Hump Day 1:3

I resisted temptation again today!!

My office had no doctors in, so today was more of a laid back atmosphere.
I still had plenty of things to do. In fact, I still have a pile of them for tomorrow.

But my coworkers got chips and guacamole from Fair Way (Fair Way guacamole is amazing!!!!), and I didn't budge! I actually stuck to my meals and snacks I brought with me.

Even with all of the personal stress that I am currently dealing with, I didn't cave.

Unless you count my bedtime snack.
I normally have cottage cheese for my bedtime snack, but today I knew I needed a little bit of a "hump day" reward.

So I "splurged" and had the Chobani Greek Yogurt in "Watermelon".
Holy smokes this is just what I've been wanting!!!
Add in some sunflower seeds for texture (and protein), and I went to bed with a happy belly.

This totally made up for my chicken fail today.
For some reason my chicken for dinner just tasted awful.
And for the life of me, I cannot remember what seasoning I used!

Maybe next time I prep my chicken, I'll label the bags so I know what seasonings I used.

Normally when I come home from work I am exhausted. But these three days I've been non-stop from the minute I wake up (7am) to the minute I go to sleep (2-4am).
I can't tell if it's from my change in diet, my exercising, or the lemon water I have when I come home.

I think it might be the lemon water.
If so, I'm in luck because I drink about a half gallon of that each night the last two days.

Here's what I ate: 
Breakfast- 
1/2 cup of oatmeal 
1/2 banana
1/2 of egg whites with 1 tbsp of salsa 
iced coffee with 2 tbsp of creamer

6oz of seasoned grilled chicken 
1 cup of broccoli 
1/2 of a sweet potato with no skin 

Snack 2: 
3oz of baby carrots 

Snack 3: 
1 container of Chobani Greek Yogurt in Watermelon
1 tbsp of sunflower seeds

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...
