Just for Me

My weight loss and fitness journey and whatever floats my boat!

2 NSVs for the day: 1. I signed up to play softball with some work peeps! 😬😳 2. This dress! Size small! (Don't judge me. It's too much work to take of shoes and pants when you don't need to 😆)

See the bubble floating up in the middle? I am still amazed at how long me and my husband were stuck on it. It was the sole remainder from a sink of dishes I was washing. We were talking in the kitchen then stopped mid sentence in awe of this bubble that wouldn't pop. We proceeded to play catch with it, sending it back and forth to each other by pushing the air. After about 10 minutes we realized our show was about to come on so we decided to try to guide the bubble out of the kitchen, through the dining room, through the hallway, and into the tv room. And we freaking did it! It never popped until we decided to let it go on to the big sink of suds in the sky. Sometimes you just gotta enjoy the simple things.

Today's spread for a coworker's farewell lunch. 260 White Castle sliders. 260! There are like 35 employees at my job so... yeah. I do like White Castle but not at 12:00 in the afternoon during work. More like 12:00 in the morning after drinking 😆. So I ate my regularly scheduled lunch and laughed at my coworkers whose stomachs started second guessing their decisions a few hours later lol. One guy was up to 18 sliders. Impressive!

Sooo sleepy and sooo tired but I managed to drag myself here to the gym for Zumba. We'll see how it goes. I do have on one of my favorite pairs leggings so that helps 🙂

St patty's day potluck at work today. I'm sitting here eating yogurt in the midst of 7 layer dip and chips, chocolate covered Oreos, deviled eggs, some kind of noodle dish, and countless other treats that are waiting to be revealed from the fridge. A coworker also brought chicken pot pie because I suggested it (it's really good) but I brought and already tracked my lunch to avoid all the temptation. But I feel kinda bad for not eating it since it was my idea. Just remember I don't have to eat stuff just because it's here, nor am I obligated to eat something to avoid making someone feel bad. I doubt they care that much lol.

So I tried these today and 😋. Also compared the nutrition to Famous Amos cookies and 😑. The only real difference is the added protein and you can eat 2 more cookies. Must be why they actually taste decent. But if I can eat chocolate chip cookies to help up my protein then 👍🏾.

And it's started. I thought I was safe this year but I should've known I wasn't. Sisters are back to cleansing and extreme dieting before our annual beach vacation. When I saw this today that old anxious feeling crept up in my stomach again but I quieted it by going back upstairs and grabbing my gym bag before leaving. It's still talking but I'm trying really hard not to hear it. Then I figured I would try to help her and see what she's actually doing. But I honestly don't know if she would receive it anyway. Because my approach isn't fast and it won't make you 'skinny' by April when we leave. But it HAS put me in a place where I don't need a quick fix to feel good about myself before a deadline every year. I'll just try to keep my head down and focus on myself so I don't get caught up.

After going to the dentist, work, and the grocery store, it's time to enjoy a couple tostadas and an episode of Worst Cooks in America. Mmmmmm

My valentine knows the way to my heart ❤️

NSV! I was craving pizza so I decided to make it myself, dough, sauce, and all! It wasn't the best but it wasn't the worst. I think I skimped too much on the cheese in an attempt to make it somewhat healthy. But I'm calling this a victory because a. I knew exactly what was in my food and going into my body; and b. I satisfied my craving without overdoing it.

I found my baton last night! So my evening was spent twirling around the living room like an old person trying to relive her high school glory days 😂. Still got it though. Not bad for being 20 years out the game 😏

Nope, the smoothie didn't cut it. Good thing I had some lemon ginger tuna and almonds on hand.

My job bought us smoothies today. I can't believe there are over 400 calories in this tiny cup! I can think of so many pieces of food I can chew for that amount lol. I'm trying to use this as my substitution for lunch so I hope it fills me up!

NSV!!

Omg I didn't even realize this until today! I have been craving Doritos for the past week or so but never acted on it. Yesterday I decided to have some and kill the craving. I bought a family size bag because that's the only size available in the flavor I wanted. Now - this is ALWAYS a bad idea for me because I ALWAYS end up eating the whole bag. Yesterday I budgeted for 3 oz (3 servings), poured them onto a plate, and saw that it was actually a good amount of chips. Then - and this is the kicker - I ate them. And no more. I even took the rest of the bag to work so the vultures would devour them! I guess actually seeing how much I'm eating instead of mindlessly chomping out of the bag is key to avoiding binges. This. Is. Major. So proud of myself! 😄😄
