I forgot to mention, in the excitement over posting about my Mothers Day gift, that in this week’s weigh-in I was at 198. I had gotten as low as 197 this past week, but with eating out two meals on Mothers Day, I went over my calorie goal by 200 and even though I managed to consume only 1640 calories yesterday, most of them weren’t the healthiest.
I did well at Perkins for breakfast. I had 410 calories that consisted of a border chicken egg beaters omelet with onions, peppers and southwest sauce. It came with wheat toast and a small cup of fresh fruit. I dined there with my husband, kids, and mother-in-law.
My siblings wanted to order pizza in for my mom at her place so we went there for lunch. I managed to limit myself to one slice of Meat Lovers pizza and one stick of garlic bread. However, my sister had picked up a Dairy Queen ice cream cake for dessert. It was too good to pass up, and although I had the smallest sliver I could possibly cut, and then shared it with my toddler, the lunch was about 1000 calories, leaving me only about 200 for a salad and a side of zucchini for dinner.
I think I did ok. It could have been a lot worse. Before last August, I could have put away three pieces of pizza, two or three sticks of garlic bread and a thick wedge of ice cream cake no problem!

I LOVE THIS POST as it is exactly what I would say to clients when I was a personal trainer.
“what would you have done before you started this healthy living journey?” (what you say about before August)
99% of the time no matter what they did it was far far better and still a VICTORY!
