Since creating my new food blog I've moved all food related posts to it. I will not be updating these areas anymore.
above are advertisements
You went. You played. You ate (and ate, and ate). You drank. You had FUN!
Now you’re home and it’s time to make better choices, hit the gym and prepare for the week!

Don't buy Doritos telling yourself they are really for the husband and then proceed to eat half the bag. Don’t even BUY the baked Doritos in the first place. You KNOW you have no self-control when they are in the house.

NEVER go to a kid’s birthday party hungry. Especially when they are serving pizza, cake, ice cream, M&M’s, chips, AND pretzels.

JUST STOP!!!
Sometimes you just have to scream at yourself to stop mindlessly munching.
And why, oh WHY, when I have a house full of fresh fruit, do I chose Sun Chips? These things are too addictive!
Just posted a new video and tomorrow is off to the gym for me! Right now it's horror movie night with the hubby! Gotta go!!

You still need some level of accountability on the weekends. They just can’t be a stream of mindless nibbles.
Yes, you are maintaining nicely but if you want to loose those 5 pesky pounds you gained this winter you are going to have to get a bite more serious.
That being said, good job on the step class yesterday and the weight training session today. And yes, you did actually bench more then that young man in the weight room!
Feeling strong feels great!
Oh! And I made this awesome guilt free Mexican dinner idea too!

Remember this feeling.
I stayed with my food plan and after a long day of work (including a round of racquetball in the morning) I came home hungry. Now any other day when I saw the pizza the husband ordered I would have eaten ALL the leftovers. Tonight, I closed the box, cut up, sautéed some veggies and topped them with some of my leftover sauce.
I FEEL GREAT! Better then great, in control.

Pack more healthy snacks for the day. You aren’t eating enough and I think it’s causing you to want to snack excessively after dinner.
However, good job keeping it in check and making a healthy snack instead of grabbing a bag of chips or having the husbands chocolate cupcakes. It was WAY more satisfying and much better for you.
(side note: I posted a new video tonight, watch me make part of my dinner!)

Next time you have a nice lunch planned and your husband asks if you want to go out for Japanese. Don’t say yes. You know it’s going to take him forever to get ready and you are going to get to too hungry and then want everything on the menu.
It threw off my whole day!!

Wrapping presents all night is NOT an invitation to snack excessively before going to bed. Especially after indulging in brownie a la mode at Chick-fil-a.
However.... I AM done wrapping!! :~D

Recognize ‘the cycle’ and deal with it in other ways besides FOOD!
I had such a great week and now today I’m a bottomless pit, a bag of chips, pizza, cookies. To make it worse, I WEIGH IN TOMORROW!!!
*sigh*
We’ll see how it goes.

When you are leaving Atlantic City DO NOT go to the gourmet store buy a bag of dark chocolate covered blueberries and then proceed to eat the ENTIRE bag on the drive home.
This after quite an overindulgent weekend, not too bad but definitely not on point.
I did have a BLAST thought, now it's back to work. I'll be back later with my little announcement!

DRINK MORE WATER!!
For the past week, I’ve been slacking on the water only because of convenience. I usually pick up a case of water and leave it in my office at work. Well, I ran out and I haven’t had time replace my stash. I need to make more of an effort. Today I didn’t drink anything all day!

Just because you were feeling a bit stressed and alone at the toddlers Halloween party does NOT give you permission to eat everything in sight.
Can anyone say, sugar overload?
BLEH!

If you are starving after work and the husband asks if you want to go out to dinner, NEVER recommend a new bar and grill that opened up at the mall. You KNOW that bar food is a big weakness of yours.
Next time, follow the plan and cook the nice lean pork loin you defrosted. It would have been so much better for you. Plus you wouldn’t feel like a beached whale right now.
P.S. I wrote that note to myself before calculating my points for the day. To my surprise the day wasn’t a totally disaster. I really thought it was. Just goes to show, never just throw the day away because you think you messed up. Face it, count it and move on. It’s probably not as bad as you think.

Don’t brag about being in the zone and then go to work unprepared when it’s someone birthday.
To make it worse the husband brought home Cinnabons!!! From the devil, the d-e-v-i-l I SAY! 730 calories, 24 g of fat!
I may sell my soul and have a half. Not sure yet.

Just because you've been sick for 2 days and didn't have an appetite does NOT give you permission to totally over stuff yourself with Pizza and Doritos the minute you start to feel better.

You were thirsty not hungry. Next time, don’t grab the ice cream container out of the freezer. Measure out a serving size, pour a big glass of water and enjoy.
