Countdown to Maui - 10 days!

Good morning!  Here is today's shot!  Feeling better today than I did yesterday!  Slept horribly last night though... awful dreams and two kids in my bed with me!  Sheesh!  When will I learn!

Eeek... look how messy my bathroom looks!

Weight: 165.2
Goal weight for Maui: 164

Breakfast: 250ml coconut milk, Tcocoa, Tinstant coffee, 1 banana, BLEND!
Snack: 1 nectarine, 1T almond butter
EEEEEK:  Co-worker bought me a mocha.... from Tim Horton's... didn't want to hurt his feelings but didn't want to drink it either.... BUT I did.... DAMN!
Lunch: Leftovers from last night - lettuce wraps with chicken, carrots, cucumber and hoisin sauce.  Yummy!
Afternoon snack:
Dinner: 1 BBQ'd pork chop (no sauce), 1/2 plate of salad with balsamic vinegarette (homemade), baked beets and carrotts.  Yummy!
Another oops: I should never have even put my hand in the box... but I did... ate about 10 gluten free animal crackers.  Could have been worse though - everyone else had cake and ice cream!

Countdown to Maui... 11 days!

This is my secret blog... LOL... I know people can stumble across it, but nevertheless, I doubt anyone will.

I have struggled with my weight as long as I can remember.  I am weak... what you eat in private shows in public!  This year I lost nearly 30lbs and I have sworn to keep it off... unlike other years.  I am currently up by 1.2lbs with just 11 days to go until we leave for Maui.  The reality is... I WILL gain weight in Maui.  I know myself... but I am not the same person I used to be.  The one who would throw caution to the wind and eat whatever I wanted and figure that come January I would lose the weight.  I am NOT the person who makes a "mistake" and then gives up for the rest of the week.  I am changing my mindset... slowly.  I want to be healthy.  And I want to look good.

So, I took a picture this morning at home but then my hubby took my iphone in for repair.  Eeeek!  Now somebody out there has a picture of me like this... except in bootie shorts.  OMG!  Since I want a daily pic, I took my phone to the bathroom at work and took one.  What the hell!  Here it is.... A little scary around the midsection... always a struggle for me!

Today's weight:  167.4
Goal weight for Maui: 164

Breakfast: 250ml rice milk, Tcocoa, Tinstant coffee, 1 scoop Vega One, 1 banana
Morning snack: Talmond butter, 1 nectarine
Lunch: Chickpea chicken salad - chickpeas, corn, red onion, red pepper, shredded chicken.  Dressing was lemon juice and a sprinkle of salt.
Afternoon snack: 1 small banana
Dinner: (going to kickboxing, so can't eat a normal dinner tonight) 250ml coconut milk, handful of blueberries, 1/2 banana, 5 small strawberries - blend!
After workout: 2 chicken lettuce wraps - lettuce, shredded plain chicken, carrots, cucumbers and a tiny bit of hoisin sauce.


Workout: 1 1/4 hours of kickboxing!  Sweat like a mofo because it was about 100degrees up there!

Good day!  Feeling good, but slept like crap!
