Day 7 and Day 8! Soccer, the BIGGEST temptation day so far, and New Recipe! Hawaiian Turkey Burgers!

DAY 7 was a hard day! Filled with lots of challenges! But I think I did a pretty good job at overcoming. Went over to my parents house for lunch and they had CHICKEN ENCHILADAS. CHEESY chicken enchiladas. Are you kidding me?? I was going to die. Just watching everyone dish up their plate while I waited for my chicken to finish grilling for my salad.... It was so hard. But I kept telling myself-

 I can do it! It is worth it! It will pay off!! It is the little good decisions made that will turn into a great reward!!

Later on we had our soccer game. I do not play soccer. The only time I had ever played soccer before was on River's school soccer team on away games. #1 I didnt even go to the school #2 The only reason I got to play is because they were short players and I knew the coach. YUP. But I tried really hard! And it must have paid off because we won our game last night! WOO HOO!! It was a lot of fun and great exercise!

And then after the game came the most challenging part of the challenge so far. We met up with some friends for dinner and we went to the Green Mill. It was so hard picking something off of the menu that was a good choice over all of the other delicious things I kept seeing on the menu. I went with a salad. It actually was really good and I was feeling satisfied. UNTIL... our friend, who was sitting directly across from me, gets a HUGE piece of strawberry cheesecake placed right in front of him. PRETTY MUCH right in front of me. AAAAAWWWWWWWWWW. Torcher!!! Even though my mouth was watering like non stop, I resisted and stayed content with my salad :).

DAY 8- Today! We went to Perkins with my grandma for lunch. No chicken tender melt, no pancakes, or everything omelet for me. I went with the Spinach and Baby Bella Scramble. Which I thought was really tasty! And I was very polite to the waitress when she asked if we wanted any pie- "no thank you!"

Tonight we are making Hawaiian Turkey Burgers!!
Turkey Burgers topped with fresh pineapple and BBQ sauce! My friend Anna picked me up some Ken Davis 2 Carb, no high-fructose corn syrup, zero sugar, and low sodium BBQ sauce. YUUM!


I am excited for this meal! Any meal ideas that you have for me??

Thank you for reading!! 

P.S. I have been getting a lot of response about people wanting more info about the challenge/wanting to do it. I am thinking that we will be doing another group challenge again this fall. If you are interested/want more info on it- please let me know!

P.S. #2.... WHO PUT THIS IN MY FREEZER?!?!?!?
