Good News and Bad News.

 

 

Good News #1: I stuck to my eating plan for the days that I posted!!! No cheating AT ALL! How exciting!!

 

Bad News #1: Saturday and Sunday were eating disasters. Haha! On Saturday Josh and I slept in. For breakfast we had eggs, fried potatoes, sausage and blueberry muffins. Luckily since we had breakfast at around lunch time we didn't eat lunch but for dinner we went out with Josh's dad and brothers and Andrea. We went to an amazing mexican place at Bullard and West called Rosa Linda's. Yum!!! Every time we go somewhere that has tortilla chips and salsa I eat so much that it is grotesque! So I had tortilla chips and salsa (obviously), an enchilada, a taco and some beans and rice. When we got back to Josh's dad's house I had some peanut butter torte (ahhhh-mazing). I felt like I was going to explode.

 

I know what you're thinking....diet disaster?? That doesn't sound so bad! Well Sunday is where it gets U-G-L-Y. We got up early to go to church at 9 because we have pre-marital classes now during the time we normally go to church (10:40) and Josh's dad got donuts for breakfast. I ate a boston creme and decided I was going to stop. Then I proceeded to eat a little round blueberry type one and 2 donut holes. Ugh. For lunch we went to Elephant Bar. It started out innocent enough. Andrea and I split a french dip (which in total is only a little less than 600 cals which is pretty good for Elephant Bar). It was delicious. Then we ordered the dessert sampler. It includes....(wait for it)....a red velvet cupcake with cream cheese frosting, a wonton sunday with hot fudge, a delicious brownie with whip cream anddddddd a few scoops of ice cream with chocolate fudge. All of us shared this but I really feel like I took down most of it myself. I just couldn't stop!!! On Sunday evening Chris and Sarah hosted an Oscar party. We dressed up and headed over!!! Andrea and Justin came too. Well Sarah cooks things from Heaven. We had teryaki chicken on skewers, mini egg salad sandwiches, cinnamon popcorn (a true gift from God), caprese salad and truffles. Mint truffles, espresso truffles and cheesecake bites. I stopped counting how many of the cheesecake bites I ate!!

 

Good News #2: On Monday morning I weighed myself and I gained NO weight over the weekend. It was an absolute miracles. I still felt like a blob but no weight gain! Woohoo!!!

 

Bad News #2: I didn't work out all weekend. Friday-Sunday no working out happened. I still have this gosh darn cold and it was at it's worst over the weekend and I had no energy.

 

Good News #3: I'm back on the bandwagon!! Yesterday I didn't cheat eat at all. I ran 2 miles before I got horrible stupid PMS cramps too. Yay!

 

Bad News #3: I have a lot of catching up to do!!!! I'm embarrassed to say it but, including last night's run, I have so far completed 12 miles of the challenge. *Hangs head in shame*  We're going camping this weekend but this week I am going to catch up!! I'm going to run 3 miles tonight, 5 tomorrow (probably 3 in the morning before work and 2 in the evening) 3 on Thursday morning and 3 on Friday morning. That will put me at 16 miles for the week and 26 miles total. I am determined!!!

 

Good News #4: I have new motivation. The new Victoria's Secret swimsuit catalog came in the mail on Friday and there are about 5 swimsuits that I feel like are necessary to my life. So now I have to make sure they look good!!

 

Bad News #4: VS swimsuits are ridiculously expensive. Kill me. I'm going to have to order them a little at a time. A top here, a bottom there.....

 

Good News #5: Josh and I will be working on our 6 packs tonight!! I can't wait to get us back in that groove!!

 

I hope that your midterms week is going fabulously!!!!

 

Oh...

 

Good News #6: I have a renewed dedication to our blog!! I solemnly swear that I will not be as neglectful as I have been for this past week ever again!!!!
