Well, now to post my weekend of food:

Extreme Challenge Week 5 Day 6 Saturday:

WOW! What a day!

We were so busy today being in town at my sister's. I had a ww roll in the car for breakfast, a few fries and two bites of a hamburger from Crown Burger, half of a diet coke for lunch, dinner was a pot-luck type at my sister's church building and she made a shredded pork loin in a mushroom sauce (which was delish), had a yummy green salad, a lot of fruit and veggies and dip, piece of carrot cake (from Costco, yum!), a couple peanut butter bars, chocolate chip cookie. I'm sure there was a few more treats involved, but I can't remember. Then we drove the 2 1/2 hours home arriving at 12:30 a.m.

Didn't get all my water in, not even close.
Day 7 Easter Sunday:

It was Fast Sunday at church, so no breakfast or lunch. Easter dinner consisted of our spiral ham, mashed potatoes, corn, deviled eggs (for me), rolls (ww for me). Then came dessert, 2 chocolate ganache covered strawberries, a piece of carrot cake, a Reece's Peanut Butter egg, and some misc. Starburst jellybeans and Robin Eggs.

Again, not all my water was consumed. I definitely need to make up for it today (which I haven't started doing yet, having a tough time getting motivated to exercise with the state my house is in).

Spring Challenge Day 2 Tuesday

I have gotten into the habit of journaling my food, so I guess I will keep it up even though it is not required for this challenge.

S: Banana (pre-workout)
B: Uncle Sam cereal w/banana, 4 oz. yogurt (probably too much to eat 2 bananas so soon, but I had already peeled it for my cereal when I remembered I had eaten one before working out)
L: a whopping few pieces of popcorn chicken
D: 1 small slice pepperoni pizza, 1 small piece of crazy bread, bowl of chicken queso soup, salad (lettuce, garbanzo beans, raspberry vinaigrette dressing), 1 c. milk
S: 3 c. (and I could have eaten more!) broccoli with shredded parmesan

Water: 72 oz.
Exercise: 20 min. DDR/20 min. Triceps and Biceps weight

I already know that my personal goal for next week will be to eat a full lunch everyday. I get out and about some days and just don't do lunch.

Exercise: 20 min. High Impact Aerobics

Today was one of those days that I wonder why I wanted to be a mom. Every thing my kids did drove me crazy! But most of all it is the constant whining, that makes me lose all patience that I ever had. They are all going to be early tonight (the sun might still be up!), so I can have a few minutes of quiet time (and maybe even another small workout as a stress reliever) before DH gets home from class (or work, wherever he's at tonight).

Interesting lunch today. Not a lot of food in the house due to my needing to go to the grocery store BAD! Hopefully I can tame the kids enough (or bribe them) to be good while I shop. We'll see what kind of mood I am in a little while.
