Giant jenga, micheladas, new shoes.

Once again, it has been a while.  Luckily nothing too interesting has been happening, so my recap will be somewhat short.

Food’s first:

Long time, no blog.

Well I did it once again.

This time I even had a full day typed out almost ready to post, but I never did. This led to me, 2 days later, adding on days and becoming a recap, and then never posting it anyhow. This was over 2 months ago…

So a recap of what has been happening:

• My best friend’s bachelorette party and wedding!!!!
• A super sweaty 5k
• Vacation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I tried.

Updates, updates, updates. I originally wrote this post to publish on June 1st, but never finished or posted it. So now, a slightly revised recap!

Here’s my food:

I’m a horrible blog mom.

I missed Average Endeavors first birthday!

I saw it on my Timehop app, and thought “I should blog today!”, but I didn’t.

To be honest life has been busy, and I have not been following much of a diet. It was a fun little break, but now I am back and ready to kick it into gear! I am ready to meet my goal weight (again) and keep it that way with the maintenance eating I’ve become so great at!

I have 2 recaps for you today! First will be the Ice Age Trail 50 race that Tony and I participated in the weekend before last, and then the Rams on the Run 5k that was part of the 125th anniversary celebration of my K-8 school! Along with that, some goals!

So first, just like all other recaps, here is what I’ve been eating:

Birthday Weekend Recap!

Another recap! Not much has been happening, so I only really have my birthday weekend to touch on!

Here’s another large collage of food I’ve eaten!

Races, concerts, and of course: Food and Beer.

Hello, strangers!

It’s been a long time, somewhere around a month. I have been enjoying everything, running my butt off, eating and drinking it back on, and not feeling badly for it. I have a few larger “events” that I will recap on, but first, here is a ton of the food I ate:

Definitely a trend of french toast, pizza, and beer. I guess that goes to show my love for carbs.

So since I’ve been gone, I’ve been tracking on both Weight Watchers and MyFitnessPal. On weekends, or any days that I don’t really limit myself, I stuck to just MyFitnessPal, that way I could see my final weekly deficit. I had a couple of bad weeks where I ate more than I burned total, but last week I managed to break almost even, burning just a bit more.

I think I am pretty much done with Weight Watchers at this point. Days with my long runs, I need more food than what that has to offer, and the limits on sugar seems to cause me to plunge into binges of sweets way too often. I am back to my goal of eating healthily, and keeping an eye on my deficit to not only make sure I don’t eat to much, but to make sure I eat enough. I have been still using the Weight Watchers tracker to assure that at least I am eating light for most of the day.

So now for some recaps:

Having trouble getting back into things.

So much for cleaning it up for the rest of the weekend. Lots changed, and I did a final blow out before the start of the next week. Here’s a quick recap of the remaining bad choices, and then my last couple of good days! I won’t be including smartpoints for foods Saturday and Sunday, because most of it was estimates, and I truly just don’t feel like dwelling on it.

Saturday

It started well. I woke up, quickly had a piece of toast with peanut butter and banana, then met Tony at the trails. I did 7 mi in 78 minutes. I had a strawberry cheesecake Quest Bar in the car, and then drove home.

Dealing with unplanned eating

Today has a theme! It has to do with eating spontaneously. Sometimes things happen, and going home and eating the same lunch or dinner that was planned isn’t number 1 on my list of things to do.

Wednesday

I woke up, not expecting anything different than a usual work day. I made oatmeal with pumpkin puree and maple syrup, and had a piece of toast with pumpkin puree mixed with just a bit of peanut butter and syrup on the side. 6 smartpoints.

My long, splurgy, St Patrick’s weekend recap!

Saturday

I woke up with all intentions of eating, shopping, running, and then coming home and getting ready before waking Tony up early to go to the city. It started with me re-weighing in, since yesterday didn’t make much sense. I was right, it was just a fluctuation of some sort, and I was down .2 lbs from last week, rather than up .8. Afterwards I made blueberry pancakes with 1/2 cup Kodiak Cake mix for breakfast. 5 smartpoints.

Rough week.

Another week flew right by! I’m not entirely against March going quickly. Tony gets off of his midnight shift starting in April, which also brings a concert we’ve been wating for, one of the races I’m very excited for, and MY BIRTHDAY! I shouldn’t get ahead of myself, there are still almost 3 weeks left…

Tuesday

Tuesday morning was a rushed one. I made oatmeal, and of course it blew up all over the microwave. I added pumpkin puree, pecans, and calorie free syrup. 4 smartpoints total, because I took a bit of oats out, considering they were scraped off of my microwave and all over the bowl.
