So taking the oatmeal and packing lots of snacks helped a ton! I felt much better on this trip!! I turned down donuts and bags of candy, which made me feel good!!

Tuesday
Breakfast: 2 poached eggs w/salsa on an english muffin
Snack: Oatmeal
Lunch: Soup w/crackers, apple w/cheese
Snack: pineapple & cottage cheese
Dinner: Mexican Casserole
Snack: Greek Strawberry yogurt
Activity: Zumba
Heard back from the doctor yesterday and all my results came back normal so I guess I'll just start taking birth control again to regulate all my hormones and I should be fine.
I'm feeling really good about this week. I've been sticking to my workout schedule and my menu. I think I'll be able to only eat out once this week so everything is really back on track.
I read a pin yesterday that said weight is not the ultimate goal and it showed a girl at 127 pounds and then at 136 pounds and she looked so much better at 136 pounds. This again reminds me of why I quit Weight Watchers in the first place. Yes, it holds me accountable but I'm not sure I believe in the ultimate goal anymore. When I workout and eat right I feel so much better and start to not care about the scale because I know I'm doing something good for me. I think I'll try it on my own for November and see if I can keep up the mindset.

Sunday
Breakfast: Apple w/laughing cow
Lunch: Interurban veggie plate w/only half of the honey mustard and no bread
Snack: 1/2 c. cottage cheese w/pineapple
Dinner: Rest of spaghetti squash w/kale mixture & poached egg
Activity: Gym time - 1:08 on elliptical (Average hr = 159, peak = 175) burned 706 calories. 6.06 miles
To Do List:
1. Clean kitchen
2. Clean kitchen floor
3. Grocery shop/Meal plan for week
4. New workout clothes
I think this may be the first time I have crossed off everything on my to-do list. Feeling really great about this week. I made a workout schedule last week for the whole month and I've made my menu with two new recipes on it for this week. I'm excited to get back to being super healthy. I'm also going to join Weight Watchers tomorrow. I'm just trying to decide when the best time to go to a meeting will be.
PS I also went to the doctor on Wednesday. She did blood work to check my hormone and thyroid levels so hopefully I'll be hearing back from her tomorrow. I got my pap results back on Friday and everything was fine so I'm interested to see what the hormone levels say.

Sunday
Breakfast: acorn squash with butter, 4 slices turkey bacon, iced coffee
Lunch: low carb chicken quesadilla, sour cream, acorn squash
Dinner: pulled pork on a thin bun, baked cauliflower, pickle
Snack: sugar free cherry pie filling
So I reeeeeeally need togo get groceries, haha. No idea what I'm gonna have for lunch or dinner.
I've been kind of pouty about food lately. With these interviews, I'm really not sure how it is going to be possible to as healthy as I'd like because they are the ones that provide the food. I suppose I could pretend to have a gluten intolerance? Last week was awful and my stomach still hurts from all of the crap I ate (donuts, cookies, a goodie bag full of candy, pizza, bagels, Dr. Pepper). Hopefully this coming week will be better. I need to make a good effort to at least try to pick good foods. Airports and hotels are really difficult to find healthy food in.
I went and got some sugar free instant oatmeal, some almonds, and some thin buns. I made up some trail-mix with the almonds and some sugar free chocolate chips and fiber-one cereal. I'm also going to make a couple of peanut butter sandwiches on the thin buns. That should help me avoid all of the sweets on this trip. I'm going to try really, really hard to track on this trip. I leave for Kentucky tomorrow and get back on Tuesday, so hopefully I can keep it up for two days.
