Pineapple Guacamole and the day's recap

Pineapple Guacamole
2 Large avocados or 3 small ones
1 regular size (16oz?) can crushed pineapple in its own juice
1 tsp chilli powder
2 tsp cinamon (or a little more if you love cinnamon)
juice from half a lime

Cut your avocado in half and use a spoon to pop out the pit.  **Helpful hint, a ripe avocado should give a little when you press on it but not be mushy.  Press your finger to your forehead (don't you feel silly), this is about how it should feel if it's ripe but not overripe.**  Now use the spoon to scoop your avocado away from the rind (this should be fairly easy).  Once all your avocados are pitted in a bowl use a potato masher to mash them up.  Drain your can of pineapple and add it, the juice from your lime, and your spices to the bowl.  Mix well and put on everything!

So the day is over and I did well today! I always feel so much better about myself when I don't overeat, it makes me wonder why I overeat in the first place!  But I digress... food is just so tempting sometimes!

Breakfast at 130ish (I worked last night): 2 eggs with my amazing pineapple guacamole and pico

Then awesome WOD today by my friend Laykyn who has lost 170lbs!!! Wowzas, go girl!
Lunch 530: Tropical Smoothies Health Nut with whey protein and no sugar.

Dinner 800: Cooked cocktail shrimp with pico and diced strawberries topped with a little more pineapple guacamole.

Snack at the movies: beef jerky I snuck in

I didn't eat often enough today by any means but I didn't eat bad so I was pleased.

Ken (that's the boyfriend) and I went to see Men in Black 3 tonight with some friends from the gym.  It was much fun.  I love to laugh, and it was the kind of laughter that makes you throw your head back and comes all the way from the pit of your stomach.  Good times.

Now dishes to top off the night and I promise to post some pictures and recipes that I make tomorrow.  Yes, I said dishes (I'm a night shifter and the night is young)!
