Mexican Food Mambo

Yesterday I flew home for spring break! Spring break! Whoo!

Normally, airports are a time for gorging chocolate, bloody marys, and greasy food. But I did really good! A roast beef sub from subway with light mayo and baked chips. No alcohol. One plane snack instead of two. No chocolate. I was on a roll.

Then I got into my mom's car and she asked if I wanted to get mexican food. Why yes, I did want to get mexican food.

And I ate and ate and ate. Queso, guacamole, rice, enchiladas, tortillas, tortilla chips. Oh, it was glorious.

And I don't feel guilty at all. Spring break!

Free Pizza

Passing up free pizza for lunch? Possible, but not probable.

Boy those 2 slices messed up the rest of my day. I made it under goal, but it was uncomfortable.

I'm going home on Saturday for spring break. I hope people notice that I'm thinner. Everytime I go home someone always says that it looks like I've lost a few pounds, but it hasn't ever been true. I think they have a very distorted representation of me in their head. This time they'll probably say that it looks like I've gained a few pounds. Who knows?

Do the right thing

Distributing my calories more throughout the day just feels better. I'm less tired. I don't crave junkfood as much. It's easier to say no to the BF's french fries (or maybe just one bite of them) when I have my hunger completely under control.

I get nourished, instead of just fed. It feels good.

Spring Break Count Down...6 Days!

Woo Hoo Spring Break! IF I could flash you right now, I totally would. Oh man, I am so stressed about work and school. The idea of 8 days in my parents house with no responsibilities and eating their free food sounds so good. Plus I told my mom a few weeks ago that I am losing weight, and I think she'll be excited when she sees me. Enough other people have made comments about it now that I know it's slightly noticeable, and who knows me better than my mom? Plus, most of the people who made comments are my coworkers who are close to my mom's age, so there must be something about 50+ year-old women that gives them a sharper eye.

I have to get through this week...I have to get through this week...I have to get through this week. I will probably say that about a thousand times this week.

2 Month Healthiversary!

Wow...two months. Awesome.

I've been staying under my calorie goal, but the foods have slowly been getting junkier and junkier. A tiny bit of junkfood is much worse than a lot of healthy food OR a lot of junkfood. A tiny bit of food sucks.

I've also been bad about snacking throughout the day. I went to the grocery store today and stocked up on healthy food and snack food. The difference really is having food in the house. I have groceries, I eat them. I don't have groceries, I order a pizza. And eat two slices. Boo. This probably has a lot to do with why I've been more tired lately.

Work has been crazy crazy crazy this week. Stress levels are way up. Getting back to the basics of eating healthy will be a good thing for sure.
