Okay let me just put it out there. I don't even want to talk about my food intake today. It was beyond horrible. I'd like to say that the few days of low eating prior to today added up and I just lost it, but truthfully I'm not sure what happened. The boys and I went to our local Sprouts and there was a basket of clearance bakery goods. Why oh why didn't I pass up that terrible basket?! Instead we bought a loaf of cheese foccacia. We brought it home and I at almost 3/4 of it. It was a big loaf. Like 8 inches round. UGH!! I felt sick afterwards.
I determined to move on from there and went to the gym. I did my first day of Week 2 of Couch to 5k. It actually went pretty well. My stomach bothered me (not suprisingly considering the crap I had put in my body just a couple of hours before) and about half way through I needed to pee sooooo bad. This happens everytime I run. Why don't I go before I start? For crying out loud. You'd think I'd learn. I did 1.89 miles in 30 minutes. It was my longest run and I was pretty happy about it. Looking forward to see how it goes from here.
I did manage to get in 92 ounces of water. At least that was good.
Tomorrow is another day and I plan to do better. I will do better. There's no more foccacia in the house : )

Food and Exercise Log 10
Hmmmm....one day I'll get this all right. Really.One.Day.I.Will.
Morning number 10 started out with coffee with unsweetened organic vanilla almond milk, then fresh squeezed orange and grapefruit juice and one whole egg and two egg whites over fresh spinach with fresh pico de galo. It was all yummy.
Then came lunch and I had my standard favorite, Ezekiel small sprouted tortilla spread with Laughing Cow Light Swiss Cheese topped with fresh spinach, fresh spring mix lettuces and 2 oz of smoked salmon. I also had a side of fresh strawberries and blueberries. I love this lunch and I could eat it almost everyday.
Here is where things got bad. In the early afternoon I started feeling sick to my stomach, then my head started hurting. Quickly I was overcome with a full blown migraine. I ended up not eating thing the rest of the night and I never was able to workout.
I went to bed pretty bummed out, but sometimes life takes over and there's not much you can do.

Food and Exercise Log 9
Man, this morning I woke up soooo thirsty. I've never been so thirsty. I'm guessing it was from the pizza I ate last night. I'm sure it was totally salt laden. I drank 100 ounces of water before 4pm. I'm telling you I was seriously thirsty! So far I've had 124 ounces of water, and I'm still thirsty. It's crazy!
Today I woke up and I really wasn't hungry. So I just drank a ton of water. When lunch rolled around I had a small Ezekiel sprouted tortilla with Laughing Cow Light Swiss Cheese topped with Spinach, Green Salad Spring Mix and Smoked Salmon. I also had a side of strawberries and blueberries. Sooooo soooo sooo yummy! 292 Calories
For dinner we had some friends over and I made Wild Rice Summer Salad from Tosca Reno's Eat Clean Diet Cookbook. This book is a must for anyone trying to eat healthy. Hmmmm.....I think I sense a blog post coming up about it : ) This salad is one of my family's favorites. It has wild rice, chicken, edamame, corn, tomatoes, green onions, and a rice vinegar dressing. DOUBLY YUMMY! I didn't get a chance to take a picture, but I'm pretty sure I'm having it for lunch tomorrow, so I'll post a picture then. I also had a small side of fruit and more water. 307 Calories
So today I had 599 Calories. Yeah, that's terrible. I seriously never aim for that low. That's just not healthy or good. Tomorrow will better.
I also didn't get to exercise. I still have a sick little boy and I was getting ready for our friends to come over.

Let's be honest...Food and Exercise Log Days 7 and 8
Okay so here it comes. Sunday and Monday were not great. Sunday was Easter and while my eating was completely out of control it wasn't great either. I didn't eat breakfast (big mistake) then for lunch we had fajitas. We had premarinated chicken and I'm sure they were completely loaded with salt/sodium. I didn't have any cheese with them, but I did have guacamole. Also, the tortillas were not whole wheat. I had a side of black beans. For dinner we had our traditional Easter dinner....ham, potatoes, salad. You know the works. I wouldn't say I gorged myself, but come on honesty here. I ate potatoes that were smothered in sour cream and cheese. Not exactly healthy. I did NOT however pig out on Easter candy. that came later....
On Monday I just wasn't hungry. I had coffee for breakfast and that was it. Around lunch time I still wasn't too hungry but I decided to have something. I made a fresh apple carrot juice and added my TRI Cleanse and Green Superfood Raw Powder. I still wasn't hungry. Monday night I met some girls out for girls night. Here's where it kind of fell apart. We went to California Pizza Kitchen. Oh my word. I've never been there before and so I decided to get what everyone said was the best pizza. That was the Thai Chicken Pizza. It was soooo good, but I know it was so bad for me. During the day I started eating way too many dark chocolate m&m's. Half way thru the bowl I realized what I was doing and threw the rest in the trash. Unfortunately that same tactic didn't work as I found some mini reese's cups. I think I ate about 10 of those.
The baby is still running fever, so no gym and no work out for this mama.
I weigh myself daily, but my official weigh in day is Monday. During the week I had lost over a pound and a half. However, Monday I was back up to where I started at 186.6. My goal is to see that number below 185 by next Monday.
Grrr... Yeah, honesty...it's not so great....but what's the point if I'm not honest about what I'm doing.

How I look after a run
I'm not sure what happens to me when I do my Couch to 5k program, but my face turns an awful shade of red. I really wonder if people that see me are worried that I might just fall over and die right there. I mean seriously, my face is that red. It's kind of embarrassing, but there's nothing I can do about it. I took this picture about 5 minutes after I stopped running (sorry it's in the bathroom at the gym) and my face is still red as beat. It's crazy. I'm a big sweaty red tomato!
Food and Exercise Log 6
Ahhh....what a difference a day makes! I was determined to have a better day than yesterday and it happened. Yeah!!!
Let's start with today's food!
I have to admit that I got a little worried with breakfast. We were running late to take my oldest to his Robotics Lego class so I just grabbed my trusty Lemon Zest Luna Bar my bottle of water and I headed out the door. 180 Calories. I was afraid with this breakfast that I might be setting myself up for failure, but I didn't!
I got home from work out and running errands and had a great lunch! I have picture of it, but my camera isn't connecting to my laptop for some reason, so I can't share it. I had an original Boca Patty on a Small Ezekiel Sprouted Tortilla with Laughing Cow Light Swiss Cheese, Spinach and Lettuce from the garden; along with a fresh apple. It was super yummy and 339 calories.
Now about 5 pm (shortly before I started making dinner) I started feeling like I was starving! Like to the point where I thought I might get sick. So, I grabbed another Luna Bar (this time it was Chocolate Peppermint Stick). It was super yummy, but I wish I would have grabbed something that was a "clean" food. Oh well, 180 Calories.
For dinner I made a Roasted Veggie Sandwich. It was soooooo good. I made it with squash and zucchini from our garden along with bell peppers and onions from the store (hopefully ours will be growing soon and I won't have to buy them anymore). I have lots of pictures of this, but again my laptop is messing up. I do have the one I took of it on my plate (I used my phone and emailed it to myself : ) So I'll share that one with you. As soon as I get the camera hooked back up to the laptop I'm going to post the yummy recipe for the sandwich. I also had a side of watermelon. 430 Calories.
So in total today I have eaten 1129 Calories. Not too shabby! Woohoo.
I've also gotten in all 100 ounces of water. Yeehaw!
Now, on to exercise! My oldest takes his Robotics Legos class at our gym, so while he assembled robots I did my workout. I did the 3rd day of week 1 of Couch to 5k. It was seriously hard and seriously great. I pushed myself a tiny bit harder this time and my distance was better than last times. I went 1.86 miles in the 30 minutes instead of 1.83. Not a lot of improvement, but every little bit helps.
Since tomorrow is Easter I am worried about what is going to happen to my eating plan. I know there's going to be lots of candy and other sweets heading home with us. I'm just not sure how I'm going to resist the temptation, but I sure am going to try.

Food and Exercise Log 5
Ugggg....I don't even want to talk about today. The baby woke up with 102.7 temp so I spent the day at the doctor's office and taking care of him. I'm embarrassed/ashamed of what I ate. I figured it up and I ate around 1800 calories and I didn't exercise at all. Yuck! I also only drank about 30 ounces of water. Double yuck! Tomorrow will be better. I'm making a promise to myself.
