I am down 30 lbs from 249 when I started this journey!

So, this week we had a 6th birthday party this week for the youngest niece! That meant cake and sour cream enchiladas that she requested. I did help buy the ingredients for the food, and made a sneaky switch from Sour Cream to Greek Yogurt.  NOBODY KNEW.  I planned ahead and knew what I was getting into at the party, so I was prepared for this.


Today in the meeting they talked about not beating yourself up, forgiving yourself, and learning how to treat yourself like you would your best friend.
That particular part spoke to me, a lot. I wouldn't be that hard on my bestie, why would it be okay to treat myself badly.

Checking in!
I didn't gain or lose this week. So, it could have been better - but it also could have been worse. And I am very much not gonna complain about that. This week, I had 2 Advanced classes graduate, and Jezebel's mom brought Carrot Cake cupcakes with cream cheese centers. YUM. So, how could I turn them down? I ate 3 or 4 out of 24, I gave most of them away so I wouldn't be tempted. Keep that stuff outta the house!! Oh and monday was Cheryls birthday, so I had a cupcake then too. Bah. Oh well lol
Nothing much to report, except that my eye has improved this week from the shot. YAAAAY :)

A few days late, but I remembered at least. Better late than never?

Yay! Back down again. Last week I had buckled down hard, but so far this week has been trouble.

Tuesday I went and had an "emergency" opthomology visit with my Doctor. I've been mostly nervous, because the last 2 visits are the same spot in my good eye, in the upper left area of my vision bothering me. OH, and -this- time I had a weird sensation of looking through lace after the shot was given. It had the tight feeling, or dimming out feeling that I get when I am light headed and about to pass out. It was very unsettling, but the pressure's were normal and he couldn't explain what it was. It disappeared within 5 or so minutes, but man... it was odd. Josh was not happy about that, it just makes him more nervous.

But I have goals for this week. Tomorrow morning I am going to walk the dog, eat a veggie burger lunch, chicken and rice for dinner. I plan on going very first thing in the morning on my walk though, Sam needs a walk just as bad as I do.

This week was not a glorious weigh in. I gained a bit, mostly because for whatever reason, I got too lazy to track anything. I mean, I went 5 days without tracking and gained 2 lbs. WHAT?!?!
So, this week I am actually cracking down hard on myself, and really working on portion control, not eating out as much, and I want to clock in 30 minutes of exercise at least 5 days a week. I went to the grocery store, bought my veggie patties, watermelon, cheeses, chicken... all that good stuff to get my back on track!!
Oh, and tracking!

Something else I found that helps is to spend more time looking at healthy pins on pinterest!
