Last week I was on a sort of vacation. By this I mean I am a live in nanny for my sister and brother in law and my sister had to go to the mainland for training. Since my nephew is only 5 months and is still breast feading he had to go with her. So I had a break from the little squeaker and my sis for about 10 days. During this time is when I signed for the 4% loss bet, which I of course was like psh you got this. I ended up being sick for most of the time they were away and the days I felt better I did two 5k's back to back(what can I say I am a gluten for punishment). During that window of time I lost 5 lbs which I lost 4 before my weigh in, bummer. But I made an effort to buy organic and non processed foods during my time alone.
I picked them up late last night skipping my planned run because their flight came in around 9pm. Of course flying all day with a baby and having to miss food because of time/convinence my sister was hungry. We ended at McDonalds and split a 2 cheese burger combo. I justified this by saying well I hadn't eaten since lunch because I was to busy cleaning and getting the house ready for their return. But you know that voice in your head that is like "WO heffa what you doing?" was screaming away as I ate the worst fast food known to main for you(tastey yet horrible). By that time of night it was to late to cook and if I cooked I would have had to cook two different things since my sister isn't a paleo person(eating different diets is always a challenge).
So today we are getting back in the groove of our normal day and I find myself getting back into the groove of my normal eating and activity habbits. Eating noodles with italian dressing, ranch with carrots, and peanut butter with apples(paleo diet all processed sauces, dressings, peanut butter, and flour pasta are a no, no). I did make paleo apple crumble, which is delicious, so I could have healthier treats. Also I made a paleo based meal for dinner, I posted a picture on the group feed. But I talked myself out of going on my run/walk tonight even though I had ample time to go. Why? I am only hurting myself.
Tomorrow is going to be a challenge. My nephew is trying to get back on his weekly schedule and back in sink with this time zone. I am still trying to figure out how to get back on the same routine, but not at the same time, for me. I have been researching physical activites to do with a 5 almost 6 month old, since I am not a mom going to mommy and me work outs are just akward. Pinterest is about to get some searching for work outs to do with a baby. I plan to do my squats tomorrow but I am thinking I may strap on the ergo and do weighted baby squats, he probably would like that. The eating part is going to become hard again as well since I am the one who cooks but my sister is the pickier one/eh on paleo one. Sadly I can't wait for my brother in law to get back from deployment so I can have someone else who will eat some of the stuff I eat. lol. Also I am the one who is willing to pay for better for you food while she is the budget based shopper. Just cause it is a leafy green doesn't necessarily mean it's good for you.
I may be getting back to the daily grind tomorrow but I will be challenged to adapt it to a better daily grind. I have to keep it moving.
