I've lost track!

I can't remember exactly what week and day I'm on with SFL.  Oh well, suffice it to say that this is longer than any healthy eating plan has ever lasted before.  While I'm probably slacking a bit in some areas, I do feel there are some changes that are becoming permanent.  For example, this morning when I dropped Peter off at the airport I was starving.  Instead of purchasing a chocolate bar (which would have always been my first choice), I bought a small bag of nuts.  They were roasted and salted, which isn't exactly what I'm supposed to eat, but probably the best option at the airport.

Then, tonight I decided I would have a few Doritos (I should have been having greek yogurt and berries ...), so I counted out a serving of them.  That has always been huge for me.  If I can stick to portion sizes I can be successful at this.  I only ate 60% of the serving, which is even better.

After seeing 127.4 on the scale on Friday, my weight has crept back up slightly, but that's to be expected.  I've had a couple of big weight-loss weeks, so I'm anticipating that I won't lose anything this week.  I am feeling fairly motivated to stay on track with my eating.

What I'm not feeling motivated to do?  Exercise!  Friday was my scheduled rest day, then I took last night off because it was Peter's only night home, and then tonight I was just too exhausted.  I really want to get back into a routine, but I may end up missing more days before this teaching block is over.  I can't wait to finish month 2 of Insanity so I can go back to shorter workouts!

I had a wonderful time shopping all by myself today!  I did some Christmas shopping on top of regular errands.  I could easily blow the budget buying for the kids for Christmas but I tried to keep things reasonable!  I haven't entered everything into YNAB yet - I just put it on my to do list for tomorrow night. 

Overall, I'm feeling pretty good for tonight.  Two more crazy weeks and then things start to slow down a tiny bit.  It was so nice having Peter home and realizing what it's like to be all together as a family.
