Lokai - Love

Good Morning Cheeseburger Lovers,

My philosophy in life has always been to come from a place of love for every aspect of your life. A pretty simple yet complex and often difficult to apply philosophy.  In saying all this my husband and I just bought these bracelets that I feel really embrace this philosophy but in a different sense. They are called Lokai bracelets. Their motto is "sometimes your on top, stay humble. sometimes you've hit a low, stay hopeful." It's a rubber bracelet that has mud from the Black Sea (the lowest point of the earth) and water from Mount Everest (the highest point of the earth) To represent your highs and lows. Beautiful am I right... How could you not purchase one.

Why Hello Again.

Why Hello Cheeseburger Lovers, How I've missed you. 

So Vacation was amazing! My sweet step mother was on board with this "crazy health food" as my father would call it! Penelope & I had such an amazing trip, and my sweet husband painted the whole exterior of our house! (from blue to grey) It looks so great now! Thank you babe. 

I can't believe it... I'm so happy to tell you I lost: 1 lbs while I was on vacation!  For a total loss of 27 lbs! Almost to the 30lbs mark people!!! I lost 1 inch off my bust, 1/2 an inch off my waist and 1/2 an inch off my hips! (For a grand total of 2 inches lost this week.) 

I tried to resist all the urges to eat horrible things (I let myself eat more carbs than I normally do, and I did eat some chips, because we were on Vacation!) But I think I did really well. 

Here's the Menu from the week: 

Wednesday: 

Breakfast: Strawberries & Apple

Lunch: Snack Wrap at Mcdonalds

Supper: BBQ Chicken Breast & Toss Salad

Thursday: 

Breakfast: Pineapple, 1/2 Banana,  Mary's Organic Crackers & Peanut Butter, Coconut Water
