It's Friday!

Good morning everyone!

TGIF! I am so excited for the weekend. I am going to watch my brother wrestle on Saturday and then I am heading to the casino for the night with some girlfriends. I am a little nervous because we will be going out to eat on Saturday night and it is difficult for me to make healthy choices when I eat out. I have always struggled with this and am fighting to break the habit. I will let you know how that goes :)

Last night I made a very tasty smoothie and I wanted to share the recipe with you. Take 1 cup of strawberries, 1 cup of ice and 1 cup of "V8 Splash Tropical Blend" juice and blend together on high until smooth. It was delicious and only roughly 140 calories! Once I even added celery to get some veggies in and I couldn't even taste it!



I decided that Friday is going to be my official weigh-in day. Since I haven't weighed in in front yet I will use this weight as my "starting point" for future weigh-ins. This morning I weighed in at 236.3 lbs; a nice surprise considering that right after Christmas I weighed in at around 244 (yikes, I know.)

I hope everyone has a fabulous day today. Remember that you are beautiful both inside and out and that you deserve every great thing that life has to offer.

If you ever get down just remember this: "Friends are there to lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly."

Much love!

    Happy Friday! Happy weigh in!

    Thanks for making me "be good" at lunch! Crappy weigh in = crappy attitude for me! You're the best!

    Loves!

    Great quote. Found your blog through Lindsay at priorfatgirl.

    Looking forward to watching you lose those pounds.

    Yaya, I'm a Minnesotan born and raised :) Hope it warms up for you soon.

    Hi there!
    Just found you; I think we might be soul sisters. I think this for 2 reasons:

    1) MY blog is flab to fab. YOURS is fat to fab.
    2) We both weigh in on Fridays!

    Hee hee, hopefully you can sense my humor here and not freak thinking I'm a weirdo. ;-)

    Happy weigh in, and I follow you now!

    And, um, apparently I have some dyslexia issues. I meant "not think I'm a freaking weirdo" NOT "no freak thinking I'm a weirdo"

    :0)
