Started a new week! I don't feel like I was 100% last week and, even today, I was off plan a bit. But, I still got in all the SSS's and am determined to do well in the week ahead. School is starting and, in a crazy way, I'm feeling like having this plan and controlling my food will help me face the scary days ahead. This term feels daunting.
For breakfast I had a smoothie in a quart jar: cashew milk, frozen mixed fruit, Swiss chard, ground flax, vanilla, and an orange.
At lunch I heated up some leftover cabbage soup, a corner of my 3yo's scone (ETL compliant), and then I enjoyed a whole wheat bagel with peanut butter and a decaf coffee with almond milk while out grocery shopping with my son.
For dinner I had a bowl of cole slaw (I'm pretty sure the recipe is on my tab at the top), an orange, and a handful or so of potato chips. (not ETL compliant. *eyeroll*)
Now I'm sipping some sleepytime tea and battling a fierce headache. Not sure if it's a detox headache due to all the coffee I've been drinking lately or if it's because of the chips, but it's pounding. Could be from the lack of sleep and water. I haven't been drinking enough water, that's for sure.
Even though I've completed a week on this 6 week challenge, I'm not weighing in. I've decided I want to wait until I start to *feel* and notice changes in my body and clothing before I step on that scale. I don't want to defeat myself by seeing any scary numbers right now. ;)
Also, as I mentioned above, I'm not feeling like this week was "reward worthy". I did well, but I can do better.
