Okay, so I decided NOT to write about the move from hell...maybe later. The thought of writing about my horrific nightmare made me cringe every time I looked at my laptop. For now, I want to put that disaster behind me.
Plain and simple, I fell of track, and I seem to find myself eating more junk than normal. I know the stress from the move threw me into an abyss of atrocious eating coupled with no daily workouts. I saw some old ugly habits rear their head:
- eating out
- eating without thinking and making bad choices
- not tracking my food intake
And Saturday, for some strange reason I craved a corn dog. I considered Sonic as a solution to my craving, but I told my inner saboteur...NO! But then the thought occurred to me...DUH, make your own corn dog! AND I did.
Hot Diggity Corn-Dogs!
1 box of Jiffy Cornbread Mix
1 egg
1 cup 1/3 milk
Hebrew National Hot Dogs
Break it down:
- Make the corn bread mix according to the directions on the box.
- Cut the hot dogs.
- Spoon the corn bread mixture into the wells of the Redi Set Go.
- Add a piece of hot dog to each well.
- Close the top on the Redi Set Go and cook for 7 minutes.
- BAM!
So, my plan to find my way back...take my weight loss endeavor one day at a time. Today I exercised for the first time in over a week and a half...ZUMBA!!!!!! Zumba gave me the opportunity to pop and drop it like it's hot! Tomorrow I look forward to more hip poppin FUN!
I also set two small goals for this week:
- ABSOLUTELY NO EATING OUT!
- Drink at least six 8 oz. glasses of water
I'm off like a dirty shirt. I need to focus on getting at least 8 hours of sleep. I read an article today in Newsweek stating a lack of sleep leads to weight gain. The article reinforced something I already knew...G'Night!
Your goals for the week are simple and to the point. I think that they are very doable and you should have no problem. All the best!
ReplyDeleteLove, Love, Love Zumba!!
ReplyDeleteEven though you haven't been to the gym I bet that you got a lot of exercise from moving!
Those corn dogs look yummy. And really, really smart to come up with a way to fit them into your plan.
ReplyDeleteI really want to try Zumba but I'm too cheap to join a gym (and it would take too much time away from my kids).
moving is exercise- so don't think you didnt burn a few of those meals out off! :) Yum to the corn dogs, YEAH for the zumba class- YOU GO GIRL! :)
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear that the move didn't go so well. Good luck with your goals.
ReplyDeleteFantastic goals. And a yummy recipe too. Did you put the points in there? I have to go back and look.
ReplyDeleteThose look freaking awesome!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear your finally move in. :) Moving is always so stressful, why can't it be a stress free adventure. But whenever other people are involved, it's just out of your control. Those corndogs look really good. I still haven't invested in one of those redi set go machines yet.
ReplyDeleteEverytime I read a post or comment of yours I think about you "missing your calling as a stripper" and this was no different! LOL. I haven't been to Zumba in a while...you're making me miss it!
ReplyDeleteHello! I just joined your blog - the comments you left on my "Can You Really Lose Weight Eating This?" made me smile :) I'm actually eating a low sugar/glycemic/carb "diet" which isn't a diet for me at all because of the diabetes. This is the only way to keep my insulin and sugar in check :) I've already lost 6 lbs eating "those" foods and I think it's just crazy that it works.
ReplyDeleteAnyhoo-thanks for stopping by!
