Working on a masterpiece

I know I haven't mentioned our diet in a while. There's really not much to mention because it has become more of a way of eating than a diet now. We have our treats and goodies then go right back into healthy mode. My husband has lost well over 20 lbs, I'm at about the 15 lb mark...10 more and I think I'll be happy. The past 2 days I have walked to Wawa for a coffee in the morning and to Giant with Anthony at night . Yesterday morning, with Josh and music..at night with Ant and music. Today, I had my Mom on my phone headset. So, I found that as long as I either have someone to talk to, music or a mission then I can walk. I can't just walk to walk.
So, now that I have figured that out I am going to try to make this a routine!
We have become awesome at finding healthier alternatives too. Here are a couple of light options (sweet/snack fixes/staples) we have learned to love!
CocoPop Multi-Grain Cakes. They sell them at Wegmans and just started selling wheat. They are awesome for spreadable cheese and we just found out they get soft like bread when you put something hot on them. Mmmm.

We love these new Laughing Cow cheese flavors to spread on the CocoPops.

Like Munchos? We do! And these taste so much like them it's ridiculous. YUM!

This.every.night. hehe.

Yep, so that's how we have lost [combined] over 35 lbs. Just changing from real ice cream to yogurt, chips to pops and real cheese to a spread. We still have some junk on the weekends and I refuse to give up my wine. 

You know how you have a couple things that you know annoy your spouse? Well, one of those things that I do is decide to make something I have never made when we are going somewhere. It usually turns out fine, once I find the extravagant ingredients the recipe will sometimes call for and those few times where an "oops" comes from the kitchen. That leaves Anthony saying, "why didn't you just make something you knew how to make?"
I recently saw a recipe for Strawberry Shortcake Cheesecake...my initial thought: Oh, THAT recipe has nothing on me! I make an awesome Cheesecake and Strawberry Shortcake. I will create my OWN Strawberry Shortcake Cheesecake....I'm pretty sure they will wish they had emailed out MY version of it.
Yep, those are all of my thoughts when I see a recipe. I change it, I make it my own...sometimes it turns out amazing, sometimes it does not.
We are going to a baseball party tonight...I'm sure you already know what I'm bringing.
Back to my husband......

I'm quite sure he rolled his eyes. BAH HA HA!
