45 Day Challenge: days 17-19

Well, I have figured out I am not good at remembering my every meal and snack anymore. Probably bc I'm not trying as hard to eat as great. I'm still eating ok, but I don't have a planned menu and it's killlliiinngggg my eating habits!!! I have been sticking pretty good to phase one still. Last night we went out on a group date and went to dinner. We went to Applebee's. Ewww, it was terrible! I did eat a couple boneless wings before my food came out. I ordered the fiesta lime chicken with steamed veggies, rather than rice. They chicken was sooooo gross I spit out my second bite. I think that may have been the first time in my life I have sent food back, but I was not about to pay for something so nasty!!!! Anyway, point of the story being, I ended up eating more boneless wings and a couple chips for dinner. But it didn't stop there... I also had some popcorn at the movie. aaaannndddd I felt like crap today. Back on track tomorrow, thank goodness!!! And no exercise this weekend either. And yes, next week is the Devil Dash, so I better get my shiz together, pronto!! P.S. I am going to try and journal my food and exercise again starting this week. As well as retake measurements. I took them about a week or so ago and I was down 6.75 inches.

45 Day Challenge: Days 10-16

Well, it's official, I am a horrible blogger!! I am not even going to try an remember exactly what I ate and did over the last week, because I probably wouldn't be very successful. I can, however, tell you that I did follow the South beach diet, no cheating (well for my official phase one time period). I did eat out a lot more than I would have liked. Mostly El Pollo Loco Chicken Avacado Bacon salad...YUMMY!!!! As far as exercise went, well, lets just say BAD! I had two issues going on... 1: Jonathan was taking a class which means I had the kids in the morning. I tried going to crossfit both Wed and Thur, but it didn't work out. Like I showed up and had to leave didn't work out. I also attempted to workout at home with our p90x videos, but this super cute 8mo old baby kept crawling under my feet. I did get a 30 minute walk in with a double stroller and 60lbs of kids, oh and 15-2ph winds blowing against me half of the way! Issue 2: this one pertains to this week, and it has everything to do with bein a girl!! I have had the worst cramps, and the 2nd and 3rd day of my period are the WORST!! Anyway, so I was not where I would have like to have been at Crossfit. Cutting rounds and doing step ups rather than jump ups by the end of the routine. VERY disappointing. But, in all honesty, the fact that I still went in my current condition is a HUGE improvement. I used to use it as an excuse to just not work out at all. Anyway, my dedication to the diet, and my attempt to stay dedicated to working out have paid off,or I should say ARE paying off (still have a long way to go!) I have lost 11.5 pounds as of today. I am going to stay on phase one for another week or so. I did have a small cheat at lunch yesterday when I ate a peanut butter chocolate chip muffin, but no other cheat in the last 16 days!!!!! At this rate, if it keeps up (hoping so!!) I will definitely meet my goal of 30lbs in 45 days, and have a month to enjoy it before I get pregnan again! Haha- I must be crazy!!!!
