Good evening. Tonight was supposed to be a baked boneless pork chop kinda night..... But when I got home my port chops were still frozen. So it turned into a "make shift" kinda dinner. I decided to try something new. I have seen recipes on this and while I didn't follow one to a T, here is how I made mine.
I hard boiled 8 eggs(for me, I boil them for roughly a min, then I cover them and let them sit for 20 or so mins). I used 4 and i cut them up in a bowl. My avocado was already pre-sliced from using some this morning. I added 2 1/2 slices into the bowl. I used about 2 tsps of the creamy dijon mustard and about 1/8 cup or less of mayo and pepper.
I found a new bread(new for me anyway) at the store the other day and decided to use it with my egg salad. It's made by Alvarado St Bakery and it's called California style complete protein bread. Toasted some up and DELISH!!!
What am I doing with the 4 I have left?? I'm going to mix it almost the same but I'm going to use greek yogurt instead on mayo! And maybe even take out half the yellows....
PS..... your salad may have a green tint to it! That's normal! ;)

My Story..........
Ever since I was little,
I can remember being overweight. I remember being in the 6th grade and weighing 124lbs. I do not know why that one sticks out but it does. Almost all my friends were skinny. This lasted all the way through high school. In 11th grade, I didn't eat or ate very little for 3 months and had finally gotten into a size 5. One month later I found out I was pregnant with my first child. For 10+ years my weight would go up and down and up and down. When I met my husband 8 years ago I was 184lbs. And I was heavy then. Since having my daughter(3rd child), I had gotten up to 250lbs. I would crop my face out of pics, I would hide from cameras. I hated seeing myself once someone snapped a picture. I was embarrassed, ashamed, getting depressed, and fighting bilateral ankle instability, bilateral plantar fasciitis and migraines.
In 2014, my husband started working out. So I joined him. We have a treadmill, an elliptical, and a weight bench. For the summer we worked out every night. His weight came off alot easier than mine. I dropped about 15-20lbs. We went on vacation in August 2014 and I was super stoked about having lost weight. Then I seen our vacation pictures. And I was back where I was. My husband must have been content because he hasn't attempted to work out anymore.
In September/October 2014, an old coworker connected with me on Facebook. She asked me for months to think about and try Beachbody. I pushed her off and pushed her off. That is until November. By thanksgiving, I was ready. Ready for a change. Ready for a lifestyle commitment. Ready to get my life back and not let my body control me. I've been a beachbody coach for 4 months now, I am currently on my second program and I use Shakeology everyday. I am currently down a total of 41Lbs-20 ish from my Beachbody start.
I have learned new foods that I love. I have also found many that I ate way too often that will not return to my house. I have also learned portion control, how to say no--sometimes I still cheat. I'm not perfect. It's about progress not perfection. My family still does not eat like I do. That is also a work in progress. I have a husband who is overweight and has hypertension and I have a 6 year old daughter who is overweight.
This is my journey! I'm glad you are along for the ride.

My first blog
Hello, and welcome to my very first blog. I'll admit, i'm a little frazzled, skeptical and overwhelmed with having a blog. But i'm here, and I have on my big girl panties and a cup of coffee and ready to hit the road.
A little bit about me. I am a 30 something southern lady. I am happily married and have 3 children. I love to cook, read, write, be outside, go to the beach and my FLIP FLOPS! There is nothing, not even ankle problems or plantar fasciitis that will come between this girl and her flops!
I am the eldest of 3 girls. My parents are both amazing. I also have 16 first cousins. My dad is one of 7 children and my mom is one of 4. Lets just say I come from a large family. Family is a priority to me. I remember being a kid and going to reunions and not knowing who people were. My kids, not so much. we have family get together's about once a month. And every Christmas morning we have a huge breakfast at my aunt and uncles house. Love it!
I love life. I know I'm here for a reason, I do not know what that is yet. But, I'll enjoy the adventure until I find out!
