Day 5

Ok, last nite was a HUGE challenge. We had cheer practice, and this is the 4th day in a row we haven't been home after I got off work. That wares on me AND the kids. We went to cheer & on the way home my migraine started (I'm sure it's this lovely Ohio weather - 50 one day, below 0 the next!), so we stopped at Mickey D's. ( know not the best choice, but I did NOT feel like walking into Subway and waiting 20 minutes for them to fix ALL of our sandwiches). I learned a trick from some other diet sites about what to eat when your out and don't really have much of choice.  I chose HAMBURGERS! Plain yet yummy Mickey D burgers. 1 has 250 calories. I had skipped lunch again at work (busy busy selling bee!), so I opted for THREE of them. Yes 750 calories, but I was starving by then, so I ate them up ..,and some popcorn. BUT I resisted the urge to grab a soda, or an ice cream so I am still pretty proud of myself. It also helped that my little health nut 7 yr old said "hey Mom, did you remember to take picture of your dinner for your challenge?" or hey mom, I'm going to have water with you". She also is a drill Sargent and works out with me sometimes, I swear she could be the next Jillian!
Started my work out, and couldn't do it. So I got the kids all ready for bed, and headed there myself. Now I know there are going to be days like this. My will, my energy, , everything was low last nite. But I congratulated myself on choosing wiser options instead of just giving up completely. (which could of been VERY easy).
I woke up with a new outlook, and took my meds so I wouldn't get another headache, and started w/my bottle of water. With the snow and everything the insurance business gets busy, so I skipped breakfast, and ordered a salad w/chicken for lunch. The chicken was crispy, so I took the skin off (or just took the big hunk of crispy skin with NO chicken in it out - I mean really?) anyway, I skipped the ROLLS and that was a feat in itself and excused myself with my Crystal Lite.
I will do 5 circuits of work outs 2nite since I missed 2 last nite.., I may only manage 4, depending on how sore I get, but I can always add another to Sat. I have my Mamavation Boot Camp interview 2nite as well, and I am excited AND nervous.
I'm also glad it's the weekend so I can finally get to the grocery and finish up my laundry and start next week organized and READY TO GO!
I'm hoping for another 8 lbs loss - I think this whole soda thing was a BIG part of it.

I may not check in this weekend- depends on the kids & how everything goes - but if not I'll see you all Monday! =) Have a great one!
