Not sure why I am having such a hard time focusing today! It's so easy to get distracted, a bite here a bite there, they all add up! I did so well for breakfast and snack, but at lunch I picked too much. The voice in my head told me not too, but I did anyway. Even though all the things I was snacking on were healthy choices, I still need to watch my portion sizes. I have struggled with portion control my whole life. I have often wondered if that has been most of my problem, not just the foods I eat. I love food, big plates of food and 2nds and 3rds were normal growing up. I'm still not used to just being satisfied when I always ate until I was full and needed to unbutton my pants. That will take years to retrain my body I suppose, but I will do it!
I have a new recipe tonight I am trying out. Stuffed cabbage made with quinoa instead of the ultra starchy rice. I bought the organic quinoa and it had half of the carbs than the regular one. I made the rice version for the boys. I'm slowly and secretly slipping things in the MAB way, but quinoa is new to me so I want to test it out first.
I also started my scale challenge today. I got on it and then put it away until next week. It may just kill me but I will do it! I really hope to see a significant loss next week. I want to see the 250's that I haven't seen in about 10 years. When I got pregnant with my daughter I weighed 217, after delivery I weighed 245. I never saw that number again, I only gained from there. Oddly enough I weighed 275 when I got pregnant with Ronan and gained 8 lbs through my whole pregnancy. After delivery I dropped down to 262, I had lost weight during my pregnancy and my boy was 2 lbs bigger than his sister! I am still to this day stumped by that! I am so close to the 250's I can taste it! It's a short term goal that I plan to meet next week. I will keep you posted!
Off to drink my water!

Thanks for your blog! I am struggling very hard right now knowing that I worked my butt of (once again) and ate perfectly and lost nothing. I hate weeks/months like this. I am going to FL in a few weeks and really need to be able to fit in my clothes! I will of course keep at it like I am supposed to but it is hard not to feel down and want to give up, but I won't!
ReplyDeleteDon't give up April! I expected a big loss over the week as I had eaten like Crap for the week prior, but it fluctuated between 2 and 4 lbs all week and I ate good food, not junk. Today I am back at it, and you are too. Oh and take me to Florida too ;)
