We're in Albuquerque

I LOVE THE SUNSHINE!  We finally made it to Albuquerque and we are loving the warm weather and sunshine.  We are NOT loving that we still don't have a place to live...but oh well. 

We have some plans in the works and we hope to figure it out in the next week or so.  For now a storage unit for our stuff will do fine!

I have been a little lazy on Kristi Approved, and my commitment to blog about it every week.  Give me a week or two and I will be back with it.   I still have loved what I have learned and I have been MUCH better about eating often and making sure its healthier.

Anyway, when I actually have a kitchen I will get back with it full force. 

KA Update and Shake recipe

So after a week in Outer Banks, NC I lost a little ground on the wieght loss.  OOPS.  I ate a few too many home made cookies and twizzlers!  I actually did great on my meal plans until evening hit and we sat around a chatted and watched TV and Movies.  BUT, today is now three days after we have been back and I am back on track.  I gained 3 lbs and now they are gone.  I am sitting pretty strong at 150, which makes me crazy because I want to get below it so bad for GOOD!  I have seen as low as 148, but keep fluctuating to 150.  I just need to keep motivated....which I loved the story on Kristi Approved blog about Taunie, see for yourself her transformation. 

So across the country we go in less than a week, wish me luck on my eating habits on the road!  I NEED THE CHEERS and MOTIVATION...its running a little low.

Here is a shake variation that my friend suggested to me and I LOVE IT:

4 frozen strawberries
1 Scoop Protein powder (vanilla or strawberry)
1 Individual serve packets of crystal light energy ( I like wild Strawberry flavor)
1/3 cup raw oats
2 T milk
6 Ice cubes
Water to desired consistancy

Mix in blender...AWESOME!  (I love my Magic Bullet)

Outer Banks and link to Kristi Approved Giveaway

My Family and I are enjoying a week in Outer Banks, NC.  Its in the high 70's and low 80's beautiful and sunny.  We are here with 6 other families making a grand total of 14 adults and 13 kids all under one roof!  We are lucky to have rented a BEAUTIFUL house and we are really loving our last week together as the Penn State College of Medicine Class of 2010.

We have had such a blast playing on the beach collecting sea shells, hanging out in the hot tub and watching TV together.  Another thing we do together is EAT!  I have been pretty good at sticking to the Kristi Approved Live the Life program...but I couldn't NOT take a bite of the fresh baked cookies...(thanks Jordan!)   

But I do have good news....Give Away Today  is giving away a Kristi Approved 12 Week program TODAY ONLY!  So ENTER again and try to win it!   I may not be sticking to the plan exactly, but I am VERY confident that I will not gain even one pound on my trip!  Which is saying a lot with all of this good food.  I am loving Outer Banks, even with a sunburn.
