Cheat meal turns into cheat day

OK I believe that all is good in moderation. But only to an extant. I still do not partake in soda or truly unhealthy foods. Even on cheat day. I give myself one or two cheat days a week. Sometimes they are planned out or spur of the moment. But some times cheat meals turn into cheat days. On Sunday my family and I had come home from church and I had not gotten to the store the day before to get food to prep or even get healthy snacks. So I was feeling a little overwhelmed with the thought of what to make for dinner or lunch.
      So being over come with hunger I fed my kids a sandwich and got them to bed. I walked back to the kitchen and saw a huge thing of pop corn from the movies from the night before. I had bought it to share and didn't feel bad about eating it since it was our date night and my cheat meal. I had maybe eaten four bites at the movies. So I took the almost full tub of popcorn down stairs with me along with some otter pops and a rice krispy treat. Dan and I watched Pretty little lairs and consumed way to much junk for me to even mention!!
             Around 6:30 I got horribly sick. I was shaking and  and had the worst migraine!
I went up stairs, got my hot pad out and sat there and bailed my eyes out for the next half hour.I remember thinking to myself I had done this. I'm the reason why my body is shutting down. My Husband came to check on me a long with my two sugars. My daughter tucked me in and gave me a soft monkey to hold. And in that instance I realized I could never binge eat again. It is to important for me to be there mommy and take care of my self. I felt guilty for over indulging to the point of completely sickness. My husband took the kids to see my mom so I could relax. ( oh how I love him!) I pulled myself together and walked down stairs to make a veggie omelet and some blue berries. I rubbed some peppermint oil on my fore head and finally fell asleep. I don't even remember my kids kissing me before they went to sleep.
           The reason why I am writing you this is because I am not going to give up and either should any one who falls off the wagon. Just because you hit a bump in the road doesn't mean you should throw in the towel for good. We've come way to far to quit. Im having a hard time passing on sweets and not caving when it comes to crap. But each day is getting better and better. I never want to feel like I did on Sunday again and even though it was the sickest I've felt since giving up caffeine. I'm glad it happened. Ive got some Major goals in mind and I'm not letting this set me back!!!

Mug Cake

I found this Amazing IG account and am loving all her stuff! Ive seen tons of these mug cakes all over fitness accounts that I follow and have always been interested in making one. So this morning I tried it. I was very pleased!! It was so tasty and I cant wait to make another one tomorrow!

1/2 cup old fashioned oats

1 tsp baking powder

1tsp cinnamon

1/2 Tbs Steviea

3 Tbs mashed banana

2 egg whites

2 Tbs almond milk
Mix in a blender then spray mug with non stick spray. Pour into mug and cook for 2 min.

Protein Fluff icing
All I did was put 1 cup frozen raspberries in my blender with 1 scoop vanilla protein powder. I also added a little milk. Blend for a few min till its fluffy heaven!! 

Protein Bars

Ok Folks I am on the hunt for the best Protein bar. I like to make my own so I know exactly what I'm eating. This is the first one I tried and it was pretty good.

1 cup oats
3 scoops Choc. Whey Protein
3 Tbs Nutella
3 Tbs coconut
2 Tbs unsweetened cocoa
4 Tbs Almond Milk ( I would be careful with this. It all depends on your protein. So add a little at first.)

         I wrap mine in tin foil and put them in the freezer till I'm ready to eat one. Mine came out a little soft to so it helped them set up.

Sometime It Just Plain Sucks!!

Well my Husband Man started a new work schedule today. So that means I get to start getting up at 4:30.... That's early people! He had been out of town since Monday so I was doing my best to work out at home. So this morning when I woke up it was so hard! I didn't get to bed till 11 because I was updating Dan in on our babies while he was filling me in on the crazies he sat by on his plane rides. But I rolled out of bed after I had snoozed my alarm twice. Got dressed, ate my oats I had made last night, drank my prework out and jumped into my cold truck.
                  As soon as I got there I saw a neighbor who is not to fawned of me (long story). I waved to be polite and headed to do my leg press. I wanted to see if I could add another 25 pounds to each side.I put my plates on and sat down. While my first try my legs completely gave out. Good thing for safety's! I was so so embarrassed. Every one was staring at me and a few girls were laughing. I just knew my neighbor hater blocker was so happy to see me fail. It took every fiber of me to sallow my tears and not ran and leave. I went down to my regular weight and did my routine. The whole time just feeling off my game and wanting to quite.
      As I was driving home I started to think. Yeah today SUCKED but you know what be proud because you didn't stay in bed and you didn't give up. Tomorrow is a new day and a new start. And for all those people who saw me almost get crushed I'm not there for them. I'm doing this for me. For a better healthier life. And I just need to remember that!! Success is a journey and I know tomorrows work out will be better!!

Progress

While there finally up! I had to down load an app to my phone then my Husband had them on here in like 2 secs! First I just want to start off by saying please only leave positive comments. This is an uplifting and motivating blog. No haters please.These pictures are around 8 months after my second child. I had been eating clean for about a month and lost almost ten pounds in that four weeks from changing the way I ate. And that may not be a lot to some but to me I was thrilled. I weighed around 130 and my body fat was around 27 percent. I now weigh 112 and have 16 percent body fat.  I wish I would of taken a picture when I very first started but at that point I had no plans of what has transpired. Through this all I have fallen in love with fitness and helping others a long the way.  

          

I work my abs 6 days a week. They are regenerative muscles so you don't need to wait in between days to work them. As I look at the pictures I get excited for whats to come. I'm no where near where I would like to be but am on my way. And ladies If you can dream it, believe it then you can achieve it!! And always keep in mind success is a journey! Now lets do this!!!
