Day 128-131 - Amber

I don't even know what happened to Thursday! I thought I posted that day. Dang!!

Well, days 129, 130, and 131 were a super fabulous BUST. Caleb and I went to Fredericksburg for the weekend to do some planning and relaxing. The whole goal was to get away to evaluate how we're doing in different areas of our lives.

But, let me just say, Fredericksburg is not the place you want to go if you're trying to find healthy food. As evidenced in the fact that Caleb and I each gained 3 pounds this weekend. We decided while we were there we would try and snack on veggies for snacks and healthier options in our room, and dinner we'd do the best we can. And then friday night started our escapades in "giving up." During the weeekend we ate: Mexican food (and it was horrible too...you apparently can go very wrong with chees3 enchiladas), fries smothered in cheese, MCDonalds, burgers. We tried to get a salad once, but it was horrible, so Caleb ended up eating it and i ate the burger we planned to split. (I'm so spoiled, and my husband is so sweet).

Needless to say, I did not at all stay within my calorie range. I did get in a lot of veggie and fruit snacking though. And I said not to all kinds of cakes and candy's etc etc. We did buy Fudge sunday, but we split it. And Friday and Saturday we had strawberries and whip cream.

It was really the biggest EPIC FAIL to date.

Luckily, today is going well. I did not want to cardio my butt of this morning before breakfast. But I did. And so far my calories are in check. I'm working on making some goals for myself, because I haven't been sticking to my calorie ranges very well the last couple weeks, and have been snacking a lot in the evening....bumping my calories over my quota....no, no. So, I'm thinking of switching my calories to a flat 1700, and still brainstorming how to work on the snacking. Basically, I need more discipline.

This weekend is a retreat out of town for planning for high school stuff. I'm not sure what to do about that...food wise. Maybe bring some veggies and fruit to snack on??
