One day in, and I've barely made it!  LOL
My son decided he'd like to be awake, and stay awake, at 3:47am on our first day back to school/work from Winter Break.  I knew it would be a rough day just from lack of sleep, but add to that the lack of carbs and sugar, and I would be completely done for... so, I figured I wouldn't survive, might as well cheat to make it!  So no surprise endings - that's called foreshadowing folks!  ;-)

Here's how the day shaped up:
3:47-5:30 am - struggled to force myself not to strangle my child as he flopped around like a fool!
5:40am - dressed and ready to work out T25 style!
6:15am - made lunches for the family, showered and got ready for work.
7:15am - off to school/work, with smoothie bowls in hand.
9:00am - morning breakfast snack, bacon egg cupcake.
11:30am - small salad w/ pomegranate dressing and small slice of pizza (didn't want it to go to waste, and believe me, it could be much worse!)
2:30pm - mini Twix... told you, I wasn't gonna make it through alive, totally had to cheat!  ugh!
5:30pm - TACO TUESDAY!  We do street tacos on the regular, they're delicious and not too bad for ya
2 ground beef, 1 chicken - asada seasonings, coleslaw mix and avocado lime dressing.
 I also had a "cutie" as a sweetened side as I didn't want to eat the sweet chili doritos calling my name!
TIP #2 - EMPTY YOUR PANTRY of all bad food when starting healthy plan!
8:00pm - 2 spice drops (red and green) and a chewy caramel made it into my mouth while I was trying  to survive the 6 year old bedtime routine that is my life!
9:00pm - a promise to not cheat on DAY 2, I think I can survive 1 flippin day - pull it together!
TIP #2 - Don't call it cheating or give up or sell yourself short if you have a bad day!
You can't be perfect all the time, so suck it up and move on and try harder.  And I will.  tomorrow.

Let's give it a go 2018!

So this is it... my umpteenth attempt at trying to maintain a healthy lifestyle!  Maybe this time it will be different... maybe this time I'll actually lose some weight... maybe this time I'll make it last (for more than a week)... MAYBE... In all honesty, I'm not holding my breath!  It's not that I don't want to be healthy, or lose weight, or that I'm not willing to try a bit harder this time... but, I never want to enter into a new year making myself some asinine promise that there's the slightest chance I can't keep, or it could ruin the whole year as soon as I fail in week #2!  And that's a lot of weeks left to suffer through as a complete and udder failure just because I'm better at being chunky than not. The thing is, this time it feels a bit different.  Possibly because this week's recipes actually sound delicious!  After nearly a decade of collecting and pinning and testing and eating, maybe I've finally found a good food plan...
