we're still here

On our way to 2013, I try to explain to people that I still can't believe how much faster time goes by once you have a child. It's way faster than I could ever had expected!

The holidays were good, we got pretty much EVERYTHING except a vacuum but we got some awesome gift cards that will be used to purchase that. We are putting together our 2013 goals, not resolutions (because I feel those are easy to give up on, but goals! What are you hopes/goals for next year? Do you do a resolution ever year?

Now that the holidays are (ALMOST) over I'm going focus on getting back on track with my weight loss. For those of you who don't know I have lost 85 pounds so far since my son was born in September of 2011. I have about 50 more pounds I would like to lose, so I hope I reach that goal this year! Luckily I have some of my favorite protein in stock (ItWorks Chocolate Pro-Fit).

I have had such an amazing years and am loving seeing my page views grow, thank you to each and every one of you who does take your time to read any post by me. If you have a blog I would love to read it too!

Avocado Egg Salad

So I don't like eggs unless they are deviled or in egg salad. Two unhealthy things. I try to eat hard boiled eggs because I know they are good for you but I just can't get into them. Recently I came across a recipe for Avocado Egg Salad on pinterest and I knew I had to try it, I love avocados and it is a way to make egg salad healthier. My one problem with most recipes I found through other blogs is they included Mayo (which is one of the grossest things that you can eat in my opinion) and lots and lots of salt.

So I took multiple recipes from different sites and adapted it to make it my own:

• 4 whole Hard Boiled Eggs
• 1 whole Avocado, cubed for easier smashing 
• 1-2 tablespoons PLAIN Greek yogurt
• Red Pepper to Taste
• Chopped Green onions to taste 

Boil the eggs first then mix in all the other ingredients, if you would like it creamier you can blend in a food processor. This recipe goes good on bread, in a wrap or simple over a bed of lettuce. However you prefer it!
  
Here is a picture of my recipe

Some people add radishes/spinach/onions to their recipe you can really make this your own! If you have your own variation I would love to hear about it! You can also use either fresh lime/lemon or vinegar to help the avocados not brown.
