Weekend update! I HATE MONDAYS.

Hello,
It is Monday evening, but at least i am trying to get in a short and sweet post!
We got to spend time with my family over the weekend in Auburn, which meant AUNTIE TIME!
& thankfully we planned it just right to where Miss Delaney got to go with us! :) We dragged storm along too. I was anxious about how the weekend would go with Storm, WAY better then i expected.

The weekend start off by taking Storm to get weighed so we could give her, her monthly trivexis pill. She is 48.6lbs, so i was right by telling everyone she is pushing 50lbs. She will be 6 months december 9th, SO we scheduled her surgery to get spayed December 6th, i am one nervous fur momma.

We picked Delaney up right before 4:30 and headed to auburn. 

& we left around 1ish on sunday!

What a great weekend overall, it of course went by too fast! I love and miss my family so much. 

Saturday i went to meet my newest niece :) 

Hannah Jade Brown, My best friend megan is now a mommy of two :) 

She was born friday morning. 8lbs 9oz 19 1/2 inches long! FULL HEAD OF HAIR! 

megan and I have been friends for 10+ years i believe. She is close to my family and I cannot wait to see her at Christmas time. 

The majority of our weekend was hanging out at my parents, eating and spending quality time with my niece who is gonna be 4 months December 6th. 

Miss Delaney with Tayling, sorta her cousin since Tevis and I will be getting married one day :) 

Oh yea this melted my heart!

White tree, blue lights, light & dark blue ornaments and then misc. Colts, Yankees, and Michigan ornaments. WE love it. & its Storm's first Christmas, she hasn't messed with the tree too much, YET! My fingers are crossed we don't have her knocking it over or anything lol. I cant wait to continue to grow my Christmas decorations. I hope to put a tree in our bedroom too :) I wish i was like Jodi with all her pretty trees and decorations.

Let's try this again!

I start and stop this journey over and over and over!
It's time yet again to try and get back on the right path of leading a healthier lifestyle.
My eating HABITS SUCK!!!!!!

I downloaded My Fitness Pal, logged all my food on Tuesday. My username is britney502.
I hope to continue tracking my calories and getting tons of support from my awesome RLF and Blogger friends.

I do have a cheat day, mainly Saturdays where i don't worry about calories but i will consciously know to be good still. Counting calories suck sometimes lol.

I am drinking a shake for breakfast.
It includes:
Slim fast meal replacement powder
1 cup of milk
fruit.
Altogether about 270 calories. 

The last week for my lunches i have been having:
-Turkey Wraps with fruit
-Turkey sandwiches on toasted wheat bread with a bag of baked chips (only 110 calories), string cheese
-Salad & Green Tea
-Tuna Wraps/sandwiches with fruit
-Tuna w/crackers with fruit or whatever

SNACKS:
I just eat whatever fruit or veggies i have in my fridge. :)

Dinner:
It really varies on what I have, i try to look up good healthy recipes. I eat chicken, pork chops, salads, crock pot meals, etc etc.
Tonight i made Chicken, Cauliflower mash and a small salad! && i am under calories still so i will most likely have a healthy snack still before bed :)

This is all it took to make the cauliflower mash. SO GOOD! 

Here is the recipe! :) 

INGREDIENTS

1 Head Fresh Cauliflower

2 Tablespoons Water

1 Pinch (to taste) Salt

1 Pinch (to taste) pepper

1 Teaspoon Garlic Salt/Powder

Parmesan Cheese(however much you want)

2 Tablespoons Butter

DIRECTIONS

Clean and section Cauliflower, 

get a pot of water to boil, once boiling put the cauliflower in there for approximately 9-10 minutes (until tender). 

Remove, drain, add seasonings and mash by hand, mixer or food processor(i used a mixer).

and ENJOY! 

Depending on your carbohydrate intake for a more creamy consistency you can add cheese, creamy dressing, sour cream or additional butter to taste.

There are SOO many recipes out there for cauliflower mash! So get on pinterest and check them out! 

Hope everyone is having a great Wednesday! Much love, xoxo

This or That LINK UP! Fears...

Linking up with some awesome girls for a THIS or that link up.
Candra, Jodi, Kristine, and Katie

• Heights or Deep Water? -- I don't like either, i cant pick one. Heights are scary i like stop breathing, i hate it. Deep water, screw that, you don't know whats down there or what could get you! EEEEEEk! AHHHHHHH just thinking about these two freak me out. 
• Snakes or Spiders? -- Spiders, HATE THEM! they creep me out, i cant kill them on my own. and just knowing that we probably eat some during our sleep in our lifetime just makes me want to sleep with duck tape on my mouth or something. I wish spiders had their own world. 
• Losing all your teeth or losing all your hair? -- I think I could be okay with losing all my hair, because i could have fun with wigs and always have a new look. 
• No voice or no Hearing? -- i would have to say no voice. I would rather Sign, text, email or write to my friends and family rather then never ever hear their voices again! 
• Eat a bug or eat Intestines? -- OMG i don't even know!  IF I HAD TO PICK, a bug. 

I feel like I need a shower and an adult beverage after those questions LOL

next weeks questions is the Food Edition to help celebrate Thanksgiving!! The questions are:

Stuffing, mashed potatoes?

Homemade cranberry sauce, store bought cranberry sauce?

Pumpkin pie, pecan pie?

Cooking all day, cleaning up all night?

Thanksgiving Day parade, Football game?

Thanks ladies for this link up, i am busy with getting school done and not motivated to come up with my own material so this helped me out a ton! Now i can go back to focusing on school. 

Less then 4 weeks LEFT! wahooo.
