Wrestlemania Food and Blogs - I Almost Forgot!

So I told you all last week that we would be watching Wrestlemania this past weekend.  Well, it was quite entertaining and certainly a good time with good friends!  There were a lot of great matches and great drama on the TV, and lots of great food being made here!

I meant to post this on Monday, after Wrestlemania, but I forgot. Heidi has her own blog, called Chubby Bunny Shrinks her Tail, and she wrote a blog about all of the awesome food we had during our "Wrestlemania Party". You can check out Heidi's Blog here and the specific blog post for Wrestlemania is here.  She detailed our three course snacking in great detail, with good pictures of each dish, and it was all delicious!  I told her I was going to share it on my blog so that we weren't duplicating efforts! :) 

Something else I'd love to share with all of you is Kristi's website, and blog, that is about a variety of topics, from comics, to movies, to TV, and now most recently to wrestling.  Kristi's website, Pop Culture Sushi, is a great venue for all you need to know about geeky, and sometimes not-so-geeky culture.  After Wrestlemania, Kristi expanded her blog to include wrestling and wrote a pretty amusing blog about it! 

Kristi's best friend, Erin, is a die hard wrestling fan, and was actually at Wrestlemania this year with her brother! She has a great blog all about wrestling, called Ring Ramblings, and I'm sure she will be writing all about her Wrestlemania experience once she is home. Check it out for some actual wrestling knowledge and opinions written by a great girl! 

Ok, I think that's enough promoting my friends' blogs for now, but seriously, they're all awesome and you should check them out!

Dedicated to Heidi, for being awesome!

I wanted to share with all of you what I was surprised with this morning on my way out the door to the Weight Watchers meeting.  Kristi, my fiancee, and I live with our friend Heidi in her house. Heidi is also one of my bridesmaids. As I said in a previous post, Heidi is also doing Weight Watchers, and is very supportive and a great inspiration for me, especially with her fancy cooking ideas sometimes! This morning she surprised me by leaving a great big inspirational message on a wall of her kitchen that she made into a chalk board.  This psyched me up for the meeting and certainly started my day off well.  She knew my goal today was to hit 10 pounds and while I didn't do it, seeing this really made my day! I wanted to share with everyone, and to say THANK YOU HEIDI for your friendship and your support! I should mention that she also put a piece of Press n' Seal on the glass slider door to the porch that said "Good Luck Sarah". So awesome. :) Below is a picture of the chalkboard surprise from this morning, sorry for the "inside jokes" but you get the idea! Pretty awesome huh?

I couldn't help but share it with you all! :) So as you saw in my last post, I had sort of a rough morning, which could easily start my downward spiral for the week. Instead of allowing that, I took a little nap to reset myself, and spent some nice quiet time with Kristi.  Once we were hungry, I went and made us a delicious healthy lunch.  Very simple: A sandwich (turkey deli meat, cheese, light mayo and lettuce), fresh fruit (apple and pear) and veggies (cucumber and carrots), light ranch dip, and a sweet ending with a 2pt chocolate cupcake (made with club soda) that had sugar free banana pudding in the center, made by Heidi.  See below for a picture of our yummy lunch!

Not sure what the rest of the day will hold, but I'm feel much better than I was earlier. A loss is a loss and 1.6lbs is nothing to be ashamed of!
