I knew it would happen

Sure, I figured a BAD DAY of eating would come, but I didn't expect it to happen yesterday!!!
Actually, I don't know why I didn't expect it!
Corey left for a week, it was pouring down raining, and NOTHING to do but eat!!!!
The worst includes:
3 pieces of pizza
3 cinna-stix (SOOOOO good from Dominoes)
Ice-cream sundae
but...
Today is a new day, and I will recover!!!!
The gym has been gone to (I know already, I am good)
and the required breakfast has been eaten...

My last 2 days...

WENT VERY WELL!!!
I continued with the exercise and the eating, I did vary the meals a bit, but was very reasonable, and tried to only eat a small portion.
Everything went well.
Even on Friday, we had boiled shrimp, and roasted potatoes and corn on the cob for dinner.
On Saturday we went out to dinner and I was afraid that I would "be bad" but I had a pulled pork sandwich (minus the bun) and 5 french fries.
This might be the best I have been in a long time.
FOR ME< it is all about the whole package. If I can work out, then I will eat better.
One without the other, doesn't work.

so, no raw food diet for me right now. maybe when i'm done nursing i'll try it for a month. and i missed the 4 day diet plan. i've been eating pretty normal i think. not great. i'd like to be more strict, but i have so many excuses! and kelly, you're dead on. i usually live outside the USA, so my diet is pretty healthy. when i'm back in country, i have a tendency to eat all my cravings... all the things i used to eat here. for example: coffee drinks, cookies, brownies, ice cream, pizza... these are some of my favorite things. 

but, thanks to a friend, i'm trying a crazy idea to eat less sugar (with the idea of becoming sugar-free:), more protein.  and also thanks to friends, i am jogging every other day (3-4 miles), and in the gym on the off days. we are considering running the columbus half marathon. am i crazy? what do you think? 

kel, what is a good substitute for oatmeal? 

I'm back.......

I'm back on! Today I'm fasting - lots of water and a small amount of coffee so far. Then I will try the required menu. My 15 yr. old daughter came to me wanting to plan one day a week for her and I go go biking, walking, hiking, etc. Thanks, Abby! She's trying to help and support me. We've had so much rain and with a granddaughter coming early, I haven't done very well walking or exercising. But...speaking of butts...mine IS getting a workout everyday in the garden. Squats galore!

Repeat x 3

Again with the meals...boring!!!! But effective.
I am feeling good, and overall have had a very good 3 days! I have gotten to the gym each day (yesterday a Be-Fit class) and I feel like I haven't missed much!
I do not miss the greasy drive through food, or the bowl of ice-cream at night!
It seems when EVERYTHING comes together (eating right and exercising) then all is well.

Day 2 Going well so far!

I woke up and went to a tone 15 minute ab class, and a hour of tone and sculpt!

Had the "required" breakfast ( even after making blueberry muffins for the staff at school)

Had the "required" lunch.

For snack I had 2 whole wheat crackers with peanut butter on the (not on the list, but I was at the pool and unprepared)

Had 1 beer (it's on the list...right???)

Great day
I woke up and ran 5 miles
I ate the "required" breakfast.
I ate the "required" lunch.
No snack, I need to go to the produce stand!
Dinner was grilled steak and grilled eggplant.
Dessert was a skinny cow ice cream bar!
I feel good.
