Happy fourth of July

Thursday: Happy 4th of July!  Today we got up to watch the semi-finals of Wimbledon.  Not quite as exciting this year, all no names left, all the greats have been eliminated.  Andrea is making Brown Butter Salted Caramel Mocha Cookies and Pretzel Bread to take to the 4th of July party later today. I picked out the cookies and she picked out the bread.  You see I am the sweet lover she loves bread and pasta.  That's probably why I'm the one with the weight problem.  Oh I weighed in yesterday I lost 2 pounds, but it took me a month. Ugh, why is this so hard to do?  So that's 3 pounds in 2 months.  Hopefully I get a few more off in this month.

Breakfast:Peanut Butter and Smooth Caramel Crisp 140cals.
Snack: Quaker Oak bar 90 cals.
Lunch: Dannon Greek Coconut yogurt 80 cals (yum I love coconut)
Dinner:Shrimp on the grill, potato salad, coleslaw, fruit, baked Lima beans , rolls, 1 Corona Light beer
Desert: the Mocha cookies above and Dolce de lache ice cream from Farm Stores.
Farm Stores has the best ice cream
I ate light because I knew I would be a bit wild on the 4th.  I tried not to over do it, so the 3 lbs I've  lost wouldn't be lost in vain.
By the way the cookies were fabulous, the batter is a little weird so don't get freaked out if you try them.  We've done the pretzel bread before and really like it.
