Happy Hump Day! Mid-week check-in! Not doing good with my water intake or my sleep! Late track meet, and waking up exhausted! Drinking too much coffee (is that a thing?)! I will not use it as an excuse to slip up!
How is everyone doing so far this week?

My omelet in a bowl! Eggs, egg whites, onion, ham, and 1 slice velvets. So good and full of protein!

My Monday Weigh-In

The reason I chose Monday as my weigh-in day is because I have always struggled with eating too much on the weekends. It holds me accountable! Anyone else have trouble with the weekends?

So I chaperoned my granddaughters field trip yesterday. It was fun, and I had no trouble walking around, and picking strawberries. The kids were running past schedule to get on the bus, so all the 1st graders got on the tractor wagon, and all the adults, and teachers got on the train to go back to the bus. The tractor wagon was full. I was too big to get in the train cart. I just said I’d walk back to get steps, but it made me feel humiliated and like crap. I have renewed motivation to take this weight off. I never want to not be able to participate in something because of my weight!
This is the train. My girl is in the pink one!

Today is my 10 year anniversary. My kids were grown and he had none when we married. I had 2 dogs and he had 1. Fast forward 10 years, we have two girls, 8 dogs, and an MS diagnosis. I weigh about 22 more pounds. Life moves fast and is full of surprises! This is why I’m striving to get healthy. I want to be around for my family and live my best life!

I tried the cottage cheese pizza bowl for lunch with protein chips. I added turkey pepperoni and black olives. It was good. I didn’t love the chips, the texture was off. Not like chips, more airy.

I have difficulty with self-care. I am always doing for everyone else. Today I left my to do list and went on a 2 mile walk. It felt good to be out moving. This is Rocky, one of our rescue dogs.

Trying not to get overwhelmed by everything I should be doing this weekend! Cleaning garden beds, planting more seeds, decluttering my office, putting away all the Easter decor, lesson plans for next week, finish unpacking from our trip, not to mention regular cleaning!
What’s one project you want to work on this weekend?

So we went to our dinner show last night. Ribs, fried chicken, mashed potatoes, mac n cheese, coleslaw, salad, beans, corn bread, strawberry short cake. I tried some of everything (except the chicken). I ended up with a bad stomach ache the rest of the evening. Too much food, and too many carbs!

After swimming, my girls got Mac n cheese, and my dad a bbq sandwich with fries. We took it back to the cabin so I was able to fix me something. I ate two pb&j rolls, some popcorn, and a protein coffee. The rolls were good. I saved up the cals for a Dole Whip float!

Got in a 2 1/2 mile walk this morning! Now sitting by the pool snacking on grapes & clementines.

We are here! After a nightmarish trip down, we finally made it to Disney’s Fort Wilderness Campground. I’m going from mom, and her healthy meals to dad with a cabin filled with Easter candy, Oreos, Tostitos, pizza, cheese dip, etc. I knew to pack my snacks, but it can be challenging with it out all the time!
My plan is to get up and go walking by myself in the morning!

I knew I’d be in Florida on my weigh in day so I weighed in a day early. I’m calling this a victory for Easter week. Normally I’d be eating all the Easter chocolates all week!
