Weight check-in + acne status

I weighed in at 151.8 - i'm trying not to get excited yet because it is still within the 5 lb range of my starting weight but it is certainly setting a trend.  And it has been only 2 weeks since I started the water.  

BTW, not so good on the acne front.  Last couple of days i've been breaking out - nothing cystic, thank goodness!  but i am noticing many small spots on my cheeks.  I was also sick this past week with sinus infection and the fever that goes along.  I'm not sure if that is relevant but thought I'd mention it.  I will also say that i've been skipping a little on the green drinks and the last couple of days I had some soda.  Most likely this is the cause of the break out.  

Anyway, working on getting back on track.  And i made another yummy a couple of days ago.  It was basically garlic bread but with zucchini instead of bread.  

Roasted zucchini with garlic:

2 medium zucchini
2 tsp olive oil
2 cloves of garlic
1 tsp parsley flakes
salt and pepper to taste
sprinkling of cheese (any kind you like)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Quarter zucchini lengthwise and arrange on a baking dish skin side down.  Mix oil, garlic, parsley, salt and pepper and brush on the zucchini.  bake until almost fork tender (approx 15-20 mins).  Remove from the oven and sprinkle on the cheese.  Place back in the oven until the cheese is melted (I liked mine when the cheese had crisped up a little).  Remove from the oven and let rest for at least 5 minutes before serving.

Note: I used jack cheese which was okay.  Next time I will use Parmesano Reggiano because it will probably become slightly crusty.
