Just when I thought the day wasn't going to get any better. . .I made pork chops.

So today has been a mildly successful day. Let's start with breakfast, ladies and gents. I woke up this morning with full intention of making an egg white, turkey bacon, and cheese omelette. This is what I got . . .


Apparently, I don't know how to make an omelette. Mostly because I've never made one before and it seemed easy enough. I'm wondering if my second try will look prettier, but until then I survived breakfast. Lunch was a Caear's Salad with grilled chicken AND I included my snack of celery and Laughing Cow swiss cheese. 


Looks tasty enough! Well, this girl has never had celery before in her life. Well I've had celery in chicken salad and in soup, but not at this magnitude. I was not impressed with lunch in general! The grilled chicken did nothing for me and I've discovered that I hate celery. PARENTS! FORCE YOUR KIDS TO EAT VEGGIES! FOOOORRRCCEEE! My parents did not force me to eat veggies, and I despise a vast majority of them. (Don't get me started on tomatoes.) Unfortunately I bought a lot of celery so this is going to be difficult. After what felt like the longest day of work ever, I came home to start on dinner, garlic and soy grilled pork chops, grilled zucchini, and a lime zest ricotta creme for dessert. 


BAM! BAM! BAM, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! I have never made pork chops before, (my mom never made them) and it was delicious! I'm such a happy camper right now, because after lunch I was pretty sure I was just going to come home and cry. The lime zest ricotta creme dessert is good, but I couldn't eat too much of it because of the acidity and I was pretty full from my delish dinner.

Today was my first day at work and with my "new" diet, so I was very interested to see how lunch would be. To my surprise, I think I've started a trend! Everyone was eating healthy! Salads all around! I love the limit of temptation, so hopefully the support will continue amongst all of us. But if you excuse me, I'm going to muster up the courage to work out. (GASP!) So here's to another day of being hungry!

I used to loathe tomatoes but I've come around to them, the trick is to not find ones so juicy (no pun intended). And the caveat to celery is light ranch :) Once you get used to it, it will change your life. One of my favorite snacks is celery and carrots w/ light ranch dressing! Yum...also HEB has fruit bowls already made in case you crave something sweet. Of course Trecha's helps too (You can take the girl out of the valley but you can't take the valley out of the girl).
