Confession

Bad things went into my  body this weekend :(
McDonalds, pizza, chocolate milk, a bagel,  and cookies :(
Can't believe my lack of will power.
Wish me luck on my upcoming week!

Wedding!

Today is day 67 of my No-Cheat Challenge! The day I was awaiting/dreading was yesterday. It was mcousin Vince's wedding at a beautiful downtown theatre turned venue. The food was amazing! But today I get back on track for 67 more days straight

Here are some photos from last night!

 

71 Days Left!

So today, was Friday Treat Day at school. If you are a follower of my blog then you know that it is Fridays that I loathe due to all the yummy yet unhealthy foodthat fills our staff room at lunch time. Well today was no exception. There was Strawberry Rhubarb Pie, Cookies, Chocolate, Crackers and Gourmet Italian and Greek desserts. There just so happened to be one of my favourite Italian desserts. A cream-filled cake shaped into a peach. How could I have resisted one?!?!

... I have no idea how I did it but I did! Yay me! lol. Here is a list of what I ate today:

Breakfast:

Kashi GoLean (1cup)

Skim milk (1 cup)

Apple

75 Day Challenge!

Ok people! This is the day I start my own 75 day challenge. The challenge includes no sweets, junk food or any unhealthy food for 75 days! That will bring me right up to Christmas Eve. I am not going to give myself an exact weightloss goal, but Ithis one: Try to lose as much weight as possible in 75 days. Now, the thing that I always find challenging is special occasions because usually special occasions mean special food and we all know that special food is always delicious/unhealthy food.  There is one even that I am aware of that is going to be very challenging and that is my cousin Vince's wedding on Saturday. I know, a wedding! The worst event for a diet ever! It seems like my huge temptation these days is at work. There is always yummy food in the lunch room that I end up snacking on so this 75 day challenge will include eliminating the lunchroom munchies.  I feel very motivated to do this again so I'm hoping the increased motivation will provide me with a great amount of will power.

Happy Thanksgiving, Canada!

After eating like crazy this past Thanksgiving weekend I feel gross. Saturday was Oktoberfest at Bingemans. Had a lot of fun but ate Schnitzel on a BUN, half an apple pie slice and 4 beers!

On Sunday we headed down Brampton for Thanksgiving dinner at the De Napoli's. As usual, the feast was endless: turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, yams, stuffing and corn and then for dessert two types of cheesecake and my gluten free pumpkin muffins. Ya, I know, nice try Kris, lol.

On Monday, we went to Joe's mom's for Thanksgiving dinner. Again, a delicious traditional Thanksgiving feast. At least I made a "healthy" dessert. A non-bake pumpkin cheesecake which I will post a recipe for :)

Anyways, no wonder I felt like crap last night! I downed a couple of litres of water and some psyllium fibre pills. I also set some alarms for taking my supplements since I haven't been able to get back into routine in that area.

Ya, I know. I'm a bad girl, lol

Anyways, that's about all for this post. Keep checking back for more. Looking forward to your support!
