Inspiring Winners to Lose

So last night as I was making cupcakes for a party I couldn't help but dip my finger in the homemade frosting quite a few times and I was so sure that this morning I was going to regret it but I guess today was a day for miracles because when I woke up and got on the scale guess what I saw!
203.6!!!!!!

I know!!!! I couldn't believe it either! That's a number I haven't seen since maybe six years ago! I think that I MAY have weighed this when I moved to Boise in 2006. I'm so elated! So, full of fresh motivation I got Luke up, made him breakfast, did my light crossfit and ate my own healthy breakfast. Then I got the best present ever. I opened up BabyCenter to find that I had this wonderful message waiting for me:
"Just wanted to let you know I've really enjoyed your presence on the board lately. You've got a lot of dedication to accomplishing your goals and that rubs off!"
I LOVE my weightloss board!! What an amazing group of ladies who are a shining example of lifting each other up and helping to better each other as daughters of our Heavenly Father. I honestly started blushing when I read that and it gave me such a giddy feeling! To think that I was helping to motivate and inspire other people half a world away! The miracle of technology... So, just want to give a big shout out to all my girls on BBC, couldn't do it without you! :-D

Today's battle included trying to only eat ONE Nutella cupcake...(Also named "poop"cakes)

 It was an epic fail. I had THREE and not only that but a (tiny) slice of home made apple pie, lots of veggies with a bit of dip and and two little sandwhiches with cream cheese made from the Hawaiian sweet rolls (yum!). I felt really bad about it... But then I got home and added up all of my calories and added in what I was going to have for dinner and believe it or not I was actually under my goal for the day! I couldn't believe it! I woke up this morning so determined to be good and I felt like such a failure until I saw it in numbers. It really wasn't that bad and all the exercise I got in today really did me some good. Now for tomorrow, whatever the world wants to throw at me, I'm ready for it!

  2. Yay! I just want to say something I'm working on is NOT feeling bad if I eat 3 cupcakes (or worse!). It's most definitely not the end of the world. Just put it behind you and remember how good they tasted...yum. Hey, do you really do a plank for 1 minute? If you do, you rock. I do planks everyday and make Gracie count to 10 twice each time. She is the SLOWEST counter. She's like the worst personal trainer ever! ha.

  3. Lol thanks girls.
    Randi I think that's what the numbers help me with... They help me realize that my mental calories are a lot higher than the actual ones and that its okay to enjoy food, as with everything, in moderation. To answer your question, no, I can't do a plank for a whole minute. Right now I do fifteen seconds at a time with about five seconds in between for a quick rest. lol If she's counting longer than I'd say she sounds like a great trainer :-P

  5. Way to go! I've been trying hard not to feel like I ruined everything if I eat crappy. And usually it turns out not as bad as I think. My thing is the past few nights I've eaten at like 11:00 or 11:30 pm and I need to quit doing that even if I do stay under my calories. Lol

    Anyway, you're doing awesome!
