I did great during the day but I left dinner open for some Papa Johns pizza and a mini butter-finger, 1 1/2 mini boxes of nerds, regular Pepsi, you get the point sugar in every form. It was only 1/2 worth it. I satisfied a sweet tooth for a month. Basically crashed and fell into a carb coma. It was pretty powerful too. I just felt sick. It was 1/2 worth it to get that reminder that I just can not do that anymore, my body was saying "Idiot, there's a limit"
The other 1/2 was a mental satisfaction I guess, that I broke the rules, I colored outside the lines.
A rebel.
I did go to the gym for my "goal workout" (that's what I'm calling it from now because anything less is not doing my best) in the morning so I neither gained nor lost weight for today. It was a tie :)
The (I will TRY to make it my) usual goal workout = treadmill = jog/run/walk until I hit 1,000 calories. I want to build up so I'm shaving off my time which is 90 minutes right now because I mostly walk. < I want to do that 3 x a week and 2 circuits 3 x a week with Sunday off. If I go out of town I plan to just skip it and not worry about it. Maybe go for a walk with the kids on a country dirt road or hit up my awesome sister in law for some yoga ;)
So I have been doing the above for 1 full week and staying on my clean eating plan (Except for the pancreas destroying marathon) and have lost 4 pounds. With a grand total lost from July of 17 lbs. (includes all the start/stops and up and downs). Its a slow process but its a lifelong commitment. At least its going down not up or staying :)
This weekend we are going out of town. I am the WORST at eating good while not in the safety of my house. This is where EVERY single eating plan goes to crap. I need to develop an attack plan.
#1 is to drink only water. I LOVE Diet Mt Dew, always have. BUT its my downfall. Its so sweet tasting that I think I must have something salty to go with it. I cant trust myself with it.
With a tear I post this....
That is so hard to look at.
But its gets better after you read what this particular picture was in reference too...
eww, eww, eww, eww, eww
#2 Pack some homemade protein bars. Ive made some before and they were soooo nasty. I somehow made them super salty. lol. Oh well, trying again with a different recipe.
#3 Eat meat and veggies, skip the bad carbs
#4 Pray my mother in law doesn't cook something amazing. I'm doomed, she always makes something amazing.
That's all I got. It's a start at least.
Now for the fun stuff.............my little cuties on Halloween....
A "batterina"
A pirate skeleton power ranger
Olivia wanted NO part in dressing up so I give you her dislike of pumpkin guts....
I would have trick or treat pictures but they decided to do a scavenger hunt for candy at home. Brian and I hid two bags of candy around the house and they loved it. I actually only mentioned to them that, that's what my parents did for us growing up and Ethan thought it was a great idea. Up until last night I was fully prepared for a change of heart to go trick or treating. I'm sure we'll go next year but it was fun this year too :)
Except for Olivia. She hates it. She cried every time a remotely scary mask came to the door for candy.
Today I'm getting a money savings, clean eating, gonna conquer the world list going. But Im going to have another cup of coffee first. I tried this whole week to go with out caffeine. Not fun!
