Dizzaayy TWO

My motivation levels successfully leaked into day 2..I really wish it was day 35. Meals were beautifully packed once again, and consisted of the following:

Dark Chocolate Medifast Shake

1 cup plain greek yogurt/1packet splenda/1/4 cup raspberries (in season and SO delicious)

Leftover Couscous from last night (so delicious)

String Cheese

celery and 2 tbsp of peanut butter

I never got to the peanut butter, but did have celery with my string cheese. Water was great today! Although I did have to keep checking myself to make sure I got it all in (that sounded gross). 

2.5 miles ran, along with 50 sit-ups/squats and 20 push-ups. I ALMOST flaked on the exercise today, was feeling emotionally challenged and really wanted an alcoholic beverage. Thank goodness, Aiden is on board with the bike rides and acted as a "mini-pusher" and got me out there. Once it was completed, I realized those endorphins can definitely give  a lot more than what you can obtain from a beer.  

Oh! I almost forgot to tell you, for dinner I baked up these delicious mini-meatloaves with the thinnest layer of Red potato icing ( really just mashed up potato with a bit of greek yogurt and garlic). I was ecstatic that the weather permitted the use of the over, because these guys were delish. Here is what they consisted of: 

1 lb turkey

1 zucchini, shredded

1 egg white

11/2 tsp garlic powder with parsley

dash of paprika

I baked 3 individual little loaves and had one for dinner, saved one for lunch (when you love to cook, there's nothing better than leftovers for lunch. 

So that was my day. The nights are a struggle, but luckily, I had one little Medifast Smores bar to save my life. ☺I promise I will begin writing about my day the day of, rather than the next day.

On another note, my 26th birthday is around the corner. Its weird when birthdays come around, at least personally, I take the whole month prior to and acknowledge the metaphorical succeses and failures that I have seen in the past year. This year is such a mixed emotion for me, I feel  I've gained as much as I have lost. Working on focusing on the gains....but not the weight gains. I will probably get a tattoo or two for my birthday, hopefully 2. One will be "bon appetit" on my wrist, and the other will be the fly from the poem book, The Spider and The Fly" for children. If you've never read it, do so, or just google the image and share your thoughts. 

Share your thoughts??? Is anyone even out there........anyone?
