Adios Freshman 15…4 years later

Well…I FINALLY broke past the 15 pound threshold, but I'm not done yet. It's great to see my old body coming back!

All of these ice days have been throwing me off (and giving me major cabin fever). I feel like I am back on track with my body challenge and today is day 1 of my first 2-day cleanse! I am actually beginning to get the hang of cleanse days and enjoying how productive I am, kind of shocking. School is back in full swing after being closed all of last week. Ugh! Somehow I'm managing to hang on for the ride and crank out all of these projects piling up.

Between catching up with school, birthdays, tests, 5K races, Valentine's Day, and more school, I have managed to stay super busy!

Here come the PICTURES:

My awesome handmade wooden utensils that James brought back from Kenya! They're made from wood and the handles are made of bone. I'm almost too scared to use them!

We made a father/daughter team at the With or Without You 5K race and finally broke my goal of 30 minutes! Woo Hoo!

My snow angel :)

So much ice on the trees!!

Being adventurous in the snow.

Needless to say, I didn't waste any time in the ice storm!

A customer bought this balloon for me while I was working on Valentine's Day! So nice!

My new Delta Chi lavaliere :) :) :) 

Along with my key pendant from last year's Valentine's day and my Alpha Omicron Pi badge that I had made into a ring.

We took a cooking class for Valentine's Day at Cook's Warehouse. It was so FUN. We are already wanting to go back!

Our class menu:

Passion Fruit Mimosa (YUM)

Smoked Salmon Pâté Crostini

Roasted Beet and Goat Cheese Topped Salad

Cheese Risotto (we made 3 different kinds to try)

Duck Breasts with a Cherry Port Reduction

Warm Mixed Berry Crème Brulee

Rich Chocolate Truffles

Can't wait for the next!

Sorry about the delayed posting, school has been keeping me plenty busy!

Excited to get my nails done with my mom this week! :)

Fat-Free Greek Yogurt Cucumber and Dill Dip

Fat-free and PACKED with protein!

1-17.6 ounce container Fat-Free Plain Greek Yogurt (260 calories)

1/2 Hot House Cucumber, diced (45 calories)

1/2 medium Onion, diced (20 calories)

1/2 package Fresh Dill, minced

3 Garlic Cloves, minced

juice of 1 Lemon

Salt and Pepper to taste

Dice cucumber and onion. Mince fresh dill and garlic. In medium-sized bowl, mix all ingredients together with a spatula.

Helpful hint: It tastes even better after being refrigerated overnight. Also, you can use a regular cucumber, but I recommend the hot house cucumbers because they have significantly less seeds and don't water down the dip.

Yields: About 6-1/2 cup servings. 55 calories per serving, plus the food used to dip!

Serve with your favorite vegetables, crackers, or Pretzel Crisps.
