Weigh in #1 in June & Weekend Eats

Last week was a little bit of a struggle trying to keep my calories where they need to be. I was making more healthy, nutritious choices but I ended up over my calorie limit more than not and I was wondering what the scale would say on Sunday.

I also only exercised 2 days last week instead of my goal of 3. I’m only still struggling with the guilt of not getting that 3rd workout in but I did manage to walk for 15 minutes after lunch each day. On Saturday I also played outside with Elliana, running trough the sprinklers and her splash pad. So much Fun! She keeps me feeling young for sure.

Also, we had some unexpected, cute baby visitors on Saturday.

 



I found 2 baby mice on out deck. I was freaking out because I have a severe mouse phobia but I couldn’t just let them die out there and I looked around for a nest and couldn’t find out. It was also over 100 degrees on out enclosed deck so I had to put on my big girl panties, my husband’s leather work glove and rescue these 2. Thankfully we found a local woman to take these little guys. She raises them, weans them, rehabilitates them, and releases them. Which is amazing!

Anywho on to my eats:

 

Friday

I’m starting with Friday’s dinner because I really wanted Taco Bell.  Patting myself on the back for this healthy redirect. Go me!

Friday’s Dinner: Chicken Kabob salad with a pita bread and I measured 2 tbs of the dressing and tzatziki sauce.


 

Saturday

Breakfast: Avocado toast with 2 eggs and coffee in my favorite mug



 

Lunch: Veggie burger with baked fries, ketchup and cucumber and tomato salad with 1 tbs of ranch

 


Snack: Apple with 1 tbs peanut butter and cinnamon sprinkled on top

 


Dinner: Left over cheesy hamburger casserole and a cup of broccoli. Freezer meal to the rescue!

 


After dinner snack: Kiwi and string cheese.



Total Calories:1,831

Exercise: Zilch. My sister-in-law came over to see the baby mice and stayed for a visit. By the time she left it was close to 10 pm and I was ready to crawl into bed.

 

Saturday

Breakfast: 2 eggs, 2 veggie breakfast patties, half a mini avocado, some cherry tomatoes and slice of toast.



 

Lunch: Chipotle burrito bowl, chicken, half brown rice, black beans, cheese, veggies, salsa and a side of guac

 


Dinner: Hubby made us some quesadillas for a quick dinner. I added salsa, sour cream and a whole guacamole

 


After dinner snack: Chocolate putting and half a cup of strawberries



Total Calories: 2,329

Exercise: 0 (boooo!)

 


Starting weight: 215
Current weight: 212.9 (-2.1)
Total weight loss: -2.1 lbs.

Wow! I was praying for a loss, any loss. I was totally not expecting an over 2 lbs loss. This is awesome. My goal was to loose 3.5 for the entire month of June so I am almost there with 3 weeks to go. Woo hoo!

 Ok, here’s your Monday Motivation:

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

 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...
