Fry-less Friday 1:5

Its Friday Y'all!!!!! 

I've made it through the work week and didn't try to eat any of my co-workers and patients!
I'm giving myself an adult sticker for that!

Today was probably the hardest day for me this week (so far).
I can't tell if its due to a lack of sleep (I never sleep), the total change in diet, or hormonal... maybe all three.
Either way, all day long I've felt off.

But I didn't cave. I stuck to my diet.
I stuck to my meal plans/preps.

When I came home from work, I was craving something sweet.
After all, it's the end of the day, its Friday, and do I need any other excuses to eat a cookie?
No! 
But I didn't!!

Instead I cut up an orange and chugged water.
I still want those cookies, but I can manage now without them for today.

Today my dad also came home from the hospital.
He was there since Tuesday when he fell and fractured his humorous.

I already started to prep for breakfast tomorrow (and a few other days) by cutting up some vegetables.
I have no choice but to commit to it for the next few days!

But tonight I plan on catching up on some crocheting, while watching YouTube Videos curled up in bed.
Hope everyone has a great Friday Night!

Weight Loss Crafts 2:5

I made it to Friday ! And better yet, I survived to tell the tale. It's just been a busy and eventful week that I cannot wait to spend it at the beach all weekend. I figured I'd go there Saturday after I hit the gym, and then on Sunday too. I love taking myself to the beach. I go, do my thing, take naps, read, watch the waves... Its life!   Lets just see if the weather holds up. So my work jeans are pretty big on me. Even with a belt, they just don't sit right. But I'm not quite yet ready to go down a size. Instead, I made my pants adjustable! I cut 2 holes on the inside of the waistband and put elastic in there. I secured one end, and left the other end "free". I sewed on a button that way I can adjust the elastic to make them tighter so they can fit better! I won't lie, I'm pretty excited for this!  Here's what I ate:   Breakfast-  1/2 cup of oatmeal  1/2 banana 1/2 of egg whites  1 tbsp of salsa  iced coffee with 2 tbs...

4:1 Back on Board the Wagon!

So I missed a whole week. Life happened. And to me, that's okay. Because this isn't a race, this is a journey . And sometimes along our journey's we take rests/pit stops. Last week was my pit stop. But I'm back on the wagon in full swing! It's never about how many times you fall off. It's always about how many times you get back on! I may have gained 5 lbs since my last weigh in. But I'm okay about it. I'm not saying that I'm going to sit there and accept defeat. But I'm okay with this set back. I'm okay that I know that I'm going to have to push harder. I'm okay with that. In fact, I've decided to take full swing back in control with a lot of things. I need to manage my time better. Something that I struggle with. But I plan on getting back to sticking to my planner. And I even bought myself a workout/diet planner! This way I can keep track of my food and exercises. It's small enough to fit in my purse. My ac...

4:2 Delayed Pictures and Measurements as Promised

Image
OH MY GLUTES!!! I know that I stretched last night, but my goodness am I sore! It's been a crazy busy day in my office. I've taken on the task of checking all of our patient's eligibility before they have their appointment in our Garden City location. Which is a bit much for me. I know how to check eligibility, but not like this. It's causing me to multitask like an office ninja! But I've been working really hard on it, and I think I'm doing a decent job! I'm almost done with the whole month of August. And then I have to wait till September 1st to do September. But I'll get there. I've already started working on a Christmas gift today. I figured I'll start now just so I'm not pressed come the holiday season. So once I finish this blog post I'll get a few more stitches in before bed. Here's what I ate:   Breakfast-  1/2 cup of oatmeal  1/2 banana 1/2 of egg whites  1 tbsp of salsa  1 cup of coffee with milk and sug...
