God this is good!

I am talking about my lunch!  It's incredible!

Good day today so far... drinking water.

Today's weight - 169.6 (at least it's under 170!)
Goal weight - 165

Breakfast - the usual
Snack - egg whites
Lunch - a handful of shrimp, 1/2 a chopped avocado, 1 chopped tomato, some lettuce leaves... don't know?  spring mix maybe, some chick peas (although these could be omitted).  Squeezed a little lime on there and voila... an amazing lunch!

Sweaty and nasty after KB last night... but feeling good!

Starting over... again?

This time of year is soooooooooooooo hard for me.... There's a ton of birthdays in my family in October - 11 to be precise... it's hard to stay eating clean when there is all that cake around!  Then there's Thanksgiving, add a surgery in there, and Halloween... Holy Shit it's hard!  BUT, no excuses, I have to get back to my comfy weight before the Xmas season starts or I will end up where I was last year! (30lbs overweight and working my ass off to get rid of it!).

So, I'm starting over for the third time this year, but hey, at least I haven't given up which is where I am normally at....

Today - forgot to weigh... what????
Goal weight - December 1st = 165lbs

Breakfast - the shake (see previous) - tired of writing this out.
Snack - egg whites and a plum
Lunch - A can of tune mixed with some Waldon Farms' honey mustard dressing (have you tried this??  It's amazing - calorie free vinegar based) and some salad.  Yummy!
Snack... I forgot one
Dinner - 1/2 cup oats mixed with a handful each of raisins, real coconut, chia seed, hemp hearts and a bit of coconut sugar.  Mmmmmmm, I LOVE this!

Workout - I kickboxed like a crazy lady last night and loved every minute of it!!!!

Then............. I got home and sweet Matty had made popcorn for me... with butter.... a whole bowl of it.  Why don't I have any willpower to say NO?  I ate it... all of it...... Ugh....

That's a HUGE plate of food.... but it was sooooooooo good!

Eye surgery, still healing but definitely wasn't interested in eating properly while this was taking place!

Back to Reality!

Okay... I'm really struggling here... It's post Maui and I am "up" 7.2 lbs from my comfortable weight.  I can feel it in my clothes.  It doesn't feel good.  I haven't been working out, my schedule is crazy, I'm accountable to no one... In fact, I ate three donuts yesterday.  I'm like a total addict right now.  I NEED to get back off gluten and dairy - I feel so, so, so much better when I do!  So... in the theme of beating the OLD ME, I need to get back to reality and realize that I do not want to get fat again by Christmas.... like I have for the last five years...

Here's today's diet:

Breakfast: 250ml skim milk (I am out of coconut... grocery day is FRIDAY), protien powder, one banana, cocoa, instant coffee, and a tsp of sun butter... I am LOVING the sunbutter.

1 black coffee

Snack - 4 egg whites w/ a bit of salt

Lunch - chickpea salad with a chunk of roasted chicken (from Safeway... not the best option, but better than the chips, chocolate, and croissants I've been eating)

Snack - 1/2 of a huge apple!!!!

Dinner - Ugh... It was Nate's birthday today, so his choice was McDonald's.  Not gonna lie, I was sooooooo tempted to have the McChicken... but I had a Santa Fe Salad instead.  It was really, really good... got me thinking about it all day today.

Of course I had cake.... I didn't really even want it, but I ate it anyway....

Proud of one thing though - I did not come home rooting around the house for more crap to eat.  I stuck to my guns and did not snack tonight!  Yay me!  One small accomplishment...


Today's weight - 172.2
Dec 1 goal weight - 165

First day of clean eating in about two months.... And tomorrow I am back to kickboxing!!!!  Here we go!!!!!
