Friday...165.8..

 Good Morning .... yep spring ....no so much....
This is right out my window - I'm about to shovel it and mail it to Roackband Barbie!

Yesterday was a great day for a variety of reasons....
Calmer day...:)

I ran/walked a 5K on dreadmill
Made some good food choices - here is the exciting play by play...
Breakfast - 1 egg with sprinkle of chedder
Green Kale cucumber ginger juice @ 10:30
Snack apple at 1pm
Vegan veggie soup with oyster crackers at 2pm
Then someone brought homemade red velvet cupcakes to the office - WTF! 
I wanted some...but fought it off and went and bought wasabi covered peas - 120 cals 5 protein - with a kick.. I won!

        
Sweet Potato Soup around 4pm...

Dinner - Protein shake - 8oz lite soymilk, 1 scoop protein powder, 1 scoop PB2 and 1 scoop Green Vibrance... 245 cal 26g protein

Handful of unsalted sweet potato chips

1.5 bags microwave popcorn...I could have skipped the extra half bag and done without the salt but I'm calling it a win, here's why....

As I was leaving the office, I really wanted chocolate - like good chocolate, cadburys or something - I pulled into the parking lot at the grocery store and was going on auto pilot about to go in and buy a bag....then I was like WTF am I doing - why would I buy a bag of candy and pretend like I'm not gonna eat the whole thing...we all know I would.  
So I left - didn't even go in to the store.....huge WIN.



     

Ten Things Thursday~165.00

1.  No snow yet...just wind...yeah!

2. Yesterday I worked from 8am to 8:30 PM- brain was fried at the end.  I made some food mistakes - for two reasons:
    a.  I was not prepared with snacks.
    b.  I had to hold my tongue and not wring someone's neck.  I wonder if it would have been better to point blank say "so you think my time is not valuable and making me rush and then wait for 3 hours for you was part of my job?"  It was horrible - because I couldn't speak up for a varitey of reasons...urgh.  So I pounded some sugar and it made me feel worse.

3. Its not healthy to let people walk all over you - even if it means losing money.  

4.  Yesterday is yesterday - today is a brand new fresh day.  
I'm about to go for a run and get my hair did and get a mani/ pedi.
4a - 165 - down two - miracles do happen.

5.  I am appalled every day by just how odd people are and how many feel like the whole world revolves around them...maybe its just the Range Rover driving City Folk that storm the hamptons.

6.  Its clear that the people who are succsessful are agressive and take what they want (like a honey badger) 
 a.  Its also clear that I am not wired like that....for some damn reason my parents raised me with manners and a sense of class.  This does not help me in cut-throat business...   

7.  My word of the day is Calm...Keep Calm and foster Bliss.

8.  Planning my epic trip to Thailand and Indonesia ...that is a good way to foster Bliss ....

9. Stole this quote from another top 10 list - "7. Dream your next big adventure. Envisioning what you want has real power. By setting intentions daily and managing your thoughts, you will reach your goals. This is called deliberate creation, and it is the only way to create the life you desire."  

10. By setting intentions daily and managing your thoughts, you will reach your goals.

10a. By Setting my intentions daily and managing my thoughts, I will reach my goals.

10b By setting my intentions daily and managing my thoughts, I will reach my goals.



        

WTF ~ Wednesday ~ 167.0

More snow on the way?  WTF - I was in denial - even when Cat was so politely asking if I knew there was snow coming and was I ready....I replied - pshaw - no snow for my area...urgh...not so...not so.. 6+inches on the way - high winds and power outtages expected.. Not happy about this...

Yesterday I got in a  sweet MTB in the afternoon - it was like spring!  - So beautiful...I'll just focus on that.

Food  yesterday - all good...no sugar.  BOOYAH! And the scale moving down...non challenge success!

S'mai - now barks at me in the evening until I light her a fire....#spoiledbitch

First tick of the season...not looking forward to this...

  

News Flash

 Its not easy - very few people make it in a straight line right to goal.

I am definitely  not one of those people.  Its a life long journey and I work at it daily - are there days (weeks)  I say fuck it?  yes. 
But thats life.  Perfection is not the goal - healthy mind and body is the goal.  

LBG posted this video from Black Candy on her FB page -

Its real and true and she is all sass - if you've got a few minutes please watch it...   


In other news - new blogger - check her out  On my way to size 8

And in real local news - the giant dirt pile that has been in my driveway and has been a source of drama is going away today!

I feel like the master of Getting Shit Done!

   

I DONT WANNA..168.2

Be up right now about to ride my bike...
I want to be back in bed.  

Non Challenge - 20 pounds in 3 months - Funny how its a thing...as the last challenge I did I gained 10 pounds...yeah - I better not gain 20 in 3 months- its gotta get turned around,

Thats why I'm about to get on the bike...shit I left my water bottle on the bike outside...so ...Ice Bottle.  Ballz

Mo comes home tomorrow - yay! Tonight is cleaning night!

Does anyone else think the fact that Dennis Rodman is bringing messages back from North Korea to the President is so strange?    

I went on that bike ride - amazing - cold - beautiful - peaceful -I am calm and ready for the day ahead of me.

You will never regret going for that ride or run....

Looks like 168.2 is sticking for now..so thats the real # the real damage from the holidays and sugar binges....
With Spring around the corner, I am determined to take these 20 pounds off!  - Races are coming up and I need to be fitter and faster. Its that simple.

Goal for today - feel the feelings that drive me to binge and sit with them for a little while - its not life or death - there is no lack of food ....it can wait...     

Sunday...

Yesterday I finally got back out on the MTB...amazing!  
It really is just like riding a bike...ha  ha   ha.   
I'm up early again this morning to get my bike on - heading out to montauk for a spin with my bestie and hoping like hell that my phone doesn't start rining while I'm out.  All I'm asking for is 3 hours of silence.....pleeeeeaaaassseee.

I get to meet all kinds of people through my work - yesterday it wasn't the person that had me star struck it was his car - and All ORIGINAL BOSS 429.   You could hear it coming miles away.  Now this is a cool car - I'm over the range rovers and porsches they are so average. 

The holy grail - this is why I work.  A lot of people buy fancy cars and trophy houses..not me. When I make it big- it will be the Vitamix 750....I visited it at williams and sonoma this week...its only a $700 blender ... yeah, even I can't justify that splurge...

Back in NY on my morning run...Exercise is not the problem for me...its eating like a trash can... I'm going to start leaning hard on my accountability partners -get ready girls.

Yesterday's Bike ride - up to the bluffs with my buddy Otto

 

 

 

I stole this from Sarah at Thinfluenced  Thanks for the motivation!!

 

Keeping it Real ~ 168.2

I'm home alone this weekend - Mo is still in Florida.  Its not going the way I envisioned it.

I thought I'd be eating clean and watching all my favorite TV shows and just doing me.  Because, after all, my poor food choices are all his fault.   Now that would be a lie I tell myself.
 
Reality - my day was crazy yesterday and I stopped at the store on the way home  - knowing that I had to work another 3 hours from home - bought a tub of ice cream and sprinkles and then proceeded to binge for the evening.  As I was buying it, I knew what would happen...similar to a crack addict.

What tha What?  I was lonely and stressed. I need to develop better coping skills with stress.

Moving on to today  ~ going Mountain Biking this morning before work ~ haleilujer!   And this 20 pounds by June 1.  Its not a challenge..but a goal - a do-able goal that I think is achievable.  Only if I stop binging on ice cream and sprinkles... I guess that means that today is detox.  

In more exciting news - that red polka dot swimsuit  came - its awesome - although to my shock and dispair - its tight... 
Game on - I have to keep reminding my self how awesome I felt at 155lbs - I'm pushing to get to 147 by June 1 and have some races planned by the end of this weekend.
