Chocolate-stuffed french toast

INGREDIENTS:

• 4 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
• 3 ounces neufchatel cheese, room temperature (or light philadelphia)
• 2 cups sliced strawberries
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 1 tsp grated orange zest
• 6 oz whole-wheat bread
• 2 large eggs
• 2 large egg whites
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp trans-free margarine

DIRECTIONS:

• combine the chocolate and cheese in a small bowl, mix well.  Combine strawberries, sugar, and orange zest in a separate bowl.
• spread 1/4 of chocolate mixture on 4 slices of bread.  Top each with a second slice and press lightly to form a sandwich.
• combine the whole eggs, egg whites, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl.  Working one a time, dip both sides of each sandwich in mixture and set on a plate.
• melt margarine in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.  Wait for the foam to subside, then add the sandwiches and cook until golden and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side.  Serve hot, topped with strawberry mixture.

Finally getting back on track! Now the key is to NOT mess this up today. I’ve been getting up early the past few days and my body needed a rest so I let myself sleep in. Tonight after work if my friend doesn’t call me to hang out I’ll probably go to the gym. But I want to be in the 137 pound range by tomorrow. I only have 2 days left. I can do this! Really need to detox. No sweets and/or sugary drinks, exercising, and minimal intake of carbs, salt, and dairy. 

THIS is what I’ll be eating (hopefully) when I see my gf, lol.

And actually wound up staying an extra half hour power walking on the treadmill. I didn’t sweat at all during that ab, back, core workout. I mean I felt it but I needed some cardio. You know? So I stayed a little later. 

After I came home and showered I went to Whole Foods and got some steamed veggies and their Golden Sesame Tofu. I logged on to myfitnesspal.com and the Sesame Tofu was like 500 calories! I was shocked. Thank God I opted for those steamed veggies as a side instead of like idk rice or something. 

Only for a half an hour though for an abs, back, core workout. Thought I’d squeeze in a class before work. Especially since last night after eating healthy all day I ate a handful of M&Ms and half an Auntie Anne’s pretzel at the mall b/c it was free. D:
