Rainy Monday 3:1

Monday came... again.
Why does she always have to do this?! I wasn't ready for her return.

But with Monday's return there starts the new week of hell, I mean logging.

I'm down another 4 lbs.
That makes a total of 10 lbs since I've started 2 weeks ago.

Today was such a rainy day that when I came home from work, I just had to take a nap.
I mean, theres nothing better than sleeping in the rain. There's something about it that makes everything so cozy.

My urge to snack on a cookie is still there, it's still very real. But I'm finding that when I'm having that "sweets" attack, if I chew a piece of gum it helps go away.
Gum has become my life saver!

It's not that I won't allow myself a cheat meal.
I'm just not ready for one yet.



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 tbsp of creamer

1/4 cup of shredded cheese

6 oz of grilled chicken
1/2 cup of white rice 
1 cup of brussels sprouts   

Snack 2: 
1/2 cup of cottage cheese 
1/2 cup of a fresh peach
1 tbsp 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...
