just look up

Today was a weigh in day...now, I am still losing the weight I gained over the holidays...but I am still moving forward! I told you I gained 12 pounds and as of this morning I have lost 5 of those pounds bringing my weight to 145.8 pounds.

With that said, I saw this quote and knew it was a perfect fit for today's post. I need to look up...not behind at my mistakes, or the future. Looking up puts me in the proper perspective.

Breakfast
Made a mocha shake with about a teaspoon of instant coffee added to it.

Morning Snack
A couple hours later my stomach started to rumble and I made a chai latte. Totally hit the spot.

Lunch
I am out of my normal salad ingredients, so I made an omelet which included egg beaters, cottage cheese, light cheese, spinach, and kale. It looks ugly, but tasted amazing!

Afternoon Snack
Lunch kept me quite full but I was still feeling a bit munchy and had some brown sugar and cinnamon cereal crunch.

Dinner
For dinner I made a mock java chip frappuccino. Added some instant coffee to a chocolate chip cookie soft bake packet and blended it all together with water and crushed ice.

Dessert
Took dessert with me on the go today. I just cut up a cinnamon roll crunch bar and ate it during church.

So...I kept today's post short and sweet because I didn't want to overshadow the profound quote. Think about it today and just look up!

3 ingredient asparagus frittata

This is the easiest dish you will ever make. I promise. It only has three ingredients! All you do it is mix everything together and throw it in the oven. That's it! I have adapted this recipe from Lauren Conrad and Food52

Step One
Gather your ingredients. You will need:
1 1/2 cups of chopped asparagus or any vegetable you like
1 cup of egg beaters
1/2 cup of light mozzarella cheese
pepper to taste

Step Two
Saute the asparagus until soft.

Step Three
Add the cheese (set aside about 2-3 tablespoons), pepper or any other seasoning you like, and the asparagus. I would recommend chopping the asparagus into smaller, bite-size pieces. It was kind of hard to eat when they were long.

Step Four
Turn the oven on to 375 and bake for about 30 minutes. Check after 25 minutes and stick a knife down the center. When it is soft, but not runny, it is done!

Step Five
Take the frittata out of the oven and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.

Step Six
Put the frittata under the broiler for a few minutes to melt and brown the cheese. Keep a close eye! You don't want it to burn.

Step Seven
Enjoy! I would eat it as soon as it comes out. No one likes cold eggs.
