Oh STAAR test...you messed up my day-Day 2

Weight: 166.2

 I started off with all of the normal stuff: water, Spark, Probiotic pills, fiber drink.  On my way to work I stopped at McDonald's for our free teacher breakfast for the STAAR test.  I knew I wasn't going to eat it.  I really wanted the apple slices though.  I went in got my free breakfast and continued on to work.  I gave my Egg McMuffin and apple juice away and had my Meal Replacement shake.  Everything was going fine. 

7:50-Breakfast:Chocolate Mint Brownie Shake

9:15-Nature Grain Breakfast blueberry biscuits.

  

These little guys are 230 calories for the whole package.  Not a good choice for a snack.  The test started stressing me out.  I ate it all.  

9:45 1 mini Butterfinger.  What is wrong with me?  I did it without thinking.  

10:45- 1/4 cup of raspberries.  There is one good choice for the day.

11:45- Chicken, sweet potatoes, broccoli and cauliflower mix.  I also had a few of my strawberries.  

12:10-I went to the STAAR spa that is hosted by the Kindergarten team.  I had a few carrots and 5 chips with dip.  I bypassed the cake, but ohhh the dip.  

12:45- 2 bites of BBQ(I told you my day was messed up)

4:00-the rest of my strawberries

6:30-spinach salad with chicken and raspberry vinaigrette.

7:30- 2 bites of ice cream and one bite of Reese's peanut butter cup(I threw the rest away...it hurt)

 I MESSED UP TODAY!  It is kind of embarrassing to write this all down, but I am.  I am using this blog to help others (not that today was helpful) but to also help myself.  I am trying to get out of the mind set that if I mess up once in the day that the whole day is ruined and I can eat what I want.  I am working on it.  I did better today than I have in the past.  

I have one more day of STAAR testing.  I am using it to prove to myself that I can do this. I don't have to let stress and other factors of life rule my diet.  The day is over.  Tomorrow is a new start.  I will own tomorrow!

So it begins...One month of marriage and day 1 of the cleanse

So, one month ago today I married my best friend!  It was along time coming but it finally happened.  We got hitched!




One month later I have decided to start the Advocare cleanse.  I almost waited and started tomorrow because he wanted to go out to celebrate making it a month!  LOL!  But I didn't postpone it.  I started today.  There will always be celebrations and get togethers. I am choosing to start the cleanse today and if we go out tonight or go to a movie I will make wise choices.  If we go to the movies I might sneak some fruit in.  I will be the first to admit that I will "cheat" (on food, not my husband).  I know I will.  But as long as I have that meal and then get back on track I will be ok.  So happy one month anniversary to us!



Advocare Cleanse
First weigh in 168.2
Pant size 14

Eating
Day 1
6:20-AM packet of pills

6:45-Fiber drink(soooo much better than before.  It has no flavor, it doesn't thicken, and is not gritty)

7:50-Apple; In the past the fiber drink has made me so full that I didn't eat a lot for breakfast.  I will be changing that tomorrow.  I got pretty hungry around 9:15.

9:30-1/4 Cup of nuts

11:30-chicken, broccoli and cauliflower, sweet potatoes and strawberries

2:30-Apple

Here is where it could have gone south, quickly.

My sweet husband wanted to go out for our 1 month anniversary.  He decided to take me to the Cheesecake Factory and then to see The Fast and the Furious 7.  ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I was fairly good.

6:00-1 Chicken Samosa-DELICIOUS!  I could have eaten all four of them and then some.
         Chicken BBQ Salad.  The only truly bad thing on there was the ranch.  Everything else was in check.  I did have the ranch on the side so I ate way less, but over all I was proud of my choices so far........
and then there was the dreaded question.  Did you save room for dessert?  Well of course I had room...I just had a salad.  But, believe it or not we did not have any cheesecake. Epic moment!

I still had one more hurdle....POPCORN...from the movie theater....with butter.  I DID IT!  I didn't get anything.  No butter, no popcorn...nothing!

10:20 Herbal pill.

It was a great day!  I drank my water and then some.  I had some self-control and I got to spend the evening with my husband!  One to day two...

Leave me a message for tips or encouragement or just to tell me to shut up!  Have a great day!
