In a rut!

Bloglovin
I can't get out of this rut I am in. I will eat good for 2 days then blow it. I think it has a lot to do with my husband being off for 7 days and he always wants to eat out. I know everyone says to check the website and look at the calories before hand but its impossible here. There is nothing but mom and pop shops that do not have websites or calories on menus. Most of the time the only place to eat is Mexican food. Oh! and a Chinese buffet that my husband insisted on going to and this happened.
 I do not have many choices out here in this small town. We do have a Chilies and I love their margarita chicken but you can only go there so many times because they get pricey. We also went out of town this weekend and had a baby shower to go to as well so I was screwed. Gained a couple of pounds and I have to hurry and get them off because the dietbet I am on ends soon.


On a good note I worked out on Monday and did this.
Oh and I finally got some compression socks because I have been getting shin splints.
Ok I need help people. After that work out which was leg day my ass and thighs have been killing me. Tuesday and Wednesday I could barely sit down or get out of my car. I did work out Wednesday. I did the first day of C25K and arms but man I could barely do the first day of C25K because my legs were so sore! Anyone have advise. I love the feeling because I know I worked out hard but I don't want it to prevent me form working out the next day or not being able to work out as intense.

Struggles with losing weight

I am a fast food junkie! I love it. It's fast and it taste good. Plus I don't have to cook or clean up. It is so hard to give up but I haven't had it weeks. The worse part is my husband and son still want it and still get it.
 
 
Torture I tell you! I sat there and drank my unsweetened tea. After, we went to the park so the boys played can play while I ran and workout. It was so nice out.
 

We went home and I made me some chicken and veggies. It has been my quick go to meal that I love.
 
Another Struggle is finding the time to workout. I can only work out when my husband is home because I have no one to watch my son. Plus I babysit mon-fri. So I have to workout early in the morning or late at night. My husband was working days and so I would go work out from like 9-10:30 pm but we found out a 22 year old woman was sexually assaulted in the early early morning walking in the apartment complex. It scared my husband and I because he can't stay up to walk me to the gym and the complex is huge and its kind of a distance to walk. Not to mention these are new apartments and I have to walk through the constructions part that is dark still. My husband is on graveyards now so I try and get my work out in when he comes home before I start to babysit but still don't know what I'm going to do when he goes back to days.
 
 
Oh we can't forget the struggle of emotions and mind. "Its just a hand full of chip" It is never just a hand full of chips. I've been wanting my junk food or creamy food because I'm a cheese and sauce lover. Can't forget the fact my husband isn't working out or really watching what he's eating and loses 10 pounds. He said he was going to workout and eat right with me but that has yet to happen. So I get so frustrated because he is still losing some weight. It makes me feel like why try. I still try though. Another problem I have is when I get on a a "routine" to count my calories and workout I kind of obsess over it and it consumes me. I hate it. I need to meal prep better so I'm not thinking about food 24/7. Am I the only one?
 
So my new obsession food is
 

It's lettuce, Tyson fajita chicken, black beans (rinsed), feta cheese, Avocado, and salsa
 
I also made a taco bowl the other night and it was pretty good.
 
 
This post is kind of all over the place but I really want people to know everyone struggles. The weight doesn't just fall off. This past two weeks I have been at a standstill  I even gained a pound but this morning I pushed through. I finally lost my first 15 pounds but have a crap load to go. 50 pounds to my goal weight but I am going to take it 10 at a time. I weight this morning at 200.4 I was like are you kidding me .4 to be under 200. I almost wanted to try and pee to get it under but I accepted it. Now my new mini goal is 190. If you notive my weight chart thing on thte bottom I have been struggling back and forth with dieting and not but I think I finally got into my grove.
 
 I joined a DietBet. There are different bets but this one cost $25. It is a 28 days to lose 4% of your body fat. If you don't you lose your $25. If you do you get the $25 back plus the pot of the money the people didn't pass gets divided up with the people that did lose the 4%. It started yesterday but it isn't too late to sign up. there are other. Different start dates and different prices check it out.

Biggest Loser 9

I didn't get a chance to write this on Monday but that's when I weighted in and I lost 6 pounds! I am excited but scared for this coming week. I have been working out a lot though. I am competitive with myself and I beat my time for the mile and my calories! I always try the beat the time before. Sorry this is short but I have midterms and my son started Tball this week. Hope everyone is doing well.
