Extra Long Weekend

I was kinda grumpy yesterday by the time I ran a bunch of errands after work and I was ready to just go home and DRINK. 😉

My attitude was quickly fixed when I saw a package waiting for me. I was confused.  I hadn’t ordered anything….hmmm…I opened it and realized it was the gift I won from What Kate Ate! I won her Athenos Feta giveaway and I got a coupon for free Athenos product (can’t wait) AND a gift!

A Salad Pod!!! Sweet!!! I am sooo excited to try it. I love eating salads and would love to take salad to work for lunch. It’s hard to pack though. I have to put my salad and fixings in a zip-lock bag and then somehow put salad dressing in another container. Pain in the butt! I can’t wait to try this for lunches next week.

I was famished by the time I got home last night. I was on my own for dinner so I made a grilled cheese sandwich.

I use light Mayo and Sweet Honey Mustard. Then I added shredded Colby Jack cheese (shredded cheese melts better).

The grilled cheese turned out great.

I had the rest of my Thai soup with the sandwich. I picked out the mushrooms, of course.

How has your summer weight loss gone so far? Summer is coming to a close. Awhile ago I talked about How to Beat Summer Weight Gain (I often gain weight in the summertime) and I also talked about How to BBQ Healthier.

QUESTION: Were you successful in maintaining or losing weight this summer?

I bring that up now because it’s Labor Day Weekend! Lots of BBQs, picnics, and other fun food events. Do you have anything fun planned for the long weekend? And how are you going to make good food choices?
