Keep moving

I believe my problem yesterday was 1. lack of exercise and 2. I ate too much after dinner.  Such is life :)   I must mow the yard today (that will burn some serious calories), do a lot of homework, and do some cooking.  This weekend will be another challenge; going to KI again on Friday and spending the weekend with my family and I will likely be eating out several times.  I will find out my level of dedication, I'm sure there will be a cheat or two but staying somewhat on track is important.

Also I will start posting my exercise to keep me accountable there... today will be mow day (it's stupid hot too)

Welp.. failure is a part of life.  My breakfasts have been spot on, not an ounce of cheat.  Saturday at the park (Kings Island) makes it hard...

1st we decide to get a souvenir cup because it's 10 bucks and we got free refills all day, and will get .99 refills throughout the season.  So there went no negative water (pop... Coke Zero).  From there we were hungry, I was getting a bit woozy like I really needed something of substance, we were going to head out to the car and eat our packed lunch but we passed a Subway and I said frick it.  So I had a 6" turkey breast on wheat, no cheese, lots of veggies... so I only cheated with bread on that meal.  After a little while, several rides, etc. we decided we needed a little break and some water.  We got water and I got a soft pretzel (boo but oh so yummy and I shared it with husband).  I was so wiped out by the time dinner came around that we decided fat kid food was needed, something with lots of carbs.  I had skyline chili (regular 4 way and coney), SO WORTH IT. NOM NOM NOM.  Sunday I ate well all day until husband said "I really want Subway again.."  I gave in, I got the same thing as I did Saturday and it was yummy and I didn't have to move lol.

So I was afraid to step on the scale today... 1.6 pounds gained.  Not terrible.

Back at it today, hoping to get about 8 pounds off this week.  Technically should be on day 6 but I'm going back to day 4. This is gonna get convoluted.

17 Day Diet - D3C1R1

So when I went to bed last night I was fairly confident that I would see little to no weight loss this morning when I woke up.  I felt this way because I ate a lot at dinner (even though it was all unlimited foods), I just felt very sated last night and to me that's just not diet. Welp....

I will continue to fill this in as much as I can... but I'm in for my first test. Tonight my husband and I are going to my parents house and Saturday we are going to Kings Island. O H N O!  I have a plan, and a cooler. I will be taking my own food, and I will do my absolute best to stick with it 100% but I will not derail regardless.

Welp... made it through the rest of today with no major slip ups.  I watched my husband eat my favorite Wendy's sammich while I deconstructed a plain ol' grilled chicken sandwich and ate only the chicken. Onward ho!

Determination Still Intact

I got creative in the kitchen to curb some of the cravings I am already experiencing.  I made mock fried rice with cauliflower; basically I tossed some cauliflower in the food processor, pulsed it until it turned into a rice like consistency.  I then took a tablespoon of olive oil and sautéed finely chopped onion for a minute or two, added in some finely diced garlic (the jar kind you keep in the fridge) and then my "rice".  I moved it around and messed with it for a couple minutes, then added some pepper and cajun seasoning, kept fussing with it for another several minutes until it was a texture and flavor I was happy with. YUM! For dinner I tossed 3-4 tomatoes in the food processor until it was basically a slightly chunky juice.  I tossed it in a pot, added some a dash of rosemary, oregano, salt, garlic and onion. I brought it all to a boil and then reduced heat and simmered for awhile.   From there I added the remaining (unfried) cauliflower rice and let it all simmer for awhile.  I went ahead and browned up a pound of ground turkey (added some onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder, and a quick small shake of cayenne), once it was all browned up nicely I tossed it in with the 'maters and "rice".  It's now all sitting in a pot on the stove (no heat) just waiting to be turned on a simmered for awhile before eating for dinner.  I probably added way more spices into these two things than I listed but I am a spice happy kinda girl and I never remember what all I put in to things.
