The muffin band wagon...and Weigh in!

So I have been seeing everyone post about these delicious looking egg muffins for the past year or so but I have always been too nervous to try them. Mainly because they are one of those make ahead recipes and I have never re heated cooked eggs before. So of course I fear change and never tried them. Well today I bit the bullet and made some and I'm happy to say they were amazing!

How I did it:

8 eggs

lots of chopped veggies (I just used what I had red pepper, sunburst tomatoes and fresh green beans)

Jimmy Dean's pre cooked crumbled turkey sausage (chopped ham or even chicken would be super yummy too)

1/3 cup shredded cheese

 

I sprayed my muffin tin and then put a little bit of the shredded cheese in each one. I then beat all the eggs and added the veggies and meat in.

I used a ladle poured the mixture into the muffin tin and it overfilled 10 cups (see picture below).

I popped them into a 350 degree oven and baked for about 20 minutes.

 

Haha they are beautiful right??? Nope...but they were delish! And they are only 81 calories each according to MFP (I don't count the veggie calories).

Another yummy muffin recipe I'm going to try is this one from Emily Bites. It looks so yummy I love bananas and chocolate so you can't lose with this one!

FINALLY, I weighed in this morning. I was so freakin nervous to but I bit the bullet and did it. I cheated a few times this past week or forgot to record calories some days. But the past few days I have been doing well again. Anyways I lost 1.1 lbs putting my total weight loss to 33 lbs since having baby Jack! Since Jack got his shots this week I will start taking him to the day care 3 days a week for about an hour and a half so I can run. It will be good for him and Hunter will love playing with his friends again. Plus this mommy needs some major me time!

Now for some cuteness!

Baby Weight Loss Update

It's Friday which means nothing for me because I'm a Mom! But I am linking up with Darci from The Good Life Blog for Five on Friday yee freakin haw!

 

I'm going to do all five about my new healthy adventure!

1. Numbers

As of Tuesday the 17th I had lost 5 lbs in a WEEK. Heck yeah! My real life friend Cait and I started texting pictures to each other of EVERYTHING we eat to stay accountable. Both of us are doing awesome she's lost about 6 lbs. We are just counting calories. Since I'm exclusively breast feeding I give myself 1700-1800 calories a day. I feel like I'm eating alot but I do not want my supply to tank.

 

2. Food

I have been realllllyyy trying to make healthy and mostly cleaner food choices lately. I am getting used to it. Top left is a salad with feta, apples, snap peas and grape tomatoes with Balsalmic vinegar. Next is a chocolate shakeology protein shake (my go to lunch) bottom left is a green bean, chicken, tomato egg and egg white omelet on a whole wheat wrap and then its a turkey and egg omelet on a whole wheat wrap (both of those are dinners).

3. Working Out

First of all I got an awesome workout program T-25. Its only 25 minutes...easy to find the time right? Well not for me! I've been struggling with doing it every day. But I make sure to get it in every other and do walks with the munchkins on the days I don't. It's really hard to find any time as a new Mom! :/ I know weight loss is 90% what you eat so I'm really focusing on that right now.

4. Temptation

I love sweets. Hunter and I "made" these sugar cookies today and I ate two of them. Luckily they were only 60 cals a pop...I didn't want to look at the amount of sugar though...womp womp womp! FAIL.

5. Cuteness: Bath time edition!

Ok I know I said this would be all about weight loss but I can't help but put pictures up of my boys!

 

 

Have a wonderful weekend y'all! :)
