Wednesday 5/9

Okay so today was a great day. I slightly cheated on my diet but I don’t really feel too badly about it. I'll explain in a second.

So this morning when I got up, I made myself a boiled piece of ham for breakfast and I had a bottle of water. I had some work to do on my computer so I didn’t really think about a morning snack until around 11 so the I just had a couple handfuls of dry roasted peanuts to help hold me over until I could find time to eat lunch. I knew that today I wanted to do my work out a little but different because it was Wednesday and we had church so I knew it would be easier if I just did my workout on my own today and then I could just come straight to Jens after church was over. So after Logan had eaten his lunch, I heated up a leftover pork chop and some lima beans. Yummy!! Then it was time to put Logan down for his nap. I laid down with him for about 45 minutes then I got up and did a couple things around the house until about an hour and a half had passed. I had to wait the long because at the beginning of my workout, it warns you not to work out until at least an hour has passed since your last meal. Today I had to do Plyometrics. Yuck! But I put the DVD in and I made myself get started. Just like last week, I was only able to do half of the workout but I know I worked harder then I did last week. This week I was able to do more of the moves in the workout, I was able to jump a little higher and I was able to lunge a little lower lol

After I finished working out, it was time to get ready for church. After my shower, my mom text'd me and said she wished she had made my dad cupcakes for his birthday (which is today, HAPPY BIRTHDAY WORKOUT BUDDY!!!) but she was then lying down with Logan and couldn’t get up or he would wake up. I decided that I would then make his cupcakes but I would have to hurry to get them done before church was over. Well, our cupcake mix was expired so I decided to make my dad’s favorite cookies, chocolate chip with walnuts. Well ask just about any girl and they will say they love cookie dough. I am one of those girls!!! I actually did pretty well. Normally I would have eaten several spoonfuls along the way but I only took one finger swipe of dough and it really was yummy!! Once the cookies were out of the oven, I swiped one but then quickly left them to cool while I got ready for church. For me, only eating one cookie is a great accomplishment. Some may see that as a failure to not eating something that is SBD approved, but I am making a lifestyle change. I am not just dieting until I lose my weight. I am training my body to eat healthier and to make better food choices along the way. For dinner, we did our usual fast food stop and today we did Chick-fil-a. Did you guys know that they now serve grilled chicken tenders for kids?? I didn’t! I ordered a kids meal for myself tonight. lol I had 6 grilled chicken nuggets and a fruit cup. This is where I slightly cheated on my diet. The fruit is not allowed on Phase 1 of the SBD because of all the natural sugar but 6 little chicken nuggets were not going to fill me up so I figured eating a fruit cup was better than eating fries.

Anyway! After church, RJ and I always get the kids and take them over to the school building where Jen and Renee are doing AWANA. Well, our normal routine is that we run across the parking lot. Well, not really run but jog. Well because I had already completed my Plyometrics for the day, I could only run about half way before my legs started cramping up. I guess I got a really good workout in :-)

When I got to Jenny's house, that little kids meal of the dinner was no longer with me so I heated up a cheeseburger (previously grilled this week) minus the bun, put some mustard on it and had a few dill pickles. Yummy!!

Okay so real quick, has anyone ever drunk the Sparkling ICE drink?? My sister Jen started drinking this last month and oh my goodness! I love these! And there is like nothing to them. So I usually drink like one a day just to switch up the constant water.

Well, I think I have blogged enough for today so I think I am going to go grab a sugar free popsicle and snuggle up in bed to watch my favorite Wednesday night show, Revenge.

One day at a time...
