My blog should be named "Confessions of a Food Junkie"...ha.
Ok, so yesterday was not the best day. I was cruising and doing good until after church. I know the Devil is waiting for me to be bone tired and then he pounces, knowing that I'm hungry and have nothing at home to eat that won't take 20 min. to prepare. So, I confess...I had a whopper jr. last night. First time I've caved since last November to the fast food demons. But, oh my goodness, it was yummy. I've always loved Burger King's burgers. When I was playing softball in elementary school, it was the only time our family ever really ate fast food. We would always grab it on the way home from games. Ah...good memories. So anyways, here's what I ate the rest of the day.
BF-same as yesterday except no grapefruit
lunch-FF bean quesadilla w/green beans on the side, chocolate milk
snack-cheerios w/1% milk
dinner-burger and fries (yes, FRIES) then a handful of MnM's
My day yesterday was 2 steps forward and 1 leap back!

BF-2 pieces toast w/pnut butter and sugar free jelly
lunch-bean quesadilla w/lf sour cream and baked chips
snack-cinnamon toast w/3 small bread pieces (which I proceeded to almost burn), sweet tea
dinner-spinach/mushroom pizza, blueberry pie (yes...I know I said I would throw it out)
After getting some much needed advice from someone, I've realized that I have to add more fruits and veggies into my diet. I knew this but gosh...it's hard to do that! I also have to really decrease my breads. Tomorrow is a new day!

dinner-bbq baked chicken, rice w/veggies, sauteed broccoli in butter and garlic, bites of cookie dough (who can resist that? i'm convinced that cookie dough will be in heaven!)
Today I will throw out the pie. NO MORE PIE! Pie is seriously something I could make myself sick on. I'm not big on cookies (just the dough) or other sweety stuff, but I LOVE pie.
I worked out Friday and yesterday, plus have gone outside w/the girls whenever we can.

Voice of Truth
I've spoken before about the Casting Crown's song "Voice of Truth" and how it is one of my anthems right now during this weight loss mess. Well, God in His infinate grace and wisdom provided that song to me on the way to the gym. I think He wanted to let me know that even when it seems like my progress is like a snail (literally!), that He is the voice of truth. I will not fail w/His help. So I go on to the gym, pretty pumped up and I didn't have to stop the whole time in BodyCombat. In fact, I had more energy then I usually do. It was amazing. (I did have to stop toward the end thanks to the medicine I'm on making my stomach upset, but I made it through 90% class) Then I did Bodypump after that! Praise God!
What I'm trying to say to all of ya'll who have a hard time keeping positive, listen to God. He will show you the truth. He will help you defeat the enemy, which is BAD FOOD and NEGATIVE THOUGHTS and LAZINESS (aka Satan). When you feel like today you just don't feel like working out, or you just don't feel like eating something good for you (believe me, I have many of those days), listen to God. He will provide the energy and strength you need for whatever you want to do.

Ok...I need to be writing down what I eat and I've been lazy and not doing that. So, here I go...I'm going to ATTEMPT to do this. Usually on Mon, Wed, Fri mornings, I'm in a rush to get Amelia to school and myself and Rebekah to the gym so I can't sit here like I am now, with time to write it down. Anyways, hopefully I can do better.
What I ate on Monday, March 8th:
BF: Fried Egg, 2 pieces whole wheat toast w/2 tbsp pnut butter and honey, coffee w/Sun Crystals (awesome) and sugar free creamer
Lunch: Lime chips w/fat free beans, onions and cheese, 2 tbsp lf sour cream, glass of sweet tea
Dinner: 3 pieces cheese and mushroom pizza (Dominoes). I usually don't eat pizza but John got it on the way home and I'm sick, so it tasted muy yummy. I mix lf mayo and ketchup together as a dipping sauce. Ok...dinner was a wash but I behaved the rest of the day.
I didn't work out yesterday thanks to this lovely sinus infection/cough thing I have going on. Hopefully tomorrow will get back into the routine of things. I hate missing my workouts. You might think that is weird b/c a lot of you hate working out but I love it. I know I am losing weight b/c of my work outs and I need it.
