This year I am replacing the Boiled Custard with Heavy Whipping Cream. I bought a gallon at WalMart tonight to start practicing using it as a replacement.0

Aside from water this was a pretty amazing weekend for me! I celebrated an anniversary yesterday and normally we'd have tossed our WOE to the side and had whatever we wanted, but we made GF chicken piccata and the MariaMindBodyHealth.com pumpkin cake and I was over by only a few carbs. Not too F*kkin shabby if I do say so myself. Come a LONG way since last winter!!0 -
Monday check in:
1. Shopped, cooked, food prepped like a champ all weekend. Check.
2. Only eating out was a glass of wine at the local wine bar, no restaurants, no coffee, not even farmer's market noshes. I'll give myself a check, since we usually do a restaurant lunch or brunch on the weekends.
3. Limited my shopping to one trip to TJ's and Whole Foods plus one trip to the Farmer's Market. I will probably do a quick re-supply on Wednesday (I'm out of eggs, coffee and olive oil), but other than that, not going anywhere near grocery stores. Check.
4. Not a work weekend0 -
Let's not talk about Saturday. It did not go well.
Anyway...
Sunday, 10/11, Check-In:
- Water: 80/80oz
- Calorie goal under (Sun-Fri schedule): I wish I knew. But impromptu visit to the in-laws meant no logging so I think I was close, but I really have no idea, so no pumpkin for me.
- At or under carbs: No formal logging but it was eyed and I'm confident it stayed under 50g so...
- Unplanned exercise: 60 min yard stomp.
- Hit electrolytes:
- Logged food: Did great until the in-law visit. No wifi, no food scale, no logging.

My lower right SI has been KILLING me, so I've had trouble getting my exercise in. Of course walking makes it feel better but on weekdays I don't get much chance. Normally my standing desk setup at work would be helping, but not this time. I have a chiro appointment in an hour, hope that gives me back the ability to start exercising and restrengthening my core which has been neglected of late.

I had a rude awakening today when I logged some sugar free pudding and it put me over my carb count. Live and learn. That won't be on my grocery list again.

1. food planned for next two weeks -done over the weekend, don't have to worry about it :-)
2. ran out to Publix yesterday, but there was no food items brought, just cleaning supplies (and a cute light-up ghost for my desk at work)
3. avoiding restaurants until the weekend, although I have a wicked craving for BBQ.
4. Not a work weekend, don't count.
So far so good. I will try to avoid further trips to the food stores until the weekend, avoid restaurants, and limit other unnecessary expenses. If this helps me to cut $100-200 from my monthly budget, it would be amazing...
