Well, never did my video. My 3 year old went up and fell asleep while I was making lunch and just woke up. I dont think she's feeling too hot. And now I have to shower and get ready to go to a high school play my niece is in. I'll try as soon as I get back.

Today was majorly off plan...my mom was in town, and she took me out to dinner and then we also got some krispy kreme donuts at the grocery store. I was doing well until I had the krispy kremes. I feel like as soon as I eat something like that I just keep craving more and more and keep eating more and more. Then, no food is sweet enough and I want to just keep eating cakes and cookies and donuts and ice cream. So, I think for now, I'm going to try to avoid high sugar treats like those. it seems that as soon as I eat something like that, my control goes out the window. I end up eating more and more, even though I don't really want it.

So, i think I'm going to try giving up those foods for a week to see what happens. I'll still eat chocolate, because it doesn't seem to have the same effect on me. I want to learn to really enjoy foods that aren't totally junk food. I start to enjoy healthy whole foods until I have more desserts, and then the healthy foods suddenly don't taste as good. I don't know if that makes sense; it's like I'm fine until I taste something with very high concentrations of sugar and then I go crazy!

So, tomorrow I'm going to get back on track and stay away from my trigger foods.

Those pancakes looked really amazing. I love pancakes, but I think I need to put more fruit and less syrup and butter on them. Your pancakes sound so healthy and delicious, I should really try pancakes with fruit as a topping. Thanks for the idea!

they actually did have syrup on them. Sugar free syrup it was like 30 calories for 1/4 cup. Which is a lot or syrup!

My boyfriend is eating waffles and I want a waffle.

But I won't do it. Nope. Cause they ain't gonna do me any good except momentary satisfaction.

Nope - they aren't worth it.

I got up and put my pup out and then went straight back up and did Cardio Party so I wouldn't make excuses. So, I'm done now and don't have to worry about it the rest of the day!

I burned 499 cals and haven't eaten yet so I'm starving!

I also did my measurements this morning. I have lost 5 1/2 inches since Jan 2nd. I'm almost exactly where I was when I took my measurements Feb 14th last year but feel so much fatter. (I suppose because I lost more after that and gained it again..who know?)

I'll also be tracking cals today. I don't know why I would wait until tomorrow to start again.

Oh ow. weekends...

I always have the same daily plan... 1300 cals/ 64 oz water. On the weekends if I know I'm going out I count as much as I can and hardly ever go overboard...

Fri- I ate quite a bit of snack food because I was craving it but stayed under my calorie range. Then went to the bar which put me about 500 cals over for the day (I drink rum/diet so not a lot of cals for a drink- like 120) But then stayed out practically all night only getting about 4 hrs of sleep.

Sat- Ate right all day. Wasn't feeling top notch because of the night before so no desire to go bad food crazy. Went a party later though and had a few beers and some vodka. Ended up eating 1 slice of cheese pizza and some spinach/artichoke dip (that was pretty diet friendly- I made it myself for the party) Then went to a diner later and had one slice of french toast. So didn't go crazy with the food again, surely still over, I'm about to go estimate cals in a bit... but stayed out all night AGAIN only getting 3 hours of sleep.

Sun- I'm BURNT OUT. have a superbowl party later and feel so blahhhh from the rest of the weekend that I will most definitely NOT be drinking or even in the mood to eat ANY party food.

So to sum up my weekend... I have learned to control myself pretty well. The was a bad off diet weekend and it wasn't even so bad. Every day I have been chugging water like crazy to rehydrate and flush out the bad stuff. BUT on the negative, food isn't everything! I didn't eat that badly but the lack of sleep and alcohol is taking it's toll on me! So I don't feel great because even though I let go a little on the food that's fine- but I treated my body badly all weekend by not sleeping and now I'm paying for it.

But hey, I'm young and I'm fun and in a way it was worth it!! haha

Yesterday was a success for me. I got a bonus workout in...I make saturdays optional and I went ahead and did 35 minutes and burned 450 calories.

I also stayed within my calories yesteday! Horray!

I worked again today 45 minutes and 600 calories and I am making no promises not to eat a single hot wing...but my goal is to use portion control!

[bjeweled]

Good luck to everyone attending a Super Bowl party tonight!

Yesterday was not a good day.

Today started out with good intentions. But then we all went out for lunch after church & I had enchiladas. So, plan for the rest of the day is to eat light & I'm gonna head to the gym in a bit & do my 60 mins of cardio & then get the Shred in later. TOM showed up this morning, so I'm not even going to bother weighing because I'll be up like 7 lbs of bloat.

Have a great day today everyone!!! =)
