Coffee- 2 cups 1TBSP creamer, 2 sweetners, a dash of cinnamon
Breakfast- FAIL--- Nothing.... I was in a rush to get to the church picnic and because of poor planning I failed to leave myself enough time to eat.....
The church picnic was great and amazing and wonderful in many ways. I got to meet amazing people, have fellowship time with people I love, see children smile and laugh, and in general it was an awesome day.
I have a small curse.... I tend to be 'the helper' or 'the worker bee'. I usually like to stay busy and moving. I love to lend a hand and pitch it. For the most part it lends me no disadvantage. However... today.... it did....
I was busy trying to keep food moving and people served and well I didn't serve myself.... by the time it was time to eat.... there wasn't much real food left. Of course there was plenty of cake and cookies, but real food? not so much :( .... this is where the disaster happened....
I ate the following that I can remember:
1 small burger on a white bread bun with lettuce tomato and pickles, 3 bites of baked beans, 4 pieces of broccoli with ranch, 2 spoonfuls of pasta salad, 2 pieces of cake, 6-10 cookies, 2 brownies, something else but I don't remember what is was, and half of a sugar free mcd's iced coffee. ***huge sigh*** wow.... I didn't even eat any of my own fruit salad or jello.... I sucked.... epically. That was sad here is the worse part.... I'm still hungry.... I didn't eat that much real food.... AHHHHH!!!! Maybe I'll eat some fruit salad or some sugar free jello!
Now that I'm done throwing my pity party I'll tell you the highlight: I did not sit much! I was on my feet and moving the majority of the day. I'm sure I burned tons of calories so maybe that will help make up for it?
I learned a huge lesson today! Take time for self. I was so worried about everyone elses needs and everyone elses day that I worried least about my own! I could have easily been that person who sat back and ate good food and watch everyone else work, but that isn't who I am. I just need to realize that some where in the mix and chaos of assisting others I need to help myself!
Today is also my two month mark since I started this journey. In two months I've lost 16pounds, gained a new found respect for healthy living, learned to love exercise, built new relationship, and am forging new and healthier years for myself! I'm so blessed that Christ is working hard in my life to keep me on the right path!
My womens weight loss group is tomorrow...I'm supposed to be making cupcakes, but I don't see it happening...it might but I highly doubt it I'm exhausted.... They'll fogive me they're christians!
As always thank you for taking the time to read my blog today! I hope you had a blessed Lord's day!
XOXO
Well it sucks that you fell of the horse so hard today, but hopefully you got your fill of cake, cookies, and brownies, and you can move into the week motivated to be healthy!! :) Now you've just gotta avoid the ice cream and cake that work is providing this week! Good Luck! I need to resist it, too!
