Day 32 of 35

So....I've only lost 5 pounds since my weight loss venture to loose 20 pounds in 35 days. This comes with about at LEAST 10 different events I've attended including BBQ'a, festivities or some sort and lots of cake! I think I've given in to the cake eating 2-3 times. I've eaten at restaurants as healthy as possible, sometimes not caring....lots of bad days, good happy days. This weekend I went on YouTube and looked up some "bootcamp" workouts to try and try to get away from 232lbs and today was day 1. I was supposed to start Saturday then Saturday turned into Sunday but (yes BUT) I cooked Friday and Sunday for church. I ate cake Saturday night from just being in a rotten mood and Sunday I made myself some "Mother's day nachos" which were just so super good. Better than your average mexican restaurant...anyway enough of that. It was my turn to cook for RU - so I made about 100 flatas, 2 trays of rice, 2 trays of beans, guacamole, salsa and all the other fixings like sour cream. I ate two flatuas, 2 choco chip cookies, little bit of rice and some beans. On Sunday morning it was my turn to make breakfast so I made chilaquiles, refried beans, and fried eggs and fresh salsa. Yes I had some. Sunday night the Lazo's had a BBQ after church and I had a hot dog wrapped in bacon (no bun), a hot link, a carne asada burrito with stir fried bellpeppers, onion and avocado wrapped in a wheat tortilla. It was good....and a small cup of sprite. I didn't weigh in on Monday, I ate healthy all day and worked out this morning.

This Friday is the banquet and only 5 pounds lost instead of the 20 I was aiming for. The only thing I can say that is good out of this is that I have lost this weight VERY slowly and it's sorta good because I don't seem to gain too much when I do cheat. Just need to give it a day to drop it off and I can continue on. The only really bad negative when cheating is that my mood swings are HORRIBLE. I'm like all over the place. So I need to eat healthy to stay sane and not so emotional.

If my period if going to be normal (on a 28 day schedule) like all the other normal people, I am supposed to get it on Saturday. I hope I don't get it on Friday (banquet night) but I'll be prepared nonetheless.

Well I am hoping that I can lose several pounds this week at least so that my face is not super puffy for the banquet picture...I'm praying for a 5 pound loss but I think that will ONLY happen if I do 2-3 hours of workouts per day and not sure that I'm going to have time for that. We'll see. God bless.
