Recap of the week:

This past week has been crazy for me, yet it was the first week in a couple that I have finally dropped in weight! My dog had surgery and I have been very busy following him around, making sure he doesn't jump on anything. In a way, I can't wait for these next 11 days to be over, but I know that's no way to live life! Each day is precious, and even though I'm having a hard time keeping up, I need to take some time each day to realize how blessed I am. I tried to do just that, today.

For breakfast, I had a mimosa and an amazing omelete with some bacon on the side.

Breakfast

 I had left over salsa con queso chicken for lunch.

Lunch

 Then, for dinner, I tried a new recipe. I'll blog about that more tomorrow, though.

Dinner

For now, I'm off to watch Desperate Housewives and relax for the rest of the evening.
