Subway Breakfast Review and Giftcard Giveaway!

Operation Luv Pounds has made me realize just how quickly I started reverting to old habits that lead to my original weight gain. One of those bad habits was skipping breakfast. Since I am so not a morning person, it is extremely important that breakfast be light, quick, easy, and convenient. So, I am happy that I finally popped into Subway to try their breakfast options.

When you step into Subway for breakfast, you get to chose from 5 breakfast sandwiches on your choice of egg muffin, flat bread, or Subway's normal sandwich breads. Then you pick either whole eggs or egg whites, plus your choice of veggies. With so many choices, it's hard to imagine getting bored!

I chose the Black Forest Ham Egg Muffin Melt with egg whites and asked the sandwich artist to make it Western-style (with green peppers and onions). I loved it and at just over 180 calories, it was definitely Operation Luv Pounds friendly.


Right now Subway has a special where you get your choice of Egg Muffin Melt plus a 16oz cup of Seattle's Best coffee for $2.50. Two lucky readers will each receive a $5 gift card to try Subway's breakfast for themselves. Here's how to enter:

#OperationLuvPounds Update

I stepped on the scale this morning and discovered that I'm down 3 pounds. Woohoo!!!

I have to admit that I haven't done a darn thing to deserve it seeing as how I exercised a whopping one time during the past two weeks. I was sick, so I guess not having much of an appetite for a week and a half can do a lot for a girl's figure.

I did finally register for the Miracle Miles 15k. I could have signed up for the 5k, but I figure getting my butt kicked may be just the thing I need to get my butt in gear. My only goal for this race is to finish, so keep your fingers crossed for me

Have a fabulous Friday!

This Means War! #OperationLuvPounds

Last year I set out to lose 30 pounds before my 30th birthday and I reached that goal with my May 1st weigh in. Shortly after that I met Hunny Luv and between trying to spend as much time with him and the kids as I can and the regular demands of life, exercise has slowly fallen to the wayside.

The scale shows that I have gained 5 pounds since then. Five pounds that I worked really hard to lose and never intended to find again. Clearly, I need to work on making myself a priority again.


But today, is the day that I start turning it all around. Because I am declaring war on those Luv Pounds! In fact, I am going to lose those 5 pounds plus another 15 before the holidays.

My Plan of Action:
✿ 30 minutes of exercise 4 days per week
✿ Continue to follow the 80/20 rule with eating
✿ Run the Miracle Miles 15k (ok, run/walk it)
✿ Post an update/status blog each Wednesday

Today I'm going to get my first workout in and put together a workout schedule.
