New Update... Not so happy...

I am the worst blogger ever. I am so so so so so so sorry that I haven't been updating this on time. Recently, we've started having class from 8-5 (with a 1 hour break for lunch) on Wednesdays, so by the time I would get around to updating this, I'm just exhausted and usually forget about it.  However, Wednesdays are also Storm Chasers nights on TLC (I think? Discovery maybe?), and if you know anything about me, you know I'm a complete weather nerd, and so I need to stay up until at least 10 to watch that.

So, this is not such a happy entry, as the title says. Hopped on the scale tonight, and it says I've only lost 4 pounds total.  Now, this is a bit of a shock to me, because the past few days I've been down to like 193.8, or at the highest 196, so 198 was pretty shocking to see. I'm pretty sure it was because I had Chipotle tonight, and because I haven't had time to work out the past 2 days. But NO EXCUSES! I cannot keep "treating myself" to unhealthy food after I've had a tough/long day, or saying I don't have time to exercise (well today, I really haven't had time... I've had 5 free minutes all day, seriously). But I need to be stricter with myself, because really, you only get out of it what you put into it, and thats why  I need to up my effort.

However, I'm posting some recipes tonight mainly because A) I have lost this weight, and this is just post-yummyness weight that is in my stomach right now, and B) Because people are begging me for recipes.  So tonight, I'm gonna post this Turkey and Artichoke Stuffed Shells recipe that one of my favorite people in the world, Laura Roxberry Euler, shared with me (and she got it from Giada, so its gotta be good!).  Laura was the Honors College Advisor at College of Charleston, and she was such a great mentor to me during my time there.  She also has a blog in which she shares recipes and news about her adorable son Stafford, which you can find here: www.storybookreality.blogspot.com. So here's the link to the recipe, hope its ok if I share it with everyone, Laura! http://storybookreality.blogspot.com/2010/10/super-stuffed-shells.html

Sorry, too lazy to copy-paste everything, plus, it gets her views on her blog!

I promise, y'all, I am going to step up my effort and lose this weight! I don't want to let you guys down!

Weight tonight: 198.4
Total weight loss to date: 4.2 lbs (BUT IT HAS BEEN MORE AT TIMES!)
