Back to work today from the weekend and I’m feeling pretty good. Had my Greek yogurt for breakfast mixed with a small diced apple, 2T protein granola and 1/2 pkt of no sugar added oatmeal. Drank my slimfast w/ff fairlife milk & 1/2 banana for my mid morning snack and just finished my leftover chicken zucchini enchilada casserole for lunch. I felt myself getting full so put the cover back on it and put it away. I think that is part of my downfall; I feel myself getting full when I'm eating and I feel that if I stop eating that I’m either going to be hungry again in a half hour or I’m just going to sit and think about food all day till it kills me because I didn't "finish' my meal. I really need to learn to stop doing that and thinking like that.
I'm trying to up my water intake a little, even having a cup of tea in between.

After I got home from work I was tired so I figured if I did my exercise right then, then I could just relax for the rest of the evening, so that’s what I did. I did 15 minutes on my simply fit board and it felt really good. I ate my dinner which was Maryland crab cakes  cooked in the air fryer and a serving of cauliflower fried rice which I couldn’t eat much of because I got full quickly and listened to my body this time and put the plate away. We watched a movie after dinner so my snack was another yogurt with omega 3 trail mix in it and frozen blueberries. All in all I had a really good day.

I never got around to continuing how yesterday went so I’ll continue now. I turned out to be a decent day. I ate pretty good, did my cleanse and got a decent amount of exercise in. I am happy with how I did. I walked and RAN a little on the treadmill and tried out Angie’s elliptical machine. I loved it and ended up going online and ordering one. Can’t wait till it comes in. We have a room right now that has the treadmill and gazelle in it so that will be perfect. We can exercise at the same time too which will be nice. I find that if you’re doing it with someone else, you’re more apt to do it then if you’re doing it alone.
Today is staring out good too. I drank my slim-fast and banana for breakfast after I drank my cleanse, yum, lol. Planning on making a yummy salad for lunch then my chicken zucchini enchilada casserole for dinner. That IS yummy. I usually portion it all out after dinner and have it for my lunches throughout the week. I can post the recipe if anyone wants it, just let me know. I’ll post if pic of it too. It’s just so yummy AND very healthy. Not sure what I’ll get in for exercise today because after church I have to do taxes and prepare dinner but I’ll at least try something. 

I did it. Had a really good day. Used the elliptical, walked and ran on the treadmill and did good with my food. I forgot to post a pic of my dinner but I do have my leftovers so will try to remember tomorrow. Got my taxes done too and took my shower and just finished my before bed snack; Greek yogurt with blueberries, 1/2 packet no sugar added oatmeal & 1/4 c omega 3 trail mix. 

Bavk to work tomorrow. Got all my breakfasts and lunches ready in the fridge and my work bag for work snd I have my day all planned out in MFP so I will do my best to stick to it. 

Today is the day. Drank my 1st cleanse bottle this morning. Thank goodness it was only 4oz because it was ok but very tart but I drank it. Now I’m having my slimfast shake made with 1/2 banana and fat free fairlife milk. So yummy ????

Today has been good but its only 1:20 and I just finished my lunch. I am normally a very positive person who always sees the glass half full but this whole trying to get back to my disciplined eating lifestyle is HARD. I am having such a hard time controlling ‘head hunger’ and overeating, especially when dealing with a ton of stress lately. I have crap for support at home and a lot of stress with my marriage lately too. When I think things start going good, slam, another bump in the road.
Anyway, I have done fairly good this week. I pretty much stayed away from sweets but for some reason, it doesn’t matter what I eat for meals, I still feel hungry afterwards as though I haven’t eaten hardly anything even though I know I’ve had enoug. I’m sure its all in my head so HOW do I stop it??

I am ready for tomorrow. Didn’t do too too bad today. Amber and I are having a night together so stopped at Walmart on the way to pick up some groceries and snacks. We had some really yummy salads with avocado, mozzarella cheese, hard boiled eggs and grilled chicken for dinner. For dessert/snack we had sugar free Russell stover chocolates and Halo Top ice cream. I did go over my calories by a little bit at least it was somewhat guiltless.

Tomorrow will be a ‘fresh start’. Send me strength!!!!! 

 The past 2 days were pretty good. Had a couple little extras but nothing major and still ended up staying within 100 calories of my goal so I’m good with that. I’m hoping that I’m moving in the right direction. 

Today is a new day and I’m hoping for another good day. It’ll be my 3rd full day back at work and yes, I’m looking forward to the weekend so I can sleep in and relax. I’m going to try doing a cleanse too. Amber (my 18 yr old daughter) and I each got a 2 day It Works cleanse. No clue if it works at all but it can’t hurt. We’re going to do it over the weekend so that we can plan ahead what we’re goibg to eat. My goal with it is to kick start me into getting into the right mindset and to get me started with losing my cravings  and just in the right direction. For now, I’m just praying for strength to keep going in the right direction.

Yay! Very proud of myself. I made it through yesterday without stopping at the candy dish at work, inhaling junk food at home; I followed my plan. Now let’s try it again. 

 Drinking my coffee right now and planning out my food for the day. I have it marked down in MFP so I’ll keep my fingers crossed that today will bea better day. I did tell everyone last night that I wanted all the junk food out of the house so it’s not the first thing I think of when I get home from work. 

So far so good. It’s only 11:00 but I’m feeling confident. I had my slimfast shake made w/ 1/2 banana and ff fairlife milk and am now sipping water/protein drink. Think I’ll make another coffee, lol. At least I’m getting protein in as my creamer, ???? 

Just had my lunch. I’m a little worried now because for some strange reason, I eat my lunch and I know I’ve eaten plenty of food but I still feel hungry. I know it’s head hunger too but this is what’s killing me. 

 
Why in the world do I do that to myself? It’s not like I’m not eating enough but as I sit here, I’m getting anxious already about after work. Being at work I’m more controlled because I only have with me what I’ve brought but at home, it’s a whole different environment and I worry about it. The worst part though is that I worry about how I’m going to do at home, plan what I am going to eat and not eat but then do the opposite. As I am filling my face with junk, I’m thinking in the back of my head, I shouldn’t eat this, this isn’t good for me, I’m going to feel bad after, etc etc BUT I STILL eat it. What the heck is wrong with me?
Maybe by blogging all this down, I may read it after and it might open my eyes. It can’t hurt. 

Today started out with the best of intentions. I planned everything ahead in MFP that I was going eat for the day. I went back to work today full time for the 1st day since my surgery at the end of December. Towards the end of the day, I was getting pretty tired. I was beginning to get hungry too but I kept telling myself that I need to be good and stick to my plan. Well, that sort of all went down hill as soon as I walked in the door after work. As soon as I got in I saw the container of cupcakes my daughter made yesterday for the super bowl. There were 2 left so I grabbed one and ate it. I did journal it in MFP right away though. I sat in my chair and was just so tired I didn’t feel like fixing my dinner so I got up and grabbed 2 graham crackers and sat back down. Not a very smart decision. To top things off, I grabbed my bag of cross stitch stuff to work on for a bit and while getting my stuff out I came across a candy bars the bottom of it from last night. Instead of being ‘smart’ and leaving it there, what do I do? I ate the darn thing. Wtf! Why do I do that? 

Today is starting out hard. It’s just my son and me until the church bus comes to get him. I marked down kn mfp ahead of time what I plan to eat today. Well, my son is completely misbehaving which is really stressing me which I no isn’t a reason but instead of making a slimfast shake as planned, I had a bowl of cereal and half a banana which is fine but I enjoyed havingthat crunch I went and had seconds. I did journal it though in mfp so at least I’m staying accountable in that sense. I’m praying for the strength to make better choices the rest of the day. It’s now 3:00  and I’ve been doing pretty good so far. I got some chores done and did some things around the house to keep myself busy so I wasn’t really thinking about food. Heading to a super Bowl party this evening so I made sure to do really good this afternoon because I know that I’m gonna have a hard time with food over there which I’m still going to do my best to eat my best, but just in case I slip a little bit, I won’t beat myself up over it.
