The Sabbath Crunch

Sunday's are always my hardest day of the week. Our church is at 11:00 am so Breakfast cannot be too early or too late. Lunch is delayed and then dinner is almost not worth it since church ends at 2:00 pm. It's very hard to fit  healthy food into this schedule. This morning I was excited for breakfast because this week I received a new cookbook in the mail, The Biggest Loser Family Cookbook.  When my new book came in, I scoured the pages for recipes that I knew I would eat, and recipes I thought my kids would enjoy. I came across the Strawberry Breakfast banana split as a breakfast dish. Sounds good right? A banana split for breakfast, and not just a banana split, a healthy one? I told my kids about it, showed them the picture from the cook book, and eagerly, my children counted down the minutes until breakfast was served. My son even waited for me to make breakfast instead of making himself a bowl of cereal. As I was making breakfast, I was licking my lips in anticipation of the chocolate, strawberries and bananas that were awaiting my taste buds. I gave my kids their bowls, and sat down with them to eat my bowl, and after just a couple of bites, pushed it away...I just was wrong. My mind and body was screaming at me, "WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING???? This isn't breakfast!!! I want breakfast and I want it NOW!!!" So into the freezer the banana split went to await a proper time of day, and I broke open the box of waffles. Finally, breakfast was served. :)

So on to my progress...
Sunday:
Weight: 248.4

I was so excited to get on the scale this morning, SURE that I had lost, and to my horror I gained another .4 lbs!!! ARGH! But it's a process. After looking over my food choices the last 3 days, I believe that I have figured out the weight gain trigger... bread/carbs. I've noticed in the last few days I've had A LOT of carbs and bread, so hasta la vista baby... carbs/breads are outta here! No I won't be cutting them out completely. I'm a carb girl. I loves my carbs, but I will be limiting them a lot more than I have.

Breakfast:
Waffles and whipped cream (too tired to cut up more strawberries)

Lunch:
Chicken Salad from yesterday minus the bread
Corn chowder from yesterday... gotta use up those leftovers

Dinner:
Creamy Italian Chicken with Rice.

I didn't get in nearly as many veggies today... ok, let's face it, I didn't get in any veggies today... gotta fix that tomorrow. Now I did add a few tomatoes to my chicken and rice, and a little cheese.

I need to exercise but since it's now 9:36 pm, I don't think I'm going to make it. My plan is to exercise 1st thing in the morning and again tomorrow night... here's to hoping.
