The Accidental Pizza Incident

Haven't posted in a while because my weigh in Monday left me in a very negative attitude.  And nobody wants to read more negativity.  But, I have changed a few things this week, including my mindset.  I'm not going to stress out about how many pounds I loose every week.  Instead, I'm going to think to myself, "Did I do everything in my power today to be a healthier person?" And if the answer is yes, then I have succeeded.  And I think that if I continue to make healthier choices, my weight will naturally reflect that.

I also started taking lactobacillus acidophilus pills again.  It's the bacteria found in yogurt times a million (or so).  It really helps with digestion, and I've noticed less gas, more poop, and less bloating.  Also, if you are taking antibiotics, it will prevent a yeast infection.  It's an amazing little pill, and I highly recommend it.  Don't take too much though.  I did that once, and a very embarrassing problem developed (thank goodness it lasted less than a day!!).

So with my new mind set and tuned up digestive system, MY scale says I've lost 4 pounds this week (so that makes 7 pounds since I started).  Who knows what the weigh in scale will say.  But I can't control that, so I'm not going to worry about it.

We have been slacking a bit with our diet and exercise this weekend.  Yesterday we went to Chipotle, and had burrito bowls with brown rice, black beans, barbacoa, salsa, lettuce, and a little sour cream and cheese.  I only ate half of it, and then we walked around the grocery store for 2 hours (and spent over $200 AGAIN!) so I figure that evens it out.  We skipped our legs and back workout too.

Today we tried to go to a healthy soup, salad, and sandwich place, but after getting lost and walking for an hour and who knows how far (literally from one end of Breckenridge to the other) the place was closed.  By then we were starving and ready to kill each other, without many options, so we went to a pizza parlour, and shared a thin crust pizza with chicken, broccoli, garlic, mozzarella, and marinara. Not ideal, but better than meat lovers!  After that we walked to the other end of Breckenridge again.  So we definitely got our exercise in today, probably aren't going to eat more than cereal for dinner, and we aren't doing our workout tape today.  I feel guilty about the pizza.  Especially the day before weigh in.  But seriously, oh well!

Tomorrow is weigh in.  I'll let you know how it goes.
