another day but it's still the same

So, Ive heard the saying, time and time again. Doing the same thing but expecting a different result = insanity. Yet every morning I am completely confident that today will be different. But, as of today. It still isn't.

Last night was amazing. I went out to dinner with my brother to Misfits. An amazing restaurant in Santa Monica. I shared whatever they ordered. Which happened to be macaroni and cheese and a salad. I'm quite sure the mac and cheese is not on the approved food list. 2 margaritas later and I was super happy. Again... not on the approved list.

After a 10 mile run this morning I was really happy I had the carbs in my system. But after the run I was starving. As promised I did very well. Egg whites with vegies. A slice of sprouted bread with almond butter. For a mid-afternoon snack I had cheese and crackers. And for lunch In-n-out. And we all know In-N-Out is definitely not on the list!

It always starts off well and then it goes downhill from there. And I haven't even had dinner yet!

Will tomorrow be different?

just do it

I've done it! I've decided to set some goals for this year!

1. weigh less than 130 pounds
2. Be 18% bodyfat or less
3. compete in the May figure contest
4. compete in the Las Vegas sprint Tri

but how will i get there... not by eating today's meals. It started off great.

protein pancakes! - tasty but not happy, although i felt happy and healthy.

but... 2 cupcakes later I was regretting my poor resolve.  ugh.

off to the mall - a fried chicken strip and cinnabon later I was still hungry

back at home I found some pita chips and rice... yummy but not belly friendly

HELP!!!

the more i tell myself "no" the more I feel drawn to the "bad" foods. what's a girl to do.

how do you stay on track with your food choices?  How do you say no and make good choices?

It's only 2:00PM and I have at least 7 more waking hours!

ps- I have 60 more ounces of water to drink!
