Cannot Change Yesterday...Only Today

Hey there!!

 I know..I know...it's been two longggg weeks since my last blog post and I'm sooooo sorry. I've been really busy so let me just start telling you what's been going on.

Starting with two weeks ago...I kept up with my T25 schedule and completed my workouts Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. I also walked a mile each of those days...so my week started out on track. 

Well...Thursday was the start of me not making time to workout and making excuses. I was getting the house ready for our visitors and just freaking out because my mommy was coming to town!! I just didn't feel like working out and couldn't focus on working out either!

Friday my mommy, step-dad, step-brother and two nephews came to visit us for Labor Day weekend! I honestly hate living 11 hours away from my family but it really makes me value the time that I do get to spend with them. They got to town around noon on Friday! The guys went fishing all afternoon while my mommy and the boys stayed at my house and hung out. They stayed with us at my house that night and the following day they decided they wanted to stay at the beach. So they ended up renting a "condo type thing" about an hour from my house in Atlantic Beach. Like I said before when my family is around I like to spend as much time with them as I can so the kiddos and I stayed there with them for 3 days (Saturday-Monday night). 

Saturday when we left my house for the beach...our AC unit went out so my poor hubby was at home in pain (he was having really bad back spasms) and sweating! 

Back to our time at the beach...it was honestly like a "mini vacation" which I think I really needed! Our walk to the beach took about 10 minutes and the walk to the pool took about 5 minutes. We walked everywhere and since I knew I wouldn't be working out while on "vacation" I took the long way to the beach or pool and I would take the stairs to our condo on the 3rd floor instead of using the elevator. I was sweating constantly and was carrying around Peyton (who isn't a little light baby anymore) everywhere I went. Chasing around two 3 year olds, a 1 1/2 year old and Peyton is no easy task...we all had our hands FULL!

I didn't pack a bathing suit and kinda wish I would have...but I'm still self-conscious about my body, stretch marks, cellulite...all that junk! So this is what I wore to the beach and just all around while we were there.

It was hot...and not I have some funny tan lines! I just saw this saying today and I couldn't agree with it more!

    

Well...we said our "see you laters" Monday night and headed home. When we got home our house was miserably hot! So we went out and purchased another (hubby had already bought one) window AC unit. We put one in the living room and one in the kitchen...let me just say living in these two rooms is not fun or comfortable! I have not worked out at all since we have been home from the beach...I got sick and just laid on our air mattress for two days! Then my babies got sick and are still trying to get over this dumb sickness.

My food intake has been horrible!! 

In the past two weeks I have eaten pizza, wings, chips, candy, muffins, buffalo chicken dip, pop tarts, fruit snacks...I can't think of everything but as you can see I wasn't being healthy AT ALL! I even drank a few sodas. I had some of my meals prepared but didn't bring them to the condo with us and honestly wanted a little "break" from my healthy meals. 

Today is my last "break day" and tomorrow I will be starting my healthy meals and workouts again. I did weigh myself today and there is no change from two weeks ago.

Today's weight...same as last weigh-in

I weighed myself Tuesday morning when I got home from the beach and if I remember correctly the scale said something like 227. Just goes to show that making poor food choices and not being very active really take a toll on your weight.

One More Thought...

If you are "craving" a certain food or drink why not have it!? Keep an eye on the serving size and cut it in half. If you try to stay away from the things that you really want eventually (unless you have extremely perfect self control and no cheat days) you will break down and might go overboard (like I did)!! Enjoy the yummy things in life! You deserve it every once in a while!

Losing it slowly...
