GOOOOOOD MORNING VIETNAAAAAAAAAAM!!!!!

(Did anyone get the reference yesterday?)

Today was awesome! Not just because the Noles won, but it was great just to have some time to hang out as husband and wife. Grad school has become both of our mistresses.

This morning we went downtown to the Farmer’s Market. There were a lot of cool booths with everything from art to walking sticks. We were on the hunt for some fresh produce and of the three booths, we only found one that looked legit (the produce at one booth had stickers on them like they had just bought stuff from Walmart and brought it there. Shady City my friend.) Anyways, we came upon this cute old couple (that didn’t look like they could pick up a watermelon) and oh boy what a spread they had! We got, peppers, zucchini, red potatoes, and whatever else is in the picture. We bought pretty much all of our weeks worth produce for $12.50! Can you say deliciously legit? There is something about organic food that just feels, and/or tastes, right like it was the way God intended produce to be: without all the harmful stuff. I would definitely suggest finding out about when your local Farmer’s Market is open. Living organically is not necessarily important for a diet, but it is for a lifestyle change.

Breakfast: Just an orange for 1 point

Lunch: Since the FSU game was on at noon, we wanted to make some concession stand food again like last week, so we did frito pie again but this time with a freshly cut up jalapeno. So good! The chips (1 1/2 serving) was 4.5 points, the chili is only 5 points and the cheese was only 1 point. My mouth was burning after so I had a 1 point Fudgesicle to extinguish the flames.

Dinner: Tonight Megan made an awesome oven baked fried chicken with her famous sour cream mashed red potatoes that we got today. Since we got jalapenos from the Farmer’s Market, I wanted to make some jalapeno poppers like my dad does, so we cut them in half , filled them with low fat cheddar, and wrapped them with center cut bacon. It was a fantastic meal to say the least. The chicken was 5 points, the potatoes were 5 points as well and 4 jalapeno popper halves were just 3 points.

So far today I’ve tallied 25.5 glorious points. So I’ll probably have some dessert or some milk or something like that. Just out of curiosity does anyone have a good Iced Chai Tea recipe? I’ve been looking for a good one.

Anyways, tomorrow is weigh in day (hooray!) I’m always scared of being optimistic but I’m hoping between the working out and staying within my points I should be alright. So this week I’ve thought a lot about creating some goals and I have figured a big one out. Stay tuned tomorrow and read all about it. Until then, see ya tomorrow.
