When I got on the scale this morning, I was down 2.5 pounds from Sunday morning! Woohoo! Go figure....staying on plan actually works!!!
Today was rough.....first day with no students, but so much paperwork to do before I can even think about getting my classroom ready for the summer! Started the morning with a bang.....had a MF bar, worked on report cards, getting ready to do all the comments, then BAM! We lost power. Which means no access to internet (which is how we get to our report cards), and no access to my files on my school drive. So, in the dark, I started cleaning up, throwing stuff away, and moving things that needed to be moved while I had a MF tropical punch.
Power was still off, but it was lunch time, so we all went to the cafeteria for a wonderful lunch provided for us by our PTSA! You should have seen the spread! Rolls, coldcuts of all kinds, macaroni salad, potato salad, veggies and dip, bags of chips, soda....it was wonderful! For dessert, they had cupcakes, cookies, and icecream. It all looked so good! What did I do? Well, I had some turkey, cheese, yellow mustard, celery, and carrots (I know those aren't on plan....but I only had a few). I did have a diet soda. I am really cutting down on the diet soda, but I thought the diet soda would make me feel like I was having a treat instead of suffering for not eating the rolls, chips, cupcakes and icecream! I do have to say, I felt really good about my choices! I made my lunch my Lean and Green Meal for the day, so I was able to participate in the lunch with everyone, but still stay on plan!
Finally the power came back on, so I hussled to get all my report cards done so I could get home. I took my kids to our local farmers market, and got strawberries for the kids and some green zucchini for me! The rest of my meals were MF pudding, pretzels, and another bar. I made oreo cookie ball pops in the shape of apples for my kids teachers (my own kids last day of school is Wednesday), and I was able to not eat one bite. Boy does that feel good!
I feel as though I am in control. I am really being aware of what I am eating and when I feel like taking a bite or taste of something, I don't, and each time I say no, it gets easier! All of these good choices this week will help me to be strong over the weekend....because let's face it, weekends can be hard, but I am going to stay in control!
Have a super day, and I'll see you tomorrow!!!
