    We drove 10 hours on Friday and 10 hours back on Sat, taking our daughter to school. I was able to make some good decisions though we were eating on the road. For instance, a classic chicken sandwich with no mayo from Burger King, and a hard-boiled egg and a banana at the hotel for breakfast. I hope I am back on track after a bad last week.

    Reflections:
    I am always so sad to see the weekend disappear, but it was a relaxing weekend. I was excited to find whisps(pretty much cheese chips) at the store and a couple other good finds. I am sorry I've been quite distant and not cheering you guys on! I am wishing for the best for all of you while I get my head back in the game!

    This weekend had a lot of delicious food! Here are some pictures (I'm terrible at rotating them!)

    Avocado Egg in A Hole(avocado, egg, uncured applewood smoked bacon, sharp cheddar cheese, and everything but the bagel seasoning)

    Grilled steak and veggies(asparagus, zucchini, onion and peppers.)

    @richmondwriter
    Way to go! Making good food decisions is hard when on the road. But, you did not let that be an excuse. That is a lot of driving, I bet you are exhausted.

    I just finished making hard boiled eggs for my breakfast to have with fruit for the next couple of days. Thank you for the idea!

    That food looks delicious.
    I so want to try the avocado in a hole.
    I am also sad the weekend has come to an end.

    @brandi_84 Yes! Definitely give it a try! It's simple enough! Just put some butter in the pan, add sliced avocado (cut out the hole), then crack an egg into each, sprinkle wotheverything but the bagel seasoning(or your seasoning of choice), cover for ~4mins, then add cheese and cover again until melted. Top with bacon (and chives if you wish!)

    I was surprised how easy it was to make, and my boyfriend requested it a second day in a row! :)

    Hey guys. Been awhile.
    Got back from vacation (super relaxing and much needed) and jumped right back into work. After 20 months of being promised, I finally got an employee to work under me so I won’t be so overloaded at work. Great news but the downfall is now i’m working super long days training this person and still trying to catch up on work. I don’t have much time to catch up on here or even get workouts in. I will still weigh in, although I’m not sure how good they will be. After the labor day holiday I am hoping to get back to some sort of normalcy (fingers crossed)

    I don't even know how I managed 45 carbs today! I splurged on cookies (slapping my own hand) and somehow came in under 50! I made a really yummy lunch for tomorrow at work(pre cooked bacon for the win). So far 3 for 3 days I've packed my lunch. Friday is right around the corner! Oh, and I got my new jeans today! While I'm grateful to be getting into smaller sizes, I really don't want to spend more money on clothes right now! 🤣
