Don't give up - ever

This has not been the best week for me. I feel like if I admit it on this blog, then I have no choice but to turn this around!

Two words - Chocolate and Potatoes.



The holidays left me with too many potatoes and chocolates. And I ate them. Yes, I ate them. I filled my own Easter bag with Protein bars so I wouldn't over indulge, and I did anyway... I'm not mad at myself, I just know I need to get back at it.

First thing that needs done is a recipe search for dinners. Then a grocery trip to fill the house with only good foods. (which means no more chocolate, and whatever remains needs to go downstairs into the upright freezer - you know the kind... the one that is so out of the way that you rarely frequent it, lol)

I do like potatoes, but last year, we cut wayyyyy back on potatoes. The only ones we ate were ones I made from freshly cut ones. Yep, that meant NO frozen french fries. And I was fine with that. But we've been lazy lately. And, I mean, french fries.....yum!
My biggest issue is I get bored making the same dinner recipes, and get tired of looking for new ones, or ones that end up tasting any good (I've had my share of dinner fails).
I think I'm going to try my hand at potato recipes that only use cauliflower - think my teen will be able to tell the difference? lol

I need to be better and I know I can do this. The key is keeping it out of my house.

My nemisis

I am failing miserably at this diet thing... I just want to look better and feel better and be healthy. The pandemic did me in...I'm serious. Suddenly I was no longer alone in the house, which was nice, but it turned me from getting my steps in while watching tv, and trying a new on-demand exercise routine to sitting. Mr. G working in the other room has me more self conscious about doing any of those things that I used to. And yes, that's a ME problem. Then there was the community panic of "Stores are going to run out of food!" So we were buying anything we could find in anticipation for empty shelves. (Now we know the only shelves that went empty were toilet paper, paper towels, I'm hearing baby formula, and cat food. Then breakfast sandwiches-which was odd.) But I went from buying all fresh veggies and proteins to whatever I could find. I still don't eat frozen chicken nuggets or strips, and I do make frozen fresh chicken. BUT my eating habits went crazy. I ...

It's Time to be Awesome

Yesterday I started over (wait, have I said that before?) I watched my calories, and drank my shake for lunch (instead of eating something) and tried to get in my water. It was rough. When you get used to eating foods, and not so healthy foods, it is hard to not eat them. And you crave them. You mistakenly think you need them. And it sucks. And it's hard. But if you want it bad enough, you'll try. And I am. I am trying again today. I will take this one day at a time - no, one meal at a time. We (meaning my husband and I) ordered Fit Boards. Yep, we did. Yes, the ones you saw on Shark Tank. I'll let you know if they work. I got very used to snacking in the morning and the afternoon and the evening. Did you? This quarantine made me lazy. I look at the room and say "I should vacuum/dust" then I don't. And I keep thinking I am not going anywhere this summer, so what am I fighting for? Then I see people on tv like former WWE wre...

No Bueno

Well, this week's weigh in was a bust. I didn't lost anything. But I knew that would be the case, because my whole body felt weighed down, like I was full of fluid. So I can only think the numbers on the scale weren't accurate. I don't know why I felt so bloated all weekend? We've been eating a lot of bagels - maybe that's it. I tried to drink my water this week, and thought I was doing pretty well. All I can do is get back at it tomorrow. That's all you can ever do - keep at it! I was hoping to find something to replace water in the afternoon, something that would still hydrate me, but no luck yet. Water can be hard sometimes... What keeps me going is how far I've come. I realized since I started this journey in 2018, I've lost 2inches off my stomach, and 4 inches off my hips. It might be small, but it's something, and it has stayed off. Small victories, and time to keep at it for more results! I have a goal, and I am determined to...
