It’s been a relatively good week getting back on the plan. I lost over a pound and a half and would have probably lost more if I hadn’t gone to a great cookout and eaten my weight in potato chips because we didn’t eat until 9 pm! That and we had pizza and movie theatre popcorn yesterday (those can’t have helped either). But overall, it’s been a great week! I found this new breakfast I love to eat- Nonfat Greek Yogurt, sprinkle on some fresh blueberries and frozen raspberries, top with a little demerera sugar for crunchiness- it’s so delicious and only 3-4 points depending on how hungry I am and how much yogurt I eat. This is a bit of a breakthrough for me because I really hate yogurt. Up until now I have not liked the stuff at all, I will eat it if it’s the only thing around, but I don’t go out of my way. I think growing up in Germany I was spoiled by high quality yogurt- in Germany the yogurt is thicker and less sweet, the way I like it! Well I found this Greek strained yogurt that is nice and thick- I get the plain stuff and add my own fruit and sugar- it’s perfect!

This week will be a blast. I am going to work a bit on this monster of a paper that I still have to work on for the group class I took. Fortunately we are doing the paper in pairs, so my friend and I will be tackling it together. We hope to get a good start on it tomorrow. As for the rest of the week, Jered, Clayton, my mom and I are flying out to Kansas City for Joanna and Matt’s wedding on Thursday. We fly out early Thursday morning and come back late Monday night. I am so excited!! I am a bridesmaid and Jered is a groomsman. We also just found out we are going to the lake house on Sunday after the wedding! I am very excited for this trip!
