Weigh in #2 and Weekend Eats!

 Weigh in #2 & Weekend Eats Another week down in June. I did really good food wise and could not wait to step on the scale on Sunday morning. I managed to eat within my calories every day. I went into the weekend smug. I was ready to kick butt during my Saturday work out and do my healthy meal prep on Sunday. I was so ready! Then on Saturday I woke up with a sore throat and a runny nose. By the end of the day I was really bad off. Body aches, cold sweats, coughing, sneezing, headache, and all around feeling miserable. At least Saturday morning we got some fun time with Elliana before I was down for the count. I was pretty bummed that I was sick. I definitely couldn’t workout and had no energy to meal prep. I felt defeated and ended up eating a lot of bad food on Saturday for dinner. Stress and anxiety always make me turn to food and that’s what I did. I was pretty disappointed in myself. But you know what? The next day even though I was still feeling like poop I ate healt...

Do the Humpty Hump - Day 3 Week 1

Ok, so day 1 & 2 were colossal failures. I overate and I binged on the first 2 days. I went to bed on day 2 feeling particularly down and to the point of giving up on trying to lose weight. I also thought about giving up on this blog. Did I really want to have to record my failures, my embarrassing binges? Did I want to weekly take pictures of myself and see no change or maybe even be bigger than the week before? I felt defeated. Then a miracle happened. I don’t know how and I don’t know why but I woke up on day 3 happy, optimistic and determined. It was quite a change from Monday and Tuesday. I can’t really say what I attribute it too but I’m glad that it happened. It could be that I was getting over the 3 day hump. They say the first 3 days are the hardest and I had proved that with my eating the past 2 days. I awoke on Wednesday tired and sleepy. I hadn’t gotten to sleep until 3:30 AM and even though I could barely keep my eyes open, I packed my softball gear in my gym bag for t...

Weigh in #4 & Weekend Eats

Image
 I am so glad I was able to get myself together after a week and a half of slacking off and blaming my cold and time of the month. By Wednesday I had gotten back up, dusted myself off and started moving forward again. My sleep had gotten so much better which allowed me to focus on my goals and have the energy physically and mentally to eat healthy and workout. I actually ended up working out for at least 30 minutes on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday & Saturday. Technically on Sunday we took Ellie to her swim lessons again, so I was in the pool moving for about 30 minutes while lugging an almost 30-pound toddler around. I’d say that’s a workout but I wasn’t wearing my fit bit so I couldn’t track the calories burned (if you can’t track it, it doesn’t count right? No, just me…well, ok.) Elli actually had fun this time. It was only her second lesson, and she was smiling and clapping, giving the teacher high fives and laughing instead of crying and clinging to me while whispering no a...
