Walk Away The Pounds.........

I got up this morning put on my yoga pants socks, sneakers, loose fitting shirt and then I sat in front of the computer and procrastinated.......
I did not want to work out one bit. I was actually dreading it and starting to think I would just skip today......then I walked into the kitchen and saw this....

I had no idea how simply writing this on my little chalkboard would impact me or be such a great reminder to make good choices. If I were to cheat on my diet or skip exercises it now doesn't just affect me negatively in health sense, but now also financially.....if I cheat or skip I am literally losing money that is for the mission trip!!

So......I walked back into the living room searched  "Walk Away The Pounds" on Youtube. I did a 2 mile walk and it was pretty great! I was sweating , short of breath at the high points, but when it was done I felt great!! 

Looking forward to tomorrows work out......okay, that's not true, but one day it will be. One day I will crave to exercise instead of crave to eat.

Which brings me to the eating portion of my day
Breakfast:
1 toast with peanut butter
1 greek yogurt
1 small Granny Smith apple( only kind of apple I like and it has to be ice cold from the fridge......lol)
1 coffee( 1c 1s)

Lunch:

cucumber slices
baby carrots ( raw)
2 celery stalks ( gross and bitter, worse celery I ever had :p )
Humus
Guacamole
12 special k chip cracker things
1coffee ( 1c 1 s)





I was starving by supper.......
My fb friends were so right when they said I needed proteins.( so I did add a greek yogurt but it didn't really hold me over )

snack:1 no bake energy bite


Supper:
1/2 c rice
2 hard boiled eggs
serving spoon of corn
serving spoon of green beans
no bake energy bite

Lg Americano this evening ( thanks Aralee :) )

Okay, so typically I would have had snacks all day, carbs, carbs, carbs....So I am proud of myself. I feel hungry, but I will have a little something before bed, maybe a small bowl of granola or a few special K cracker things ( they have 1/2 the calories of chips!)

Thanks for the great tips, diet plans and words of encouragement that you all are sending me
And a Special Thank you for those who believe in this mission trip and are able to sponsor me, it means so much !

Highlight of my day......seeing my oldest daughter !! She was on her way back from crusades in NS so they stopped in Salisbury at the Big Stop.
Here is a great strategy that worked for me, I ate my lunch before I went , had a coffee there. Not even a fry of Briana's plate, I am now patting myself on the back...lol

 My first born.... <3 Miss her so much!
I love to laugh, I needed to laugh today....laughter really is the best medicine!
So thankful for these blessings, that I call my own !
