Hey, everyone! I'm back from the shore. Internet access was dicey and although, I did try to post a few times, it never made it to publish because I would lose the connection :( Anyway, it was a great time with my friend,
Coleen and her daughters. She invites us every year and we really enjoy spending time with them; our daughters love hanging out together and we yack the days and nights away! She is also a trooper about following my "healthy lifestyle" as she affectionately calls our stay with them,
Fat Camp;P She allows me to play chef, plan our meals and get in my exercise. It's so nice having that support and helped me stay as focused as I could. I did do quite a bit more snacking than I wanted to, but overall, I stuck with healthy choices.
I'm looking forward to spending some QT with the husband, so here's a quick photo recap of our eats. Enjoy and I'll be back tomorrow night for my regularly scheduled programming!

I love beaunch. That is great :)
Glad you had a great time.
Glad to hear you had a wonderful time. The last picture is beautiful. That cookie sounds yummy. The strawberries in the first picture are incredibly red. And I laughed reading the red red wiiiine. lol.
I'm glad you and the girls had such a good time! And the pics are awesome!
Cute picture of the girls. You should blow it up and frame it. What kind of sauce if any did you put on your spaghetti with zucchini and chick peas?
Hey babe! I stumbled upon your blog randomly today and I love it. Your food intake all looks so yummy! You've helped inspire me to switch up my food intake. I can be a creature of habit and I tend to eat the same things!
I just started blogging about a month ago and have a really great giveaway! Check it out : )

You make me smile!
Tasty Health Food - my fave, too! Especially with hummus:)
TJ - yeah, I'm gettin a little sick of all the pack, wash, repack, rewash ;)
Diane, Fit to the Finish - thanks, I love that one, too!
LK- Healthy Delicious - It was the most fun fat camp I've ever been to -lol!!
Mom on the Run - thanks, it was a great time:)
Kari - you know, it makes you feel sooo fine ;)
Andrea@WellnessNotes - thanks! The girls had a ball!
Mocha Trina - I adapted the recipe from Real Simple Magazine. It called for just using 1/2 c. pasta water and 1/4 c. of parm cheese to sauce the pasta, along with 2 tbsp. olive oil used to sautee the zucchini. It was good!!
peacelovenutrition - that's awesome!!
Weight Watcher Mama - I sent it via email (from memory); let me know if you didn't get it.
She-Fit and luckytastebuds - if you search my blog, the post containing my recipe should come up. If you can't find it, shoot me an email and I'll send it to you!
Dee - thanks:) I hope I was able to cheer you up; I know you've been a bit sad lately :(
Hey, Marisa! Missed you. Sounds like you had a great time at the beach.
The spagetti with zucchini and chickpeas DOES look great. Must give that a try.
By the way, finally got the Almost Breeze today. So now what to do with it? I KNOW YOU CAN GIVE ME SOME GOOD IDEAS. Something about a crack shake? :)
Hey Reen!!!! I love Almond Breeze for my cereal; I only use 1/2 c. and it's plenty and only 20 cals.! For the crack shake, I use Almond Breeze, ice, 1 tbsp. sugar free fat free pudding dry mix (whatever flavor you like - I like vanilla or white chocolate) and 1/2 c. berries of your choice ( I like strawberries best). You'll love it!
