2 posts in 1 day & awesome meals?!

It's Thursday night. I NEVER blog on a Thursday night. BUT I have had an ephiany and wanted to share with all of you... hopefully someone reads this because I'm really proud!

I, Elle, who loves to go out to eat, haven't eaten out this whole week (well except for Monday when the Momma paid for it). This is a huge accomplishment for me because  

1) I only make meals for myself and I hate having a ton leftover 
2) I think it's easier to go to the closest restaurant than to go home and cook  
3) I'm trying to not grocery shop till I leave for Las Vegas. Anyways...

I was at the library studying and it got to be 6 and I was STARVING! But you know what I did? Instead of pulling into Panera, I went home. I popped a bagel in the toaster, veggie bacon in the microwave, and cracked some eggs. And guess what... it was delicious. It also only took 10 min. Big smiles coming from this lady right here :)

It might not look pretty but oh so tasty!

Here are a few other meals I've made this week

Instead of Panera:Everything Salad: lettuce, veggie chicken patty, peas, tomato, carrots

Instead of buying tuna lunchables I made my own: starkist tuna in water, greek yogurt & dill 

Instead of fast food I made: Veggie burger, sweet potato fries & watermelon. P.S I eat my watermelon with a dash of salt, does anyone else do this or am I the only one?

So those are my eats this past week. I hope to keep up with this streak. It also helps that I can eat my meals watching White Collar that Janae got me hooked on.

Isn't he beautiful? Much better than the typical frat boys I see...

Don't forget to link-up with Vicki for the Nail Files and Courtney for Yoga Challenge tomorrow!

Also, check out my blog from earlier today "It's Ok to be Thankful Thursday" :)

Yep Yep I'm a Healthy Eating Rockstar... So Far

Happy January 2nd!! I made it through 1st day with my goals! Yep Yep I'm proud of myself :)

So seeing how this is a fitness and health blog I though I would post my days eats... I won't always do this but I made some fun recipes from Pinterest I wanted to share.

Breakfast was oatmeal with PB & Honey. Iced coffee on the side :)

 Lunch was Annie's Mac n' Cheese. If you've never had this YOU HAVE TO TRY IT!! So good and so much better than Kraft for your body.

 My University (Michigan State University) football team played in the Outback Bowl today. In a triple overtime we won!! During the game I had homemade potato chips with Avacado dip (click here). The creamyness of the dip paired really well with the saltiness of the chips.

For dinner I had my favorite salad and a lean cuisine pasta steamer. My salad was Amazsauce! It's spinach, arugula, feta cheese, spiced pecans (here for recipe), and Newmans Own Rasberry Vingerette. The pasta was pretty good too :)

You may have noticed that I didn't eat a single meal out. That's because I'm linking up with Diana from The Chic Life for Eat In Month. Please link up and share your experiences. This will be my second challenge and it is so rewarding at the end :)

That's all for today folks. I'm off to get back in my teacher groove and see my kiddos!!
