Changing Momentum

I was rocking the no snacking challenge last week. ROCKING IT! Every day got easier than the last. I was feeling good. I had momentum on my side.

Then Saturday came with 2 birthday parties.

The pizza. The cake. The ice cream. The chicken nuggets. The cupcakes.

Yes in that order and yes, cupcakeS.

I ended up Saturday night at midnight with a box of Triscuits by my side watching TV with the husband.

Sunday wasn’t as bad but the Doritos got me and I had a cupcake before bed for no real good reason at all. *sigh*

Yesterday was a grill fest of wings and more ice cream than I’d like to admit eating. Let’s just say one should never grab a gallon, a spoon and sit on the couch.

Ever.

ugh.

I’m not mad at myself and I don’t feel guilty. I’m just confused.

WHY do I eat like that when it makes me feel so icky?

Yes, icky. That’s about the only word I can use to describe the bloated, sluggish, slightly nauseous feeling I have when I over eat crap.

Crap!

This morning I decided to push the momentum pendulum back in a direction I can feel good about. It all started with breakfast….

Don’t ask what the baby is doing. I have no idea. He just randomly decided to throw a touch down signal for no apparent reason at all. lol

Anyway, breakfast was a 2 egg omelet with bacon bits and spinach.

Then the husband asked to go out lunch.

NOOOOOO.

Why does he do that? It’s like he KNOWS! But he doesn’t so I said yes.

I could do this! And I did! Hence my note to self mid-day and this salad.

This afternoon I made a quick snack on celery sticks which served 2 purposes…

1.) I was hungry and 2.) I’m working on a post for The Laughing Cow and am experimenting with a few ideas.

Dinner was HUGE. Just look at it..

That’s my last Salmon Burger from the freezer, leftover corn on the cob, roasted broccoli, a sweet potato, and a salad.

I ended my day with, yup, you guessed it Banana Soft Serve!

Consider my momentum changed.

I’m ready to tackle tomorrow.

Good Night!

January Podcast: Changing Diets, Organics, Snack Attack Advice, Body Image, Finding Time

It’s a new year and I’m setting a new Podcast Schedule! I realize they’ve been few and far between this past year and I’m sorry. Blame the baby. It’s his fault. ;)

My goal for 2012 is one podcast a month. I think it’s realistic and I don’t want to make any promises I can’t keep. That being said the podcasts themselves will be longer. I thought it would be hard to talk that long but apparently I’m a chatterbox. I think you already knew that.

Topics include…

Making the switch from Medifast to Weight WatchersWeight Watchers online, face-to-face or on my own?My take on organic foods, CSA, produce picks. Tips for college student living abroad. Advice for fellow snackers. Body image stuff <- the question that makes me cry. ugh. How did I get started? My motivated and how I find the time.

Links mentioned…

No interest in watching an hour video? Here’s a few other my other recent posts elsewhere….
