Hungry, hungry....hippo

Just kidding but I'm certainly hungry today. The difference between yesterday and today and what I used to do. I'm counting every BLT (bites, licks and tastes). You know them, you tried them. Well I never really counted them...at all (well I'd count maybe one day a week). But I'm counting today. And I'm hungry.

I made some vegetable soup today. I usually make the regular:
carrots
celery
garlic
tomatoes
cabbage
zucchini
red pepper flakes

Today I had some produce that was on its last life so I used it instead:
carrots
celery
garlic
fennel !
The fennel created such a sweet smell that I decided to put cumin in the soup along with red pepper flakes (spicy)
tomatoes
broccoli

I blend it all together because for some reason I don't like chunks in my soup. And it was a nice different 0pt. vegetable soup.

And my menu for today, just so you know I am eating was:
oatmeal 2
milk 1
blueberries 0
coffee 3 (I know I gave it up and I'm letting it sneak back in, that sneaky fox!)

2 slices bread 2
tuna with onion and mustard 1
cheese 3
veggie soup 0

pear 1
almond butter 2 (I didn't realize 1 tbsp meant 1 and not the extra 2 I lick, lol)

egg 2
egg white 1
EVOO 2
spinach, mushroom, onion 0
salsa 0
ezekiel english muffin 2
BLT's 4

1 cup of melon 1

total 27pts (27 is range) AP's today is 4. So I could grab something else to eat, but I'll go get a glass of water first and decide in a bit.

Non-weight related question:
Ideas for home decorating websites. I like things but have nothing in my house. I'm cheap and things break easily here :) but I need to get a grown-up house with a style. Any good websites to check out is greatly appreciated!

What was up with today. I was starving all day! And coffee has made it's way back into my diet too :( eee need to get back on track.

Decorating... I'm not that into online shopping..yet. BUT i see that you live in Canada, and you must hit a Homesense/Winners. I got a lot of my favorite pictures/lamps/candles you name it, for amazing prices ;)

Just stumbled on your blog. So impressed with your weight loss. Congrats!

I'm a soup blender too. I like the creamy texture as opposed to a soaking soup with chunks in it. :)

Since having my DD, I have not kept up with my love of home decor so I wouldn't even know what direction to point you in.

You are doing great, Sarah! I couldn't help but let the coffee sneak back in, either!

Hmmm..other than HGTV, I don't know of any other sites for decorating:(
