It is Wednesday, and I took a break from blogging as the weekend hit, which brought on Super Bowl day! I personally am not a football fan, but who can't get into the hype of winning, and winning, and winning, and then WINNING!!!
Saturday my husband and I spent the day (and night) shopping. We needed to get some foods for the Super Bowl party. I did really well all day, but the fact that we were out all day led to the fact that I did not eat. I had my juice, but no veggies and protein as planned. I suggested a Mexican restaurant. I figured that there was my best bet of getting something with veggies and meat and at a reasonable price. I chose a burrito with shrimp, steak, and veggies like peppers and onions. It was awesome. I only ate half of the burrito, and half of the papas they offered me. Stephen very willingly ate the remainder, which I relished for then I did not have to stare at it and hear it call my name. So, I did well! Pat on my back.
Sunday, however, I took as my "day off" which is allowed on the Challenge. I started the day with eating Swedish fish. Somehow I managed to make myself believe that it was like eating Norwegian salmon. I had chocolate poptarts (2) and when I went to the Super Bowl party at my sister's.... well, I ate some of the snacks, a portion of lasagna, lots of the salad, bread, and red velvet cake. I enjoyed every morsel that entered my mouth.
On Monday, I started again with only juice. So, today I am at veggies. I plan to go downstairs after my shower and indulge myself in the left over salad I brought home from the Super Bowl. That along side a hot cup of veggie soup... wash it down with some apple juice, I'll be all good.
I really am focused on finishing out this weight loss. The parties are over, now that we're in the dead of winter - no holidays, no more parties.... just a few dog shows coming up. I can manage those, no problem. For I know I need this to happen. My life was in a rut, and I am shoveling my way out. Slow but sure goes the turtle.... but as we all can remember - the turtle wins in the end
