Day 12...I Found My Will Power!

Dang it! I really wanted that pie! But did I eat it? Nope! And I love apple pie! That is my weakness, but I said no and just grabbed a glass of water instead. I think I found my will power. I didn't think that it existed. At least when it came to food. I also remembered the things people have written me and the word inspiration was put in my head again, so it wasn't worth it! And the comments on FB helped too. I love food so much. But I did end up eating out not once today but twice. So I think that is going to be what I will be working on next week is controlling eating out and when I do I need to make better choices. Sometimes I don;t think other people remember that I am trying to lose this weight and I hear hey go pick up some breakfast or lunch and hey I am never gonna pass up not cooking dinner. I love to cook but having a day or two off from the kitchen is kinda nice. But I need to learn to say no instead of running out the door. Or if I am going to go I need to learn to get the parfait instead of the chicken minis and a water instead of a sweet tea (ohhh I so love sweet tea). What are some ways that you eat smarter when going out. Or even what are your favorite things to order and at what restaurants. Believe me we eat at all of them. I would love some feed back because like I said we eat out a lot. With the business we are on the road a lot for lunch.

Since I have started working out I have noticed a lot of changes already and I know I am not up to 100% of what I know I can do. But I am feeling so much better! I have more energy to where I am not dragging if I wake up at 6:00 am. I am loving to exercise. I have put down the zumba game for right now because I really love the Biggest Loser game. It pushes me and is a lot more accurate than Zumba when it comes to the Wii. I am also a lot nicer (well except for today I have been a little moody today) and I think I might even have a little more patience. Also, since I have set up my new schedule everything flows so much better. I am able to focus on me first thing in the morning (as long as Cole doesn't wake up), then I get to focus on Cole and the kids when they get home, once John is here I cook dinner, and then after that John plays with Cole, kids are doing homework on in their rooms, and I clean the house. Finally, back to me time to end the day and wined down. How do I do that? I sit in bed and blog about my day. Even if you don't want to blog then keep a journal. I use to Journal before I found a love of blogging.

So here is what happened today:

Exercise: 50 crunches, 50 squats, and 50 leg lifts ( I never do them all at once I do 2 sets of 25)

Meals:
Breakfast: 3 chicken minis and 1/2 of a cinnamon cluster (540 calories)
Lunch: Salad (143 calories)
Dinner: Steak and rice w/a side salad I took 3 bites of (830 calories)
Total: 1513 Calories

Yup I went over again! By 28 calories! Ahhhhh!

Tomorrow I want to talk about some people in my life who I wish would wake up and get healthy (p.s. I will never name any ones names I am not gonna put someone on blast like that.)
