A bit better

-
So I have lost 6 of the 8 pounds I gained back that fateful weekend in Houston. I am neck and neck in second place, and will be able to slide back into first place within two weeks, because I am BALLER. yea. That's right Bri. Bring it!! (With tons-o-love)

We made the pork chops and yummy potato thing tonight. The only problem is I got back from work late and I am MEGA hungry and we still have 12 minutes and 45 seconds left until the potatoes are done. I am worried I am going to try to eat EVERYTHING. So I am drinking some water. And I have a small snack to tide me over. I just need to be sure to eat slowly.

I am finally not having to travel for the remainder of the challenge, so that should greatly help. I am starting a work out class only 4 days before the challenge ends, so I am going to need to step up the working out now so it can help me loose more weight.

So the only thing left on the list of cooking is the chili and butternut squash lasagna rolls. I need to defrost,  add water to the chicken noodle soup, then portion out servings. Right now it is in bulk and desperately needs more broth. I put too many noodles in it. Damn noodles. they always ruin everything when it comes to me making soup.

Travis has lost like 17 pounds or something. It's a good thing that he didn't pay into the challege. He would be KILLING us. He has lost 8.9% of his total weight....what.the.fuck. Don't get me wrong, super happy for him. But I am competitive and he is killing me...and his self control is about 50 billion times better than mine. So...yay for him.

Shit be crazy.

In other news, my mother gave Travis and I some pot holders. The are adorable. Someone made them for her as a wedding present when my step father and her got married.

They do look like they have balls on their face.

I'm just sayin.

I had a bad Sunday and Tuesday this past week, so I really wanted to be good the rest of the week. Friday I was sadly not good. I could kick myself. Several things happened... Ok so at school I am putting on a abridged production of the musical Annie. It is about 30 minutes long with nice simple choreography and songs. We had auditions on Friday, and those went REALLY well and the actual audition part was fun. The casting part, however, was not fun. Two things happened during this process: 1) A parent brought us in lunch, which were personal pizzas. 2) I was stressed out of my mind because I was going to have to make some hard decisions that I knew would make some of the kids sad, which in turn made me sad. So with these two things together, I proceeded to stress eat almost the whole personal pizza.I don't even remember eating it. I ate while we made the hard decisions. Terrible idea. I ended up having 6 people who didn't get the parts they really wanted. I announced

Shit 'bout to get real: The Insides of Stress Eating

So the past 24 hours have been torture. It's not what you think. I am not having stupid cravings fueled by psychotic dreams of Cheese recently. I have eaten really well, even gone to the gym and worked out. I didn't gain too much weight after this week of "I get to eat more loosely since the challenge is over and I should reward myself."...honestly though most of the cheating came from the fact that I was STELLAR with food last week, not giving into any cravings or allowing myself an inch.That kind of behavior usually results in my going crazy not long after, eating all the chocolate in sight (see Cadbury Mini Eggs of Shame below...) Anyways... The torturous aspect comes from the fact that my anxiety has reared its ugly head, despite taking my meds on the regular. Last night was a lot of tossing and turning, laying in bed obsessing over work, the stresses that come with it, and other life junk. I haven't obsessed like this on regular meds in...well...ever.
