Fruit

So I am in charge of fruit for my small group bbq tonight. I have seen these made and thought they are so cute..but not 65$ cute LOL! So I decided to give it a try. I will say now I see why they charge so much, but I now know some techniques and could probably do it faster if there is a next time.

This might actually get me to eat fruit!

Tuesday Tuesday

I went and ran 3 miles this morning. About died....but I did it! Tonight I plan to add some new music to my ipod. I am tired of my mix right now.

I had a low cal day yesterday, but decided today that I am going to go back to what worked for me when I lost weight 6 years or so ago.

I was eating the following:
B: protein shake
S: protein shake
L: Chicken breast, brown rice and a veggie
S: protein shake or fruit
D: Same as lunch

I was working out 45 mins a day on the elliptical and the weight FELL off me! This is about 1200 cals a day and totally doable once the first week or so are under my belt. I plan to grocery shop tonight and prepare a bunch of chicken and rice so that each night I can pack it up for lunch at work. I have a my protein shakes already and plan to get a few pieces of fruit for the rest of the week. I DONT like fruit....but I know it helps satisy my sweet cravings that I get every now and again.

I hope if I can get back into the habit of this eating for a month or so and the weight comes back off that I will be motivated enough to stay working on it. When I lost before I got to 155lbs ish and was able to maintain there until I got pregnant eating regular food just not OVER eating it. By the time I had lost 45 lbs I was feeling so good I didnt want to eat the CRAP that I am now.

Gotta DIG DEEP!

Back on track

Man its been a crazy weekend and I ate my way through it. I just cant seem to get a handle on my eating!! Like excuse after excuse of why its ok just this once BLAH!

We had my Father in law and his girlfriend in town for the weekend. It was bbq after bbq and lots of drinking. I am scared to weigh myself, although I am hoping some of the running is helping to counteract all my gross eating.

I have been guzzling water today and had my oatmeal, my hands are swollen and my ring wont come off.

I will come back tomorrow with a more interesting upbeat post.

long time no write

Sorry for the lack of posting. With the 4thof July and sick kids....then I got sick too. I am back at work today after taking the last two days off. Hubby is out of town at camp and I have watched all the chick flick movies that are out at Red Box. Also made a few practice cakes and had my first official sale..of course I ran right out and bought a bunch of new supplies.

I have not worked out, but eating has been decent. Not as much night snacking since hubby is gone and I have no one to share popcorn with. He comes home tomorrow and early Friday morning I will be out running 4 miles...my run is coming up!

Off to read some of your blogs and find out whats been going on with you!

Thursday

Ahhhh finally my Friday. I love having 3 day weekend espeically when its a holiday. This year for budget reasons (which I dont fully understand) they are doing fireworks in my town on Friday night instead of Sat. We have some good friends that live near the ball park so we can sit in their front lawn and watch the show and NOT have to deal with the traffic! We are going to bbq and enjoy the show.

Saturday will be low key. Probably going to my sisters for a bbq and some swimming. Lots of laundry and packing since my hubby leaves for church camp Sunday after church. He will be gone until Thurs of next week. This is his first year going to camp as the official "Worship Leader". He is pumped and has some great music planned for the kids! I will take this week to catch up on some sewing, bake a few practice cakes and sleep!! The bad part is I wont be able to run in the morning all week since he wont be home while the kids are sleeping. So I will have to rely on the elliptical to keep me going.

Speaking of GOING...I ran 4 miles today!!!! It took me an hour, which is in line with the hour and a half I have to run my six miles for my race later this month. I had to walk here and there to catch my breath. My ipod ran out of batteries so I did alot of praying for God to keep my legs going!

Thanks to you that checked out my new blog. I know having a weight loss blog linking to a cake blog is probably MEAN, but I wanted to get some opinions on the layout.
