A short story tonight because I am Sooper Tired.
Didn't get the melamona excision today. Long story for another time. I have a reprieve until early December.
As for today:
Workout: Fire 55EZ
Breakfast: Shakeology, almond milk, maca
Snack: Apple
Lunch: Sushi (our local store now makes it on site. The dude rolling it made up a custom roll for me--1/2 spicy tuna, 1/2 spicy salmon. Yum!)
Snack: 1/2 of Declan's McDonald's french fries. Yes, I know. I took my kids to McDonald's. Emergency dinner run in between school and band concert.
Dinner: Other than the fries, I didn't partake in McDonald's. I came home and ate two bowls of cereal and a banana.
Total calories: 1565
Calories Burned: 2046 as of 10pm
And now, I'm falling asleep...

Best Laid Plans
Today I was all jazzed up to get my eating back on track. And I did. I love it when my eating and workouts sync up and I'm feeling all noble and smug. I can go for weeks and months staying on track and rocking it.
And then it's like I need a little break where I still workout, I just don't eat as well. I'm just coming out of a period like that so it was good to really eat well today and feel good about it.
This is what today looked like:
Workouts: HIIT 15, Tone 30
Breakfast: buckwheat groats, chia seeds, raisins, almond milk
Snack: Brazil nuts, pumpkin seeds, Craisins
Lunch: Shakeology, almond milk, almond butter
Snack: Apple, Nut-Thins
Dinner: Cooking Light Frittata, roasted potato wedges
Calories eaten: 1446 or maybe 1466. I can no longer remember.
Calories burned: 1672 as of 8:30pm. I won't get to a 500 calorie deficit--too much sitting today.
Here's the bummer. Tomorrow I have to go have about a 3cm patch of skin "excised" off my arm. Skin cancer, don't you know. It's a drag and I don't know how long I'll have to take off working out, but really, in the big picture of things, I need to let it go. It is what it is. I'm sure I'll be able to substitute in other types of workouts, but I probably won't be able to do TurboFire while the stitches are still in. I just had a small spot removed a few weeks ago (which is when I found out the spot was a melanoma) and the doc didn't want me throwing any TurboFire punches for a week. Again, trying to keep it in perspective.
And today's public service announcement: see your dermatologist once a year. I almost let this one get away from me and it was borderline very bad. That is all.

Getting Back on Track
I still work out.
Sort of.
You'd never know it by this blog.
I did OK on my water challenge. I was on track for the first two weeks and then I had a little trip where I didn't drink enough for about five days. I find when I travel that I don't want to drink as much. Who wants to be hopping up and down every 20 minutes on an airplane? Definitely not your seatmate.
So now I'm pondering what my goals are right now, especially with Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas in quick succession. I can feel my waistline expanding in anticipation.
My goal is to end the holidays in such a state that I do NOT need to participate in my friend's weight loss challenge in January! I'd love to be able to say, "No, sorry, I don't have 10 pounds to lose this year!" I wonder if that's even possible.
I definitely need to get more specific. This past week I've struggled with PMS eating, without really realizing I was doing it. Now there's some work to be done.
Here's my plan for next week:
1. Get back to gluten free. I haven't been adhering and I can feel it. Ugh.
2. 6x workouts a week.
3. Track food (have been really bad about this lately and it shows).
4. 64 oz. of water a day. I felt really good when I was doing it, I've just been too lazy to follow through.
So there's nothing revolutionary there. It's what I normally do, but I've been a slacker lately.
I just need to have a plan and stick to it. I'm a plan follower. I've had a few weeks of less than stellar behavior, now it's time to dial it back. And not chow through a bar of dark chocolate, almonds and sea salt every few days. Not that it wasn't good.
