Lox and Cream Cheese in a Quiche!

Lets start this post with a confession... 
Those of you who follow me on facebook already know this but last night GASP I had alcohol!
 I had to do it. If you are a teacher you know what I mean. 



Yes its true yesterday was extremely stressful! 
I won't go into the details but I had several things yesterday that made me seriously question my job. 
Those kind of moments probably should not lead to "Maybe I should have a drink!" but they did...

I started with plan A which was to go for a long walk with my husband. That helped a little but it wasn't enough. The beer he ran and got for me WAS. 

So yes I cheated on my goal of no alcohol and it wasn't a bachelorette party or wedding it was just a regular old Friday night at home with my husband. I don't really regret this decision because it did help me relax and let go of the stuff that happened at work. 

FAST FORWARD TO THIS MORNING 


I woke up and it was GORGEOUS outside!



I got stuff to have a bagel and lox but for some reason this morning that didn't sound quite so satisfying on my cool fall morning. 

So I pulled out my whole wheat crust recipe again and made my bagel and lox into a quiche. 



Wheat Crust 
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour 
  • 4 tbs coconut oil 
  • 2 tbs skim milk 
  • 3/4 tsp salt 
Filling 
  • Laughing Cow cream cheese wedges 
  • Liquid Eggs such as Break-Free Kroger egg product 
  • Capers 
  • Dill 
  • Smoked Salmon 




Put crust in the pie pan and then add all ingredients except eggs 


Add egg and bake at 350 for about 45 minutes 


 While it baked I went outside and played with my dogs, drank my delicious pumpkin spice coffee 


Sugar Free Pumpkin Spice Coffee Mate MMMM 



I love how our pool has been gorgeous the last month but its FREEZING ... of course!






After a good play session the quiche was done 











What a wonderful Saturday morning spent soaking in the gorgeous day

FITSPO

So maybe I have been under a rock but I just heard about this whole "thinspo" ban from pinterest, tumblr, instagram etc. I was never into "thinspo" because I don't want to look like a stick. Example of thinspo BUT NOW they are talking about if fitspo is also a negative thing. Example of fitspo  There are mixed emotions about fitspo. I personally think that it is beneficial to me. I don't beat myself up and it doesn't make me have an unhealthy view of my body or make me do crazy things like starve myself. It motivates me to go to the gym which I need to be doing. This is from the new york times about fitspo being the new thinspo " But in our rush to focus on health -- or at least the perceived appearance of health -- we’re simply setting up a new idealized figure to chase after, and not necessarily one that is any better for us. What kind of monster is against health? This kind, I suppose. While I mightily dig the notion of ind...

Crossfit and a sex doll.

I have been working out pretty consistently and have been weightlifting for a while, but I decided that I wanted to do something more. I have been thinking about trying CrossFit but I am scared to do it alone. I mentioned the idea to my husband and he said he was interested in trying it too. I am really interested in lifting heavy and getting more physical strength.  I am really proud that I have lost over 100 pounds, but I will say my body isn't exactly how I imagined it would be. I pretty much feel like this...  It's weird how your body just kind of deflates. My skin is weird. I am not really comfortable with my arms or thighs - hello short and tank top season. I also hoped my stomach would go away and while it is smaller it's just a smaller deflated version of what it was. I was morbidly obese and had a child. My stomach will probably never be viewed by anyone and that is fine, but when you look at this as motivation  and then you get...

Health and Beauty

This morning after my multi hour internet health blog and pinterest binge I was wondering should I be taking supplements? My husband drinks protein powder after he works out but he is big and not trying lose weight but build muscle. I want to build muscle too because ultimately I want to actually have a fit body not just lose weight. I wonder if I am supposed to lose the fat first and do weights obviously while I am losing weight but then once I get most of the fat gone and want to be a more serious muscle builder THEN take supplements? I don't even know if I want to take supplements. For some reason I feel like taking pills and powders is unhealthy. Maybe because I have a past with the whole diet pills, meal replacements etc. I don't think those work and I think they are a waste of my time and money. I want to do something that is good and right for my body. I want to eat FOOD not take short cuts that eventually fail me. There isn't a magic powder or pill thats going to ...
