yesterday was not so far away

okay dork alert
couldn't resist the title
feeling better this morning, more like myself

and yesterday's food I YouTubed 
macros were good yesterday

I didn't eat my last meal and instead had 3 of the Isa snacks .... yeah not such a great choice of food but I love them and I got a delivery

so today I will eat that meal from yesterday

I liked the ease of youtubeing
is that even a word? YouTubeing?
or is it YouTube-ing?
so any whoodle
weight is back to normal this morning

and I am feeling so much better, spent some time reading this morning. I cannot tell you the difference 20 minutes of morning reading has for my mindset.... like night and day

so today is a pure dee cardio day

treadmill, stairs, bike, jump rope to a goal of each, then as many rounds as I can do in an hour

hey this accountability thing a ma bob is working for me
I'll YouTube my food today
Trying to stay off Facebook ... couldn't even say why... not even sure myself

have a Great Day
tootles ma noodles

Day 1

Yesterday was a mega family day 

so so fun and sweet to be with the .... well most of the family 😄

I love my family

love family get togethers 

what a better day than to celebrate the Dads 

Onto food accountability 

Good, better  

not GREAT but good

 

this will now be the creamer of choice from now on 

zero sugar 

actually Whole 30 approved  

6 scrambled egg whites 

1/4 dry measure oatmeal 

and 1T of almond butter 

weird but I have always put sweetener in this ... didn't know what to do 

I actually LIKED the almond butter 

I will for sure do this again

ordered a coffee at Starbucks

just some half and half 

but I only drank like a third of it 

threw the rest out  

shake 

1 cup unsweetened almond milk 

ice and water 

yum 

might be time to invest in a new Ninja blender cap  

I ate some chips 

not tons but I did have some 

but I PASSED on the donuts

and I didn't have ANY Bundt cake 

so this was a mega win

salad 

with chicken 

a tiny bit of baked beans and grilled onions 

and seconds  

instead of the sweets I had the fruit 

which just had some cinnamon 

no sweetener of any kind  

these I munched on 😣

and the last snack was a Whey thin 

100 calorie 

so I was OVER budget 

budget is 1530 

today was 1757

weight was down half a pound

Hello old Friend

hey old friend 

I haven't been here much 

Facebook and Instagram has truthfully been my social media of choice 

but things aren't going well 

the binge monster is back 

so here I am 

no silly gips this morning just some truth 

struggling 

like BIG time 

so though some reaching out to some folks that have found sustained success this is the plan 

• continue my accountability with my coach ... tomorrow is weigh and measure day and scale picture day .... ish 
• stop ALL forms of artificial sweetener
• pictures of food here 
• daily weight to my coach 
• continue with my workouts (which I LOVE LOVE LOVE) per usual

so these are my thoughts... 

artificial sweeteners I am thinking are a huge trigger for me, when I do go off the rails it is ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS with sugar 

so yesterday I was just purging 

 seems like I consume way more artificial sweeteners than I thought.... today I got up and I am having my coffee (which I incidentally took a picture of for tomorrow's blog post)  with a new no artificial sweetener coffee cream ... I know it is Fathers Day and EVERYONE seems to start things on a Monday but that to me is silly

morning the scale was up
my goal is to lose 10 pounds...
NOW some may read this and say "you crazy girl" but this is me and I KNOW I can do this 

so I am kinda, sorta expecting this to be a LOT harder than I thought, because yesterday was like TOUGH!! truthfully since I had some crazy notion NOT to eat (so dumb) so I wasn't prepared and had a less than stellar food day 

not a full out bread and butter binge but just NOT a great food day 

now I am primarily on Facebook but I 

wow here comes more truth .... 

feeling the need this morning to be transparent 

I use Isagenix and love love love my shakes but I am no longer going to be a shake pusher... nah not for me. I am someone who loves my shakes but this whole signing people up thing isn't for me ... If you ask, fine.. but I am not going to push or bring it up again 

I love the Isagenix products, love the culture, love the events .. I am a grocery store manager 

that's what I do 

I manager a big box retailer (and for the most part love my job) 

I will never be some Isagenix gazillionaire 

ain't in me 

so here we go 

accountability blog now 

food pictures, daily weight, daily posts, and the biggie 

NO ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS 

and no selling either 

this is just me 

kinda screwed up right now 

and I need some help 

so I am using this as my plattform 

most of mah peeps won't come here unless I tag my Facebook 

so it's also kind of a anonymous place still for me 

wow that was a lot this morning 

thank you cyberspace, invisible people for your support 

love, peace and chicken grease

post Memorial day

Memorial day hi Jinx

Isa pancake 

mashed strawberries 

I was serious when I kept yammering on about wanting to eat more fish 

so good 

busy on my day off 

hard boiling eggs 

minced onions, red pepper and a tiny bit of jalapeno 

for the fish 

quick spray on the fish 

and for the veggies 

spiralized butternut squash 

asparagus 

brussel sprouts 

45 minutes at 350

fish baked 20 minutes at 350

so so filling and yummy 

and the day was a win 

calories below target 

got a work out in 

and finished my 3 liters of water 

tootles noodles 

oops super long blog post

Yes I am still here 

this poor neglected blog is sad 

other forms of social media are so much easier than blogging 

most of my time is spent over on Facebook 

Talking about my Stitch Fix box

and making an Isa pancake 

Isa pancake

➡️ Spoon pancake mix 

➡️ Spoon of vanilla IsaLean 

➡️ 3 egg whites
