Spring Break: Not Going to Relapse Damn It!!!

-
This week is my schools spring break.

I often have mixed feelings about long breaks. On one hand, I am SO freaking happy to get a break from the stressful part of my job. But then on the other hand, I miss my kids. I got a Rainbow Loom with my little sister this weekend and have made some pretty cool bracelets, and the first thing I thought was "Ooo!!! I can show the kids on Monday!!!!!......oh wait. Never mind."

The other issue is that I do NOT want to eat everything in sight. Namely, I don't want to be chillin and then all the sudden (just like I did 5 minutes ago) want to binge on candy. Like Blowpops of Mini Eggs.

At least Easter will be over soon. The mini eggs will go away soon...I am fighting that "Just go get one more bag before they go away for a year again..."

BLAH.

So far today I have made good food choices. Need to keep it up. I also need to be sure that I work out this week. I need to go to the gym today as well. I have been actually using the treadmill in attempt to be ready for this 5 k. I am pretty nervous about it though. Not sure I will be able to run...I am hoping I can at least do 2 minutes jogging and 3 walking. We'll see.

So I thought I would post another picture and stats. Here we go. 

Age: 28
Height: 5ft 6in
Starting Weight: 224 lbs 
Current Weight: 210 lbs


Short Term Goal: 24 lbs

                To Go: 10 lbs

Long Term Goal: 70 lbs
                   Lost: 14 lbs
                To Go: 66 lbs


Measurements
Arms: 14in      (15)
Bust: 40in        (42)
Hips: 46in        (47)
Waist: 33in       (35)
Butt: 50in         (51)
Thigh: *24in    (29)*

*I measure 6 inches up from the knee...not sure where I measured last time, so it's pretty different.

I am NOT happy about my boobs getting smaller. At. All.

Shawn takes my measurements properly. I will get his numbers from him the next time he measures me.

Not best the pictures to really compare. But meh. It's cool. I will take a better one now and use that for future comparison.

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.
