overcompensating

Has anyone else found that when you're trying really hard to stay away from one thing that you unknowingly find something else to substitute for it? And its usually not a good thing? A while back I read a blog about not eating sugar and it had some things to watch out for along the way. I didnt even notice till a couple days ago but as Ive been staying away from sugar, i've been gravitating towards any other form of junk that I can find. Steve's mini bags of chips for his lunches, more carbs like bagels and cereal, and i'm not gunna lie...I picked some m&m's out of some trail mix yesterday haha! So my goal for this next week is to be all around healthy, not just staying away from sugar but also eating more veggies and fruit and less pastas and carbs. If you have any snacks that you love, leave me a comment! I'd love to try them!

Movie update: Steve and I went on our date to see Beauty and the Beast and we were a touch late which is also a great way to avoid the desire to stop and get snacks before going in. However this theatre has waiters that come to your seat so I gave Steve some puppy dog eyes and begged for a Coke Slushieee (my favorite)....without looking at me he told me "they were all out of Coke juice and the machine was out of order." He's an awful liar, but needless to say I did not get my sugar fix but I still had a great time. Now if only I can avoid the cadburry eggs that are hidden somewhere in my room. I cant disclose the location because Steve reads this blog too ;) mwahahah

Did I survive Easter?

Okay, so here's the deal. I would say that I MOSTLY survived Easter while being sugar free. Im being totally transparent here with you guys. We had a delicious dinner lots of salad, roasted veggies, meat...mac and cheese *cough*......and deviled eggs because...EASTER DUH. Anyways you wanna know how I survived dessert...well we (my sister-in-law and myself) are both trying not to eat sugar SO we, in all of our wisdom and me in my weak self control, decided not to make any! BOOM! But you know the kids still had a little Easter egg hunt.....and where there are Easter eggs...there will be candy. There was my cute little daughter sitting on a swing, eating some mini peanut butter cups and the primal animal in me took over. I prowled my way over to her swing and plucked a mini peanut butter cup from her basket in a way that only the Grinch on Christmas could have done. You better believe it tasted good. I told myself...

The Decision

Ive gone over it in my head about half a dozen times. What is it that makes me feel like junk....then it hit me...its JUNK! I've tried a lot of different dieting trends over the past couple years after having Lucy. Ive tried to find my groove and find that version of myself that I used to really feel comfortable with. Its been hard. Exercise has always been a pretty good constant for me but the food that I eat has not been constant at all....unless being consistently inconsistent counts. Recently I tried something that really made me feel great! I ate strictly paleo for about a month and finally dropped weight that I could never lose and I felt way more energetic and overall happy and at peace. It was really hard to do consistently but it paid off and I have since eased back on it a bit, but I have taken away a lot of recipes and meals that I can and do incorporat...

I ate my feelings yesterday. That is all.
