Skinny Skating

OK...maybe I'm not "skinny" yet but I sure feel it!  In November, Mason and I went Ice Skating b/c he wanted to try and because I used to be really good at ice skating.  It was one of the most depressing experiences of my life.  I couldn't do it!  I couldn't ice skate and I really wanted to teach Mason how to do it.  I also fell a couple of times (embarrassing).  I only went around like 2 times and that was it...I was done and depressed and Mason sensed my disgust and said he was done and wanted to go home.  Sad :(

Anyway...fast forward to today!  Mason was invited to Ice World for a birthday party, Dom was invited too.  I took the boys with NO intention of getting on that ice!  Well, Mason fell once and was "done"...oh hell no, I won't have a quitter so I sucked it up and rented some skates.  Cue Madonna "Celebrate", if you took a holiday...(you get the point):  I ROCKED!  I was able to skate without any problem, front ways, back ways, I even turned the boys around a few times.  I skated non stop for like an hour!!!  IT WAS SO MUCH FUN!  It is truly amazing the difference that 40lbs makes.  I felt cute and agile, LOL!!!  This is the best day I've had in awhile (self image wise)!!!  LOVE IT!

Alright, about food...

Breakfast was an egg ham and cheese whole wheat english muffin sammie.  Then we went to church and I got busy around the house...I almost had a lunch fail because I started eating a salad for lunch at exactly 4 hours following my bfast.  {Game On rule: must eat each meal within 2 -4 hours from the prior meal}  But I got it in right under the nose...  The salad was pretty standard and I ate it while DJ finished picking the crabs so I could make crab cakes...YUM!!!  They were to die for!  (recipe from the back of the Old Bay can)

Hello Mr. Crab :)

Mason and I had to go to Giant for some odds and ends and they were giving the kids free purple cotton candy in honor of the Raven's Game...I LOVE living in this town!

 note: I need a new camera!

When Mason and I got home, I made a new recipe for Zucchini Lasagna...that would be dinner :)  I kind of made up the recipe and it turned out almost perfect.  Next time I need to make sure to salt the zucchini to let it dehydrate a little bit.  There are no after pictures because it came out a little runny...DELICIOUS but a little runny and the picture wouldn't have done the taste justice...Mmmmmm

As you can see I simply made lasagna and replaced the noodles with strips of zucchini.  SO GOOD!

Meal #3 was a fail because I forgot to bring my Triple C to the birthday party to eat on the way and meal #5 is just not going to happen because I'm STUFFED from the lasagna...sorry team!  This is the first time I've lost meal points :(  -12

While we were ice skating I tried to get a good picture of the boys but I had no success...here is all I got :(   fuzzy wuzzy, LOL!

Needless to say it was a good day and my exercise was well taken care of during my ice skating extravaganza!  Well that is all I have for this wonderful Sunday!
