Did everyone have a good weekend? Mine started out not so great, but finished up ok. :)
So, Thursday, I left work at 9:30am, with a horrible headache, and a low-grade fever (99*F). I basically spent the day in my sweats, hoodie, buried under a blanket in bed. Bad, bad day. Friday was a bit better, but not by much. I still stayed at home, still with the headache, but the fever was gone. Saturday I was better.
Saturday I made steak fajita egg bites out of leftover steak fajitas from a local Mexican restaurant. Egg bites are of course based on The World According to Eggface's Egg Bites.
They are fabulous. I still do them with some salsa on top. :)
Yesterday, I had to bake cupcakes to take to my daughter's sitter today, since today is her birthday. I'm totally proud of myself, because I did not taste the batter or lick the frosting at all. And frosting is a trigger food for me. So, yay for conquering my trigger foods. I did decide to make myself a treat though. I found a recipe on Pinterest for "Cheese crisps." Basically, Cheese-Its but made out of cheese... that's been baked... and that's it. I placed 1/4 slices of pepperjack cheese, and 1/6 slices of provolone cheese on some parchment paper, and stuck it in a 250* oven for 20 minutes.
The pepperjack comes out spicy and a bit chewy, and the provolone comes out crispy and smoky. I'm not a huge fan of the provolone, so, unless I'm using it to dip pesto or bruschetta, I probably won't be making that one again, but the pepperjack is awesome. I did read that it's better if you use the Sargento Ultra Thin slices to get them nice and crispy, or you can pop them under the broiler for a bit to get them to crisp up. They're great straight from the fridge, or, I intend to use them with salsa to dip. :)
I haven't really felt like pampering myself at all since surgery, and that's not a great thing. Self-care is a big part of every day life, and so I decided to give myself an at-home pedicure. Before I could get that far though, my little one saw me looking at my different nail polishes and decided that she wanted some. So, I painted her nails since today is her 2nd birthday.
After hers were done (she LOVED them), I gave myself a pedicure. I don't really do much with my nails, because I hate taking care of them... hate redoing them. Polish seems to stay longer on my toes, and no one sees them anyways, so, if it's a day or two before I can take care of the chipping, ect. it's no biggie.
Even though it looks black, the color is actually a really dark, dark purple.
The husband and I also went to the mall this weekend, and we hit up the Think Geek store. They had t-shirts by one get one free, $15. I got a super cool Jack Skellington shirt
and a Luna from Sailor Moon shirt. The Luna shirt is a Junior's size Large, which I can't quite fit into yet, but since I'm still losing, I'm hoping on getting into. If not, oh well. I also got my final birthday present in the mail over the weekend... I got my Fitbit Charge HR 2!
So, the oops I mentioned above is actually kind of a cool Oops. When I was at my last appointment, the dietitian told me that she found a 380# weight from when I was in pre-op. So, I had started counting at my first dietitan class, and that's still what I count as my starting weight, but, if I go from the 380# weight, I get to see this:
Pretty cool. :D
Finally, the big exciting thing I mentioned in previous posts? Yeah, not happening. It was that I was looking into going back to school to become a registered dietitian, but, because of a few factors, no, it's not happening. It kind of sucks, I was totally excited for it, but, meh. We have other dreams that were going to have to get put on hold while I went back to school, so, we can pursue those instead. :)
So, how was everyone's weekend? Anything exciting happen?
