tough week

Many people have asked if it is still just as hard to lose weight and eat right after spending a year changing my eating habits and working as hard as I have worked.  Well the answer is..... YES!  Some days are hard and some days are not so hard. This week.......and well lets just go as far as to say, the past 2 weeks are the HARDEST weeks for me out of the entire year! For some people Christmas,Thanksgiving or a weeks vacation away from home would be hard. For me... it's right now. And it happens EVERY year! Both my kids have their birthdays 5 days apart plus Easter falls into the mix.

 I find these two weeks are a food frenzy.  It's two weeks where I let "sweets and Junk food" into my house. Along with family party, friend parties, and then they each get to pick where they want to have birthday dinner...... Plus Easter food and sweets! 

This is where I lose it! Ugh!!! So why don't I plan, prepare myself mentally.... I don't know? You would think I would learn!!! Needless to say I have gained a bit, eaten things I would not normally eat...... (hahemmmmm  cinnabon..... birthday cake!)  and in the end it has made my body feel terrible! This is not to say a person should never indulge.... it just should end with one indulge :)

Tonight was my son's 6th birthday and he of course picked.... Tommy's malt shop! AHHHH both my husband and I are like, seriously........ the most delicious hamburgers, sweet potato fries and amazing malts? Come on! Kill me now, just put me back in the fat suit and roll me out the door.

My poor husband Gene, his favorite food is..... hamburgers! He has been doing AMAZING on the 28 day program, it was killing him to smell those juicy, hand pattied and grilled to perfection hamburgers. But...... we decided together, we are NOT going to cheat, "we are in control of what we eat" AND 

"We can do it!!"

And that is what we did! We each had a salad and a glass of good old, H2O. While our kiddos indulged in some burgers fries and brownie marshmallow malts! (They really are happy,  but somebody did not want a picture taken :) Gotta love Mom the photographer and blogger!

Now, to make it through both of their friends parties and I can go back to my happy place!!! I can do it! I can do it! I can do it! I can do it!!

And my husband.... he has will power of steel, I don't get how guys have the ability to just disconnect? 

So not fair!!

His current weight.... 189! he is down 12lbs in 17days   Way to go Gene!!!

Until next time!
