Woke up after a relaxing night of uninterrupted sleep {sans baby} and hurriedly packed our bags so we could get to Nanu and Grammy's to pick up little man. On the way they asked if we wanted to get brunch {of course, we were starved!} so we headed to Le Peep {our fav}.
Breakfast: egg white omelet w/ cheese, ham & green pepper, bagel w/ cream cheese, vanilla latte
Lunch: since we had brunch, I sort of skipped any type of lunch.
1/4 skinny vanilla latte while shopping at Whole Foods
Dinner: 1/2 Jimmy John's Vito sandwich with meat, cheese, lettuce, onions and vinaigarette, Diet Mt. Dew
Sampled our meal plan for the Goop Cleanse - but let me tell you this definitely wasn't a treat. I'm not sure how I'm going to survive on this rabbit food.
Water: 6 - 8oz
Exercise: nada, zip, zilch...but I felt as exhausted as I'd run a marathon after all of the running around we did to collect groceries and cook for the cleanse my sister, her hubby and I are starting this week. More to come on this absolute craziness...

A bit delayed in posting this, but it was a busy weekend! Originally Nick & I were supposed to go to a wedding out of town, but plans changed and we decided to get a hotel room downtown and hit a friend's surprise birthday party {we already had a sitter so we had to take advantage}. Remember this was my cheat day, so be prepared...
Breakfast: glass of skim milk
Beef Jerky {can you say addicted?!}
Lunch: at 1:30pm we went to DJs Dugout-Downtown before the Creighton basketball game & shared a plate of chicken nachos w/ cheese {lots of it!}, lettuce, tomatoes, jalapenos & corn chips, 2 Corona Lights
At the game, I had a draft Bud Light, a Diet Pepsi, 2 handfuls popcorn, 2 handfuls shelled peanuts. Creighton won pretty easily but it was still a great game.
Dinner: we had a hotel at Midtown Crossing so we hit Crave for a quick dinner before heading to the party. I had two glasses Pinot Noir, a cup of chicken & wild rice soup in light broth and a mixed greens side salad with goat cheese and balsamic.
At the surprise party I had two Corona's, a Diet Pepsi and lots of water - what was supposed to be a night of partying it up without having to get up with the little guy, turned into this girl just doesn't love drinking as much as she used to. {BUT I felt great the next morning....can't say that much for my hubby!}Also snacked on some pretzels and tortilla chips.
Exercise: I only got 20 minutes on the treadmill before Nick came down to get me because little man was awake and he needed some more sleep - better than nothing, but I barely got my heart rate up.

Lazy butt here didn't get out of bed to work out this morning {or at least early enough} because I forgot about an 8am meeting I had this morning...which means no workout. Ugh...
Breakfast: Skim milk with high protein slim fast, apple
Bottle Diet Mt. Dew
Lunch: it was breakfast day at work to celebrate employee service scores and I really wanted pancakes and one of those biscuits w/ the white gravy and a chocolate muffin...BUT I settled for an omelet with ham, cheese & green pepper {egg whites weren't an option & cheese was a must today}, a banana and a piece of bacon {this can only be defined as a moment of weakness b/c I don't even like bacon!}
Needed something sweet afterwards and found some laffy taffys in my office that I'd stashed when I was pregnant...stuck a cherry one in my mouth, chewed it and then spit it out because it was too hard and didn't taste right. However, I might have stumbled upon a new trick - put all of the fatty treats {that I crave} in my mouth, chew them and get some of the flavor & then spit them out so I don't retain the fat/calories {has anyone seen that SATC episode??}. I get the all the flavor and not the inevitable cellulite. Hmmm... :)
Teryaki beef jerky for a snack
Dinner: chicken noodle soup w/ crackers, chicken salad
Piece of dark chocolate w/ blueberries, cranberries & almonds
Water: 7 - 8oz
Exercise: now it's late...and I'm going to bed because if I worked out now I would be amped up and I need sleep.

Working out this morning was not in the cards...little man had a bad night with this congestion and runny nose junk that won't go away and was up quite a bit. {this is harder than I thought...}
Breakfast: skim milk w/ slim fast protein around 6am
9am egg white omelet w/ ham & green pepper, two pieces wheat toast w/ butter, fresh fruit
Lunch: at 2pm had a Healthy Choice Fresh Mixer - it was the margherita kind and really good and just the right size. Also, snuck in my Diet Mt Dew.
Smoothie with orange juice, fresh bananas & strawberries with whey protein
Dinner: chicken noodle soup w/ crackers, 2 glasses chardonnay {this was awesome after a long day...but not part of my get healthier plan}
2 handfuls Pirate's Booty White Cheddar popcorn + a handful of Baked Doritos {originally it was the popcorn...then decided I was going to grab another handful and opened up the doritos...I blame the wine for this.}
Water: 6 - 8oz
Exercise: fail....had work to finish up tonight after little man went to bed and now it's straight to bed for me too...

Little man made it a very easy night on us last night, plus it didn't hurt that we got to bed by 10pm. He slept 6 hours from 8:30pm - 2:30am, when I got up to feed him. During these morning feedings, I don't need to engage with him as much since I need him to go back to sleep {and he's usually sleeping through the bottle anyway} so I had a chance to read my new issue of Shape magazine and there was some great information in there {will share a couple tidbits that I took away later - some great reading!}.
Breakfast: had a slim fast protein shake on the way to work {not because I'm on the slimfast diet, but because I didn't have anything else good for breakfast and it was in the cupboard, plus it gives me my skim milk in the morning}. Around 9:30am I had two hard boiled eggs.
Diet Mt Dew {unfortunately my caffeine is still a must}
Late morning these little devils were delivered to my office {I always buy from my employee's kids} and were staring at me until I finally walked them down to the host office and left them for everyone else. Last year, I devoured a whole box of those lemonade cookies in a two day span...not going to risk repeating that again.
Lunch: remainder of chicken salad from dinner last night. Chicken, celery, hard boiled eggs, mustard and a dollop of light mayo - no bread or crackers.
...all I can think about is walking all the way down to the Host office to shove a couple of cookies into my mouth. Need.Will.Power.
Diet Mt Dew & teryaki beef jerky
Dinner: 1/2 vegetarian enchilada I made the other night from my Cooking Light cookbook
Water: 8 - 8oz
Exercise: drug myself out of bed by 5am for my girl Tracy Anderson...I really enjoy this workout, but find it hard to believe that after gaining 60lbs with her son a couple years ago that she has a body like that. Unless she's some type of superwoman or something...
I have to say I'm pretty impressed that I did not give in to my cookie craving...now it's out of sight, out of mind.

Around 1:30am this morning during my Cruzer feeding, my stomach was growling and I thought when I finished I would grab a glass of milk, but after I put him down exhaustion got the best of me and I couldn't drag myself into the kitchen so I made myself fall asleep. By morning, I was better.
Today was a bit of a tough day at work with back to back meetings and having to give bad news to some of my employees at work....all I could think of was getting home, kissing my son and grabbing a glass of wine to unwind.
Breakfast: Banana around 6am
9am Breakfast meeting - egg white omelet w/ ham, grn pepper {I actually got it without cheese!}, 1 piece wheat toast w/ butter & fresh fruit
Lunch: snuck in 1/2 a bowl of chicken noodle soup w/ Tony Chachere's
Dinner: made Nick mostaccoli w/ parm cheese while I feasted on chicken salad with mustard, celery and hard boiled eggs
Poured a glass of wine...had two drinks and then decided that it wasn't worth it. Poured the wine back into the bottle {classy, I know} and then got myself a big glass of skim milk.
Water: 5 - 8 oz glasses
Exercise: my alarm was set for 5am this morning, but since I didn't get much sleep last night I couldn't get up that early. Woke up at 5:30am instead and starting getting ready for work and little man ready for day care. After a busy day at work the last thing I want to do is workout...I may sneak in some abs and legs before bed...or maybe not.

The first day of the rest of my life...feeling good this morning. Didn't get up in time for a morning workout before work...little man had a bad night...very congested which kept him {and me} up quite a bit.
Breakfast: 3 cutie oranges, 2 hard boiled eggs
3/4 Bottle Diet Mt. Dew
Lunch: Mr. Goodcents ham sandwich on wheat w/ green peppers, banana peppers & mustard, BBQ Baked Lays
Dinner: one vegetarian enchilada, can Diet Mt. Dew. New Recipe {see below}! I got the new Cooking Light cookbook and decided to check out a recipe for meatless enchiladas. They were pretty yummy...next time I will use less enchilada sauce {maybe the recommended amount would've been good}. Plus all in they only took about 25 minutes.
Banana
Exercise: 2 mile run/walk {damn sideache!}, 5 hills @ Black Elk Park, Tracy Anderson Post Baby Workout
Water: 6 - 8oz {this is going to be a big focus...need more H20!}
Vegetartian Enchilada Recipe: serving size 4 enchiladas. 4 whole wheat flour tortillas. Can FF spicy refried beans. 1 cup Morningstar meatless ground. RF shredded cheese. 3/4 cup enchilada sauce. Take one tortilla and spread 3 tablespoons refried beans {leave 3/4 inch along the sides of the tortilla}. Sprinkle 1/4 cup meatless ground down the middle of the tortilla. Roll the tortilla up and place it seam down in an 8-inch glass cooking dish. Repeat with the other three tortillas. Cover with enchilada sauce and sprinkle cheese. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes or until cheese is melted. Enjoy!
All in, today was a great start to my new lifestyle. Tomorrow is Tuesday so let's see what's in store!
