So today I was worried about b/c of volunteering with the horses and riding but I did GREAT!!!!!
For breakfast I had a protein drink with 1/2 a banana in it (yum yum) but by the time lunch came around I was starving! so I think I need to eat something else with the drink in the morning or eat a mid morning snack. For lunch I had another Chummus and salad sandwich and had the same for a snack a couple hours later b/c once again I was starving. I got home around 10:15pm and made myself Cauliflower Mac and Cheese (made up the recipe) I ate that with 1C of salad. I also had some juice for a snack later. I hit all my nutrition goals today except I am behind in protein by 2g (big deal! by the way I had a couple pieces of shredded cheese that I did not count so that probably makes up for the lack of 2g) I am supposed to eat between 1200-1550 calories and today I stayed low (1,237!) I'm so proud of myself. For excersize today I took a riding lesson, my instructor Olivia worked me hard and I feel GREAT! just wish my legs were stronger already (I'd taken along time off from riding so I'm just getting back into it!) My sleep goal which I did not write about is to be in bed by 11pm went out the window tonight b/c its already 12:41am but there is always tomorrow for that!
It really amazes me how much better I feel physically and mentally now that I'm taking care of myself again! I am very tired but that could be because of the hour ride and the time LOL so I'm signing off for now! Gnight everyone!

Starting Over and Starting Strong
OK so after all this starting and stopping (more stopping then starting) I'm starting all over. I am up to 169.6 weight wise which stinks :( but I'm off to a GREAT start.
I had a really great day: For breakfast I had 2 egg whites (My mother who is learning about eating healthy said that egg yolks contain lots of fat and I'm trying to keep my fat content to 30% of my diet) 1/2 C cottage cheese, once slice of whole grain bread, and half a red pepper. The best part about breakfast was that the kids ate better! I put the 2 egg yolks in with the kids eggs b/c they need the extra fat!
After I put the kids down for their naps I did a 10min cardio kickboxing video on spark ppl.
For lunch I had a Chumus sandwhich with 2 slices of whole grain bread, 1/2 Cup of salad and 2Tablespoons of chummus. Although I was worried about what it would taste like I actually really enjoyed it!
After the kids ate lunch I took them to the park, Amazing Kids Way, which is alittle over a mile from my house each direction. I walked a slow mile (25min there 35min back) but I'm very pleased with myself and the kids had a blast
Dinner was not as healthy but I did stay within my calorie, fat, carb and protien goals for the day. I made chicken and ate 3 thighs! also 1C brown rice and gravy from the chicken aswell as veggies that cooked under the chicken. Dinner needs some work but all in all I'm very proud of myself!
For snack I had 1 apple and 1 cup of berry juice!
Tomorrow should be good, Avi picked up my protein mix from the store so I'm having a protein shake for breakfast with bananas YUMMY!
Lunch I'll prob have the same as today it was soooo good. I'll need to figure out a snack though to take to the barn with me I GET TO GO HORSEBACK RIDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No idea what I'll have for dinner probably Mac and Cheese since I'll be home so late :( I know its a terrible dinner but whats a girl to do?
I am not being realistic with my weight loss goals b/c I really want to see 3-5pounds gone by the end of the week but I realize that would not be healthy so if I loose 2 I'll be thrilled. I guess at the rate of 1-2 pounds a week it will take along time to reach my goals but at least I'll be more healthy right?
