Before and After Pics...Thus Far & Food Log Apr. 14th, 15th

Ok, so I've still been kinda depressed about my homeschool group situation for the past couple days. It didn't get better today when I found out our current president is running again and there's no one up against her. As a matter of fact, she claimed she would not rejoin next year...she lied...big surprise. Anyhoo, I've not done terribly the past two days, but still not as good as I need it to be. I'm holding so much extra water right now and it's probably due to sodium and Tom. This will change soon and I'll feel better. I think I'm going to look back at my food logs on the days I did really good and start repeating them to get my body running the way it needs to. I will need to go grocery shopping again soon to accomplish this. Ok so here's what I ate:

14th:

Breakfast: (We had to rush out the door to get to a fieldtrip so I grabbed some healthy stuff for the road) 4 whole wheat crackers, 2 thin slices swiss cheese, small handful cashews, 1 pear

Lunch: Ate out w/ friends from homeschool group and they wanted McD's so the kids could play. My Tom is bringing on anemia this time around...gotta love PCOS...so I ate a burger BUT I asked for one of the wheat buns they use for the chicken sandwiches. Granted, I know it's not whole wheat, but it's better than plain white. I opted for no mayo and had lettuce, tomato, pickle, and onion on it. I was pretty darn weak and I felt better after eating the burger. I got a fruit, yogurt, and walnut salad, and had half of a fudge sundae...yes, craving chocolate too.

Dinner: I made chicken enchiladas. I used the recipe from Nutmeg Notebook. Look on my blogroll...Tami has some fabulous healthy recipes. I had a salad w/ 2 and a half enchiladas.

15th:

Breakfast: out of cereal---ate 2 leftover enchiladas.

Lunch: 2 enchiladas, steamed veggies, granny smith apple (I really liked those enchiladas huh? lol), square of dark chocolate

Dinner: Sundried tomato crusted salmon filet 1 and 1/2, steamed veggies (green & yellow greenbeans, baby carrots), baked sweet potato fries


Ok, so some of you think I should put up some before and after pics to see how I've done so far. Well, I heard ya and took some pics of myself after voting the other night. :) I really am camera shy, but I admit I had a little bit of fun in front of the mirror...being goofy. lol So, here's the before....(gulp!)

This was around last Thanksgiving at my mom's house. I hate this pic of me and I keep it only b/c my sweet daughter and cousins are in it.

It's hard for me to tell if I look bigger in the first pic b/c I was sitting on the sofa...and different angles can also fool. I had to tilt my cellphone so the phone wouldn't be in front of my face in the pic. I definitely think I look better for sure in this pic.






Then I started to play and got carried away....lol

This is my expression for "Oh no she did-n't!!" hehe










With glasses....

and au naturale....









When I went shopping last week, I did something I've never done before. I took a pic of myself in the dressing room.

Seriously...did you think I'd actually take the pic without clothes on?? And don't pretend ya didn't think it when I said "dressing room". LOL! j/k. I actually took this pic b/c this shirt doesn't fit me super well and I wanted to show hubby so he could tell me if he thinks it's cute....b/c if he does I'm going back to buy it. ☺ I really loooove this shirt and it would be a good incentive for me...I'd need to lose a few more pounds for it to fit right. I wasn't sure if I'd show this pic b/c I am not wearing make up, but ehh...who cares. Hope you guys are having a great week...I'll be swinging by very soon to catch up and say hi. ☺By the way, I love you guys (Gah! Could I be anymore hormonal??)....your support means so much to me. Thank you.
