Cheesy BK Quesadilla & a 31 cent special tonight!

Happy Hump Day all!! Wasn't The Biggest Loser awesome last night?! I have two favorite parts ~ the train the trainers had me totally LMAO and then, I absolutely loved how they showed the contestants the way they were doing the first workouts to now. It totally shows you that even when you start doing push-ups and feel like you can't, if you keep at it, you will get there. I LOVE the twist they threw in next week where America gets to pick who goes to the finale!
Love that show!

Ok, onto breakfast. I have decided today that every breakfast should seriously start with an amazing cheesy, spicy quesadilla like this.

3 Tbsp lowfat monterey jack cheese
1 fabulous handmade chile lime corn tortilla
a sprinkle of crush red pepper flakes

On the side I had an Egg/Egg White Scramble

1 egg
2 egg whites
sea salt
freshly ground red pepper
a few dashes of spicy Tapatio ( my favorite hot sauce!)

To the eggs, I was supposed to add 1/3 cup of salsa but this morning I wasn't feeling the salsa. I brought it to work with me and I still had not changed my mind...so I guess I saved myself about 10 calories LOL.

I also had 1 cup of the super sweet Watermelon & Cantaloupe that The Husband cut up for us. I LOVE melons and could totally sustain on them, I think :D

All together with the TJ's Garlic Chipotle Salsa that I didn't use, 1/2 calf coffee and my fun new Nathan LOVE bottle :)

I am super excited to report an awesome recap for yesterday:

15,093 steps taken - yahoo!
1,460+ calories consumed - this was my total before my BLT's hmmmmm....

  1. You're doing such a great job sticking to your plan, Danica! Keep it up the great work and the even greater attitude :)

    Oh - and I have weird reasons for not posting: I accidentally commented on my sister's blog logged in as my food blog's name. I am really kind of shy about the fact I was keeping it so I didn't want her to see it, so I am lying low for a little while. I know - so dorky. Plus, it's exams, so I'm just trying to get through those :)

  2. Jane ~ Thanks for the compliment! I really think it all has to start with the right attitude - you have to believe it to make it happen, right? You are too cute! You should be proud of your blog - it's awesome. But, I do know what you mean - I haven't exactly shared mine with all my family and friends yet. Good luck with the exams.

  3. You are right, every morning should start with a quesedilla!! 3000 calories is amazing for one day to burn!! Do you wear a HRM all day to track that? Great job!
