7 weeks out

It's been an interesting week to say the least...I worked ridiculously hard the first half then due to Zoe's b-day party planning, school, and family in town I got kind of caught up in it all and didn't get my workouts in the way I like. So I wound up doing a 7 mile run at near midnight with my friend Natarria, then last night went to the gym at 10:30-midnight for another hard round of weights and sprints. I pulled my quad merely kneeling down a few days ago so have been nursing it as well but it's held up pretty well through it all and seems to be back to normal now. I weighed in at 148.25!! Down 18 lbs from June 1! Some wondered if I'd eat clean at Zoe's b-day party ..well I didn't. The entire couldn't have been a bit busier and I was not prepared with my own meals. I literally sped home on lunch to cook 3 different things, then as soon as work let out, did the same thing and still was a few minutes late. I RAN from place to place all day trying to pull her party together. It was a great party and enjoyed all those who came. In case you're wondering what I ate since I didn't have my own stuff I stuck to the healthiest I could, but then collapsed under all my own baking. I had grilled chicken, asian coleslaw which wasn't all that unhealthy the way we make it (these were both small bites) then some chicken salad, some banana bread and a few cake pops. Sounds like a lot...to me it was..but was also in smaller sizes-ish. I had a instant headache and didn't feel good, which just goes to show how much better my body likes/needs healthier stuff. Did I relish it though? Heck yeah..it was my daughters first b-day so I lived a little. But the nice thing was it made me CRAVE my clean eating and it's then that I realized I may have just altered my lifestyle. After the show I will enjoy carbs and sweets but in such smaller portions than before and I have learned so much more how important it is to eat healthier that I was actually excited to get back to my cleanliness. Today's protein pancakes, and chicken and green beans for lunch tasted great and I felt good eating them. Anyway, here are the pics from this week....
