Heidi Days 19-21
So, the weekend was a wash...
Friday - Can't remember what I ate for meals, but had ice cream and soda at grandma's house
Saturday - Dislocated my shoulder at 4 in the morning trying to walk through the baby gate (worst physical pain of my life), had a banana muffin in the ER after they set my arm and the drugs finally kicked in, then didn't eat anything until the cookie exchange party that night. Ate only one garlic cheese bomb roll, two sweet and sour meatballs with mushrooms, and a small portion of loaded baked potato rounds. Sampled a few cookies. Enjoyed visiting with friends but missed Katie and Caitie!
Sunday - cookies for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Crackers when I took the pain meds and stole my toddler's applesauce squeezer in church. Turned down fresh brownies at the teacher training meeting that night. Snacked on cookies and low-cal popcorn that night. I'm just glad I survived the Sabbath.
SO ready for a new week!

Katie Day 21
WOW day 21 and I have been a slacker at blogging this week! I feel like the blogging for all of us hasn't been very consistant lately and so for me that is not a good sign because when I don't blog then I don't hold myself as accountable as I should. So, let me catch everyone up on my week. I was doing really well this week. On Tuesday we took the kiddos to Disneyland and I was so well behaved! I brought cantaloupe to snack on so that I wouldn't be tempted by the yummy food all around me. Dan went to buy us Churros as is tradition cause the Disneyland churros are the BEST! and I told him to just buy 2 = one for him and one for the kiddos to share, yes I did it I DID NOT eat a churro!!! I made us all peanut butter and jelly sandwiches but with my sandwich I measured out 1/2 Tbs of PB and 1/2 Tbs of jelly and it was the perfect amount and didn't kill my calories! I made the sandwiches ahead of time and so when I got the munchies at lunch time I ate my sandwich! This preplanning also saved me money as I didn't buy lunch at Disneyland so it was a double win! By the time dinner rolled around I was hungry for some good food and not another PB&J so we went to a restaurant and I ordered a salad with light dressing! So although we went to Disneyland I was well behaved and didn't blow my diet. In fact the next day I weighed myself and I even lost a few ounces, YAY!
But then... AUGH!!! So on Wednesday morning my mom called (she lives in Wyoming) and my parents were headed to Chicago for a few days. However the weather in Chicago was really bad and their flight kept getting delayed and so to make a long story short, they came here to sunny CA instead!!! It has been such a fun trip and I am so glad that they came! However, because we have been having so much fun, I havent been keeping track of my calories since Wednesday lunch. Then on Thursday afternoon we went down to LA so that on Friday we could go to Disneyland with my parents. I was well behaved on Thursday morning and ate my oatmeal and was planning on eating fish for lunch but the fish place was closed so we went to Islands (a hamburger joint) I ordered a salad with ranch dressing on the side but I ended up using most of the dressing and my parents ordered french fries for appetizers and I ate some so I have no idea how many calories I ate on Thursday. For dinner I ate salad again but the family we stayed with made us an apple cake dessert and I didnt want to hurt any feelings so I ate a piece.
Friday morning I was going to have cheerios for breakfast but again the family we were staying with bought us blueberry muffins for a special breakfast. My kids don't eat food coloring and I didn't want to have a bad day at Disneyland and so I didn't let them eat the muffins. My mom can't eat gluten and so no one was eating the muffins and so my dad asked me to eat some so that feelings werent hurt. So I ate half of one. Again I have no clue how many calories were in half a muffin. While at Disneyland my resolve to not eat poorly was a bit weak and I ended up eating half a churro :( I tried to snack on cantaloupe but it wasn't doing the trick this time. Around 2:30 or so we were all starvingfor lunch and so we went to Downtown Disney and ate at house of blues. I was going to get a salad again but I was kinda sick of salads and so I got a French Dip Sandwich and boy was it delish! I ate half the sandwich and then took 2 bites of the other half but stopped myself cause I was full and had my Dad take my plate and put it on the other side of him. I did however eat too many sweet potato fries :( We walked all over Disneyland and California Adventure and ended up walking almost 10 miles so thats good. I figured since we walked all over and I didn't snack on too many bad things that I was probably ok, but yesterday when I weighed myself I was up a few ounces which totally defeated me :(
Lets skip to today. I had every resolve to get back on track today and I did good about my meals and calculating my calories except for this one thing and it totally bugs me that I gave in. Last night was my friends' annual cookie exchange and it is such a fun party! Everyone brings 5 doz cookies and we all bring home tons of different homemade cookies. Well due to the fact that my parents were in town I opted to not go to the exchange. But I have such awesome friends that my friend packed up a box full of cookies for me! She had her husband deliver it this morning and I didn't even attempt to resist trying the cookies :( I told myself to just take a small bite of the ones that lookes yummy so that I could have a taste but those small bites turned into multiple small bites until the cookie was gone :( Im not sure how many cookies I ended up eating but I think I had 4 or 5. AUGH!! If I hadn't eaten the cookies I would have only eaten 778 calories in food today, so yes I had 534 calories remaining but I am positive that those cookies were well over 534 calories :( On a brighter note they were YUMMY!!

Shelley: Day 19 - SO GROSS!!!
This will be a quick post. You may be wondering why I haven't been posting. One reason, a tragic and disgusting accident.
I was at work and had my cell phone (an iPhone 128g 6s, still freaking new) and when I stood up from using the facilities, I heard a plunk! My phone had managed to fall right out of my smock pocket into the dead center of the toilet. Katie knows how insane I am about germs. I have a terrible case of OCD. Anyway, after getting a glove to retrieve it, I washed it in flaming hot water and then sprayed it in a thick and very wet coat of Lysol and let it air dry.
I figured it was already doomed, I may as well not have to carry it around in it's disgusting state. It's taken me a few days, but I finally got a new one up and running. However, thanks to my husband's need to automate everything, we are beta testing the newest Nest which means the app is not from the app store but directly from the developer. Apparently, this is a serious issue if you need to restore your phone from a previous back up. Anyway, long story short, my phone can call, surf Safari (I prefer google) and text. That's about it. Thank goodness I did Apple Care. At least I was able to get a new phone for only $99.99.
I need to corner my husband long enough to get the rest of my phone working, including my LoseIt app. As soon as I do, I will be posting again. Hopefully, I'll capture him tonight. I have been eating carefully. I'm pretty good at estimating cals so I'm still on track, I just lose better when I'm counting everything!
Anyway, I will be keeping my phone on the bathroom counter at work from now on when I need to use the necessary, that's for sure. I seriously just cannot believe I did such a stupid thing. YUCK!!!
I'm glad to hear you all are still going strong. Keep up the good work!!!
Until tomorrow. . .

Heidi Day 16 Tuesday
Thought I was going to bed early last night but it was covered in clean laundry. I normally would have shoved it to the side for my husband to fold, but he would have just shoved it to the floor. And it was last week's laundry, and this week's laundry is in full swing... it had to get done. So I folded it all, and then watched TV and ate an orange, some low calorie popcorn, and three packages of fruit snacks.
Today I feel a little better. Found some ingredients to use in recipes from the Trim Healthy Mama cookbook- nutritional yeast to make my own bullion, and 85% dark chocolate to make their chocolate chip cookies.
Breakfast
Shakeology nutrition/protein shake made with unsweetened almond milk, PB2, spinach, and collagen supplement.
Lunch
deli turkey, tomato, alfalfa sprouts, dry seasoning in sprouted grain wrap
orange
Snack
Strawberry lemon slushie (1/4 cup lemon juice, 1/2 cup water, 5 frozen strawberries, 8-10 ice cubes, stevia to taste)
Dinner (almost had leftovers smorgasbord but pulled it together and made a real dinner)
Creamy Herb Chicken (altered from Trim Healthy Mama Cookbook)
2.5 pounds thawed chicken breasts
1 cup plain fat free Greek yogurt
1/2 cup mayo (used the olive oil mayo from Caitie!)
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
2 T dried parsley
1 T dried oregano
3/4 tsp mineral salt
3/4 tsp black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
Mix all ingredients together and pour over chicken. Sprinkle some Parmesan cheese on top. Cook 25 min at 425 degrees.
