Where Have I Been?!?!?!

Eeeeek - I've fallen off the bloggin' wagon!

Let's list excuses:
1) We just got back from Cozumel...6 day trip, all inclusive.  Has me a little fearful of the scale but we'll get to that in a bit.
2) RIGHT before Cozumel we celebrated AbbDabs 1st birthday, whew...
3) Thinking I had a stress fracture in my foot, couldnt do a whole lot of exercising.

So now what...
Here I am.  Back at it.  Determined to get a body that can wear that bikini next time we're in Mexico.  With Ethan's full support I know it can happen too.  Also have that Half Marathon looming over my head. Eeek.  I did go for a mile run last night with no foot problems so hopefully it's back in full action.

So here's the plan:
1: Starting up running again.  E got me a Garmin Forerunner (woohoo) although I reallly need to read up on all the crazy stuff it does.  Ran with it last night and I'm also thinking that getting new running goodies definitely makes running more enjoyable. I was excited to get out and run.
2:  Working Out.  I found out about Bikini Body Mommy last month and just haven't done much with it.  Last night I decided to do the 90 day challenge and started the fit test, but had to stop it so I'll start that up tonight and begin the 90 day challenge!  By October there should be significant difference.  Hoping to stay on track with it....SOMEONE keep me in check. I'll post my fit test results tomorrow...
3:  Weighing in...this one is iffy.  Daily weigh-ins frustrate me but I feel I need them to help me stay in line.

Until Then.....

Wednesday Weigh-In

Well...I knew it was gonna be bad, and it was. I KNOW it takes hard work and I need that discipline again to make the right choices.

So here's the dreaded scale pic.

I think the most upsetting part is last Thursday it said 196.  Five freaking pounds. FIVE!!!!!  It also hurts that it starts with a 2.  I said good bye to the 200s. I thought.

I know last weekend did a number on me (five numbers) but this wknd will be tough too.  Tomorrow is our anniversary and we'll be at Silver Dollar City...I've GOT to make healthy choices and load up on water.  Then Saturday we are celebrating which will mean dinner. I WILL make good choices. Maybe I need to start posting my MFP daily food journal here too.  Who knows..I just gotta do it. 

  I also haven't worked out since Thursday last week. Ugh.   With a new month maybe its time for another sticker calendar and goal setting.  Tomorrow I will definitely work on monthly goals and have those posted here. 

Until then,

Weekend Recap

Well...nothing too exciting or positive to post here today. Ideally I planned on posting a weekend recap on Monday but it was a holiday still (Memorial Day) so technically it didn't count as a Monday, haha.

This weekend ruined my work from this past week.  HUGE disappointment although not shocked.  I last weighed-in on Friday at 197.   When I weighed-in on Monday it said 200.7. HUGE disappointment.
But I ate like crap...all weekend.  And I mean CRAP. And I mean ALL weekend.

We drove back to the farm on Saturday. I had full intentions of being mindful and trying to do my best.   FAIL.   For lunch at mom's we had homemade sub sammiches.  Not a huge problem and I thought I could handle myself with that...and I did.  But then she brought out some butter pecan cookies.  *read: HUGE downfall*  Those suckers were yummy.  I ate too many -not sure how many, at least 8 I would think.  Either way, too many.  And then there was dinner.   Id on't know where I went wrong -- we had grilled hamburgers. I had some potato salad, BLT pasta, deviled eggs and a Blue Moon.  So it wasn't horrible (although I had 5 deviled eggs) but it wasn't moderate portions either.

Then Sunday we we had breakfast at the farm before heading to Ethan's family. Mom made B&G with sausage.  I actually didn't eat that much - just wasn't what I wanted I guess.  At his family's we had rotisserie chicken, pasta, and corn on the cob.  Again - nothing horrible.

So I guess I can't blame this weekend on the food. I know I haven't exercised in a while either...last week I worked out twice and was seeing a loss. And once I stopped so did the weigh loss. Coincidence? Doubtful. I also was tracking on MFP and losing. Stop tracking ... stop losing. Coincidence? Hardly.

Verdict?  Time to get back on MFP and the treadmill/road.   Here's to a "normal" day tomorrow.  Whatcha got for me Wednesday?
