It's been a while since I've updated but life has a funny way of just taking off. This is the first week since we've started this challenge back in March where there are no plans scheduled or anything going on that might deter me from my eating/working out. I've been really good at getting exercise in. Now that it's nicer out I'm going for walks at lunch and running after work before swim practice (did about 10 miles last week!) So now that things have "calmed down" I'm going to focus more on exercising and scheduling our meals and such. This weekend was awful. Jill and Miles graduated on Friday and Miles' mom bought a case of champagne to celebrate and between about 10 people we finished every single bottle. And of course there were snacks, cupcakes, etc... Then Saturday was Jill's celebration in Milford with my mom's peach sangria and cake/cupcakes and burgers/hot dogs. It's so sad when you look forward to Monday/the work week so you can get back into a routine. One victory today with eating is that I have a Skinny Taste 3 Bean Turkey Chili cooking in the slow cooker right now. Here is the link to the recipe I'm not sure how it'll come out, but I'll definitely report back tomorrow to let you know. And I should be set with lunch/dinner for the next few days too.
So that's my update. I've been fluctuating between gaining three pounds and maintaining my weight. But with my schedule finally allowing me to get into a good routine, I think we're looking up :)
Update here! The chili was so great and I'm so excited to have it for lunch today too. Typically I stay away from chili because of the beans and what not, but this was amazing. I added a dab of sour cream and a little bit of shredded cheddar cheese on top, so it's not as healthy as it should be. But I splurged just a little with this. Highly recommend to anyone.
ReplyDeletei hear you on the "getting back to normal" its hard b/c you dont want to not celebrate those things b/c you should have lots of champagne and sangria and cupcakes for your sisters graduation! and a 3 pound fluctuation is not bad!! hope this week went better!
