Jalapeno mustard is good on fried eggs. That's all.

- Two eggs with lettuce, mayo & mustard
- Two cinnamon flax muffins with butter, coconut oil and Walden's sugar free maple syrup
- Two eggs with mayo, mustard and iceberg lettuce

Aldi has jalapeno mustard, which is awesome!  It's a seasonal buy and downright awesome.  I'm in love!!!!

Still egg-fasting

We're going a little more lax with the eating while at my cousin's wedding, but we are still staying on plan as far as eating low carb goes.  This means that instead of eggs, we might eat a bunless burger or a couple sausage patties in lieu of some eggs for a meal or two.

- Two eggs with jalapeno mustard and mayo and lettuce
- Same thing as above, for lunch
- Cinnamon flax muffin with plenty of coconut oil (love it when it gets a little soft and squishy in the warmer weather... omg so yummy, almost like a super healthy frosting like consistency)

The gf has never lost so much weight -- so quickly, that is.  She is not as focused on the number as the result, but her shrinking waistline speaks for itself.  She has always been gorgeous, but she is getting to her naturally healthy weight and more importantly, a healthier version of herself.

We look at eating mostly eggs as a way to fast-track the low carb process.  Instead of taking back roads to weight loss, it's like taking the expressway. Why not, right?  It's easier on the wallet as well.

It was the gf's idea to "egg fast."  She is going under the knife on July 16th (tonsillectomy), so she wants to be as healthy as possible before anesthesia.

We caught another feral kitty!  The other one is spayed and we're keeping her for five to seven days until she can be released.  Turns out the place is not open 'til Monday, so we can take her in then to be fixed.  We caught another female in the live trap, which is good.  Two females in as many days!

We're going to Mom's house on Sunday to celebrate Mother's Day.  We got her an orchid, a Mother Theresa canvas and guardian angel necklace.  I know she will be tickled.

The gf got me some new clothes for Mother's Day too because she says fur babies do count and I'm a good mommy.  So yay!

My go-to muffin recipe and Tuesday's eats and our feral kitty

- Two fried eggs with lettuce, mayo and mustard
- Two cinnamon flax muffins with lots of butter
- Two eggs with lettuce, mayo & mustard

Here if the flax muffin recipe that I love to use.  I also add in 15 drops of ez sweetz (liquid splenda) and two extra eggs (and a little more cinnamon).  It makes the same amount of muffins, but it makes them a little fluffier and more substantial.

We captured the feral kitty!  Today's agenda is to have it spayed/neutered.  We are doing a TNR on it (which just means trap, neuter, release).  Feral cats live in colonies where they survive in the wild, kind of as a pack... but we want it to at least not have babies having babies if you know what I mean.  If you do a TNR on a cat, you have to be sure to drop it off to the same place or they won't know how to survive in a new location.

It's not an egg fast... It's our Egg Fest!

We are starting eggfest today!  The gf is having a tonsillectomy (in about ten weeks) and she wants to optimize her health before going under the knife. I'm so proud of her!

Today is our first day of "Egg Fest" and we are pumped!  There will be scrambled eggs, fried eggs, egg salad, deviled eggs, oopsies, maybe some cream cheese pancakes and lots of fun and weight loss to be had.

We will be eating eggs for every meal with a little lettuce, some flax muffins, butter, heavy whipping cream & cream cheese on our "acceptable" list.

- Two eggs with lettuce, mayo & mustard
- A deviled egg with extra mayo
- Two cinnamon flax muffins with lots of butter
