I just put in my packet to find out when I can take the RE exam. I have an appointment this Thursday to get my fingerprints. I'm hoping to take my exam next week. I find out if I have passed right after the test is complete. Then I need to go in and talk to a few possible companies to see where I think would be a good fit. After that I need to go and explore 75-100 apartment communities to get a good feel of what they offer. Then I can get started WORKIN!!! I'm so excited, SCARED and feeling blessed all at once!
As far as my weight loss, I've been consistent on Atkins. I've lost inches! I've lost the 8 lbs I gained back but I've been stuck at 250 lbs and can't seem to get a hang of Atkins to get my weight loss lower. I got the 100 oz water down, the vitamins daily, not over carbing but...I think I'm not eating enough daily which SUCKS! I think I need to start writing everything down that I eat to keep to the 20 net carbs and make sure I'm getting enough vegetables and calories. Even with not losing, I feel better eating this way. I'll know more after a couple more months but I even feel my PMS/PMDD symptoms are less and that is way exciting!
My favorite Atkins food so far is something called a MIM. It's a muffin in a minute. It's filling and great in the mornings since I hate trying to come up with something in the mornings.
Take a mug (I love cooking items for one that super duper fast!)and add 1/4 c of ground flaxseed, 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp Splenda, 1 tsp of Cinnamon (I switch between that and Allspice). Mix dry ingredients well. Add one egg and a couple T of butter and mix really well in the mug. Microwave for one minute.
The best part is...to add a yummy topping...
Microwave for 10-15 seconds, 1 tsp splenda and 2 oz of cream cheese and mix real well and slather over the muffin. I eat my muffin with this topping every now and then.
This is what my MIM looks like---
Congratulations on passing your classes! Thats Awesome :)
ReplyDeleteThat looks and sounds soo yummy! Thanks for the recipe!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on passing your classes! I'm such a poor student that I'm really impressed by those who do well!
Thanks you guys! That's funny you said that about being impressed. I just got back on the internet because I'm avoiding studying. I'm a lil overwhelmed at studying for the big exam. I have a ton of flashcards and will probably need to make more. However, I think my key is I need to find someone to study with. I hope I can find someone!
