Yup! 11.4 is the number. Gosh I get so excited when I lose. It makes the weekend much more enjoyable.
A few successes:
I traveled to Tampa last week for work and was able to stay on my diet.
I went for sushi with my girls on Friday and stuck with miso soup, salad and sashimi (this was so hard!)
As tired as I was on Saturday after WW, I hit the gym for 45 minutes of cardio and abs.
The next few weeks are going to be crazy and I can't wait for June 5th. I will have launched two markets for work and we will be moved in to our apartment. The travel should slow down after this date too. Yippee! I can't say that the gym will be my main priority during the next few weeks, but I hope to get there as much as I can. My goal is 2 - 3 times a week.
I didn't make it to the store yesterday b/c I don't want to stock the fridge until we move. We have plenty of food to get us by. Unfortunately I see a lot of eating out as well in the next few weeks...
My meal plan for the day:
Breakfast - 2 soy sausage patties
Lunch - Salad
Dinner - Taco Salad
I hope you all had a nice weekend! When is it going to warm up outside???

WW Success and Tofu
How about that blog title for today!?!? Ha.
It's been a wonderful weekend and I am loving the weather today. It has been somewhat of a lazy day which is how I like my Sundays.
A quick recap of the weekend:
Friday: Dinner at Public House and Something Borrowed. I got the pulled chicken salad at Public House and I am trying to figure out another excuse to go back and have it again. It was delish!!! Last time I had it (I know) I requested the salad in a wrap. It was tasty, but I am staying away from carbs for a bit so the salad worked out just fine. Something Borrowed was AMAZING!!! I can't wait to for Something Blue to come out!! That was the best surprise during the credits, a quick clip of Darcy in London surprising Ethan!
Yesterday was extremely busy! I got up early and went to WW. The last time I went was after a few weeks of traveling and my mind was in a different place. I am happy to report that I lost 3.5 lbs since then and I am at -10.4 lbs finally!! I gave myself yesterday to have a cheat day, but starting today for the remainder of the week, I am staying away from the booze and carbs. We met friends at Rockit for a farewell brunch for my dear friend Kyle. Post brunch, I came home to relax before going back downtown to meet some friends for drinks at Sable. They have sexy drinks and I highly recommend this spot! We had reservations at Paris Club which was delish! We ordered a bunch of starters and I had ahi tuna for an entree. Yum! I don't need to rush back there, but it sure was good. After a small bar crawl, I crashed hard for the night.
Today I slept in until 10!! I made a healthy omelette for breakfast and then we ran errands around the hood. BBB, Akira, T. Joes and now I'm home. I have a ton of work to do and I am prepping lunches for the week. My friend Emily had a salad a few weeks ago that I needed to try! It had lettuce, brocoli slaw, dried cranberries, edamame and baked tofu! I made this last Sunday and had it all week for lunch. The tofu is in the oven as I type! It's super easy to make and I feel like I won't get sick of it!!
Directions:
Drain the extra firm tofu
Once drained, dice tofu into cubes
Spray a baking sheet and spread the tofu on the sheet
EVOO, garlic salt and pepper and then in the over at 400 for 30 minutes. Yum!
Off to fix my lunches and do more work. I hope you all had a nice Mother's Day and weekend!

Lazy Lazy Weekend
Happy Sunday!!! I can't remember the last Sunday I've had where I have nothing planned. I have a to-do list that is a page long, but I am thinking about tossing it aside and just chillin. I was able to cross off a few of the to-dos early this morning which felt nice, but now I'm going to catch up on some DVR and put my feet up.
Speaking of feet, my left foot is still bugging me. The strap feels great when I wear it, but when I put pressure on the ball of my foot, I could scream! I've been wearing heels most days because it feels much better than wearing flats. I'm sure since it's nice out, my flip flops will make an appearance soon, but as of now heels are my best friend.
My mom was in town this weekend with some girlfriends so I met them for brunch, shopping and dinner yesterday. I also decided to stay out until 2:30 in the morning which is another reason why I feel like I am going to be lazy all day today. I loved spending time with the gals though. Their trip went by way too fast!!!
A positive of having my mom here was using her car!! I picked up some boxes at Home Depot for our move and hit the grocery store(Aldi and Trader Joes.) I stocked up on some healthy items including veggies, chicken, salad plus more!
My meal plan for the day:
Breakfast - Spinach and turkey omelette - yum!
Lunch - Turkey meatballs and a light chedder string cheese
Dinner - Veggie burger and salad
The gym will be happening this week! I am planning on going at least 3 or 4 times. I didn't make it to the gym this past weekend b/c work interferred which is a sad excuse, but I have been getting into the office very early so I can get a lot done before the phone starts ringing. I have quite a bit of trips coming up so I need to get back into my routine...
I am going to work on updating my blog as much as I can. It is on my to do list every day! It just usually gets pushed to the bottom.
Have a great week!

P.S. This just in...T Joes on Diversey will be opened in 5 days! Just in time for our move...bust.
