Week Four and I'm back

Weekly Check-In:
Week Four fared much better than Week Three, thankfully.  I have to admit I didn't pull my S#%$ together until Monday, but I at least got it back together.  Since Monday I've been on track and trying to do well.

Things I Loved This Week - 
Seeing People Post Recipes -  I have a few friends who posted some new recipes online.  I love this because I am always looking for something new to try and work into our meal rotations. Please, if you have recipes to share - do so!  There are people out there like me that are saving them!

Skinny Pop Popcorn - This is a super great low calorie snack.  It kind of gives you that - I'm getting more bang for my buck feeling.  I slowly eat it piece by piece to make it last longer - haha.  It comes in a variety of flavors and the best part is the flavors are great.  I mean even my dog likes it.
Week Successes - 

Getting my ass back on track in general.  Basically trying this week.
Tracking my food on MyFitnessPal. - I swear when you track your food it is a HUGE factor in your success.  Sometimes it's amazing when I log something, I didn't realize how many calories were in it until I log it.  Tracking your food makes you very aware - which is a good thing I think.
Drinking lots of water!  - Sometimes getting water in is hard.  I've also been bringing tea for lunch too - so trying to limit my soda intake.  Keep in mind if I had any soda, it was one a day - but trying to cut back even on that one a day.
My kid eating what I made. - If you are a parent, you get me on this.  I mean he could tell me today his favorite food is grilled cheese and I could make it tomorrow and he'd be all like, "I hate grilled cheese."  So, this week when we made tacos and he ate it without any complaints I chalk that up as a major success. Kid eats dinner, mom gets up from table like Mic Drop.  I understand this may not be weight related - but it's a success dammit.

Week Misses - 

Could have put in a few more workouts. 

Recipes to Share - 

Reese's Peanut Butter Banana Loaf - Do I even need to say why this was so good? The name speaks for itself!  One note: I used Reese's stuffed with Pieces - because why wouldn't I?  
Well, I have to admit I'm a little nervous going into the weekend.  A long holiday weekend can easily throw some obstacles my way.  Here's hoping that even if I go over my calories or over indulge some - that for the most part of the weekend I stay the course.
