Week 5 Reset/Chip Challenge #6

Week 5 Results

Weighed in at 201.9 this morning, up 2.7 from two weeks ago.  Which is unsurprising, considering the last couple weeks.  I'm thinking of it as a reset and moving on.  I really dug the breathing thing too, and will keep it in rotation.  Such a simple thing to make you feel so much more centered in any given moment.  As for Choco's challenge, loved that too. . .

Saturday:  When my nephew asked me to play outside, I said yes instead of staying inside and reading my book.  We played soccer and tossed the football, and I probably burned more calories than any of my previous elliptical sessions.
Sunday:  Got back into the oatmeal groove for breakfast, and took the time to cook a delicious and healthy Mexican casserole for supper that I could also use for lunches in the week ahead.
Monday:  Decided to log my food at the end of the day because I've been so bad at tracking lately.  Ended up pleasantly surprised that my calorie total was way under what I expected it to be.
Tuesday:  Lost day.  I basically worked until 10pm and it was just crazy the whole time.  I know I breathed at some point.
Wednesday:  Ate an apple instead of a candy bar in the afternoon.
Thursday:  Bought some orange juice because I was craving it, which happens maybe once or twice a year.  Realized my body was desperate for vitamins and made a list of fruits & veggies I love and will actually eat.  Shopping trip soon.
Friday:  Cafeteria was serving biscuits & gravy with tater tots, which I love because of my refined tastes, natch.  What did I have?  A salad.

Chip Challenge #6

This is a two-parter, folks!  I've been feeling guilty about the level of support I provide to Choco.  I know we do the blog, and yes we check in with texts and emails, but I'm bad about always bringing the conversation to me.  Not purposely, but it happens.  Choco will text that she's so hungry and instead of responding to that and offering direct support or tips, I text back that *I'M* hungry too plus craving chocolate cake plus have PMS! Commiseration is all part of it, but I've just been catching myself hijacking the conversation too many times lately.  So. . . you're going to love/hate this. . .

WEEK 6 IS CHOCO WEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Chip here will still be tracking faithfully, following the plan, etc.  But all the focus is on Cousin Choco.  I am on you like white on rice.  I will be doing detailed check-ins and making sure I know all your hopes/dreams/wishes for each day and through the week.  There might be quizzes and mental exercises.  There will definitely be daily reviews.  It is All!  About!  You!

Lest you think this is a way for me to get out of being accountable for a week (you'll still be able to see my stuff on LI and I'll catch you up on my Saturday blog), know that next week is Chip Week.  And you have the benefit of having your week first, for full revenge possibilities.
