remove from heat.
5. Toss the zucchini noodles in with the chicken mixture and stir until the noodles are coated evenly. Serve with more Parmesan and parsley, if desired.
6. ENJOY
I HAVEN'T FIGURED OUT THE NUTRITIONAL INFO AS OF YET. I AM STILL WORKING OUT THE KINKS. I HAVE DECIDED IF I WANT TO THICKEN IT WITH A SLURRY OF JUST (1TO1 OF CORN STARCH AND COLD WATER....1TBS).
i WOULD ONLY DO THIS AS THE MILK AND THE OLIVE OIL DON'T HAVE THE FAT IN THEM AS WOULD THE CREAM AND BUTTER.
THIS IS A RECIPE FROM ONE MY GO TO COOKING AND RECIPE SITE....TASTY.COM

Satisying Saturday - Cravings
Mostly, I just crave eating out. Especially when I’m in a bad mood or not feeling great. I’ve learned that having a clean kitchen really helps with that and also learning to cook some of my fav meals at home. And honestly, it’s partly why I run. On a long run day fitting in Chipotle or whatever isn’t a problem.
I’ve made a couple bad choices with eating out this week. Sore muscles and having to skip workouts really put me in a funk. I had an awesome run yesterday though and I’m feeling so much better and ready to move past my mistakes from earlier this week.3 -
