Well, today was a not so good day, I have found myself being distracted by things that consume my time. I love karaoke, and my sister introduced me to this karaoke app, I spent the majority of the day sitting around singing songs instead of trying to accomplish my steps goal. I decided to delete it this evening. As far as my eating, I did good today. It just seems as though satan is trying to find any way he can to divert me, to sway me off my path. I have swayed, but I will get back on track. I need to stay focused on my goals, it's when I allow myself to become distracted that I get off track and then the emotional baggage starts piling on, I have also found myself not being as engrossed with my Lord as I was. Another big reason for my set back. But, no worries! It's just time to stand back up, dust myself off and take off again.

Meals:

Breakfast: apple/ water

Lunch: salad with ranch and bacon bits with an apple/ acv water

Supper: a piece of fish with a little rice, a piece of hamburger, 1 piece of deer steak and a biscuit, broccoli with cheese/ acv water

Snacks: apple, I was loving me some apples today lol

Well, my poor friend is still stranded in Allensville, so no devoted fitness for us today. My poor mom couldn't get her car out, so I took her to work this morning and then the girls and I went to the gym. BOY did that feel good! I need a dark room with a screen that simulates jogging outside with wonderful ambient sounds....hmmm, dreamy!! I will SO be doing that once Spring is finally HERE!  It also feels good that I am actually caught up on my blog! I do not like getting behind. It always seems like I can't ever find the right time to come back and sit down and just spend some time on here. However, my worst depressive self comes out when I fall behind on things, I just start feeling so overwhelmed and it just weighs on me like a TON of bricks man. I have REALLY got to stay on top of this thing. On another note, my house is mostly clean all the time now, instead of the other way around. I am really liking the fact that I have the energy and the initiative to keep things cleaned up and looking nice. Now I do still have some clutter issues, but I am slowly working through them....I think lol. Either way, LOADS better than where I was. No church this evening with everything still being so slushy outside. SO many people are constantly getting stuck in this mess. Earlier while we were at the gym, we seen 5 semis stuck....smh....
It's hard to believe that tomorrow is weigh in day!!

Breakfast: energy bar, apple, banana/ spring water

Well, last night we got a lot of sleet and snow, so no gym for us :( We have snow drifts around our house that are like 3-4 ft! ( I know all my northern friends....we are a bunch of weenies, lol) I seem to be in a bit of a slump....particularly with keeping up with my blog and being as strict as I was with my eating. I am still eating good, but I have added a lot of "whites" back in, or not necessary "added" them back in, I'm just not controlling myself and eating them. Also with my fitness pal. Though I do think I am going to take a break from it, it just got real annoying trying to enter everything I ate on there, then on here, and also using my Striiv..... So I'm going to quit using that for now. I'm just going to focus on eating healthy and exercising and using the Striiv app. Too bad there isn't an app that could just count your calories as they hit your stomach lol....

Meals:

Breakfast: 3 biscuits, 1 piece of sausage/ chocolate milk

Lunch: salad with ranch, apple/water

Supper: taco night! I had a plates of tortilla chips w/ meat and cheese and 1 taco/ acv water

Exercise:

nothing worthy of mentioning....just some housework.

Today was a great day! The kids and I went down to the lake and hiked along the Center Furnace and the Hematite Lake. Emma did so well with walking on the path. It was a bit of a challenge at first, but she soon got the hang of it. After we got back to the truck, we sat down at one of the picnic tables and ate lunch. Then we went and moseyed through the Elk and Bison Prairie. It was great! Then we met up with Eric(he had to work) and went down to devil's elbow and started a nice campfire. Then we had a wonderful supper at Cracker Barrel and then headed home :)

Breakfast: banana, cereal bar, and an apple

Lunch: ham and cheese sandwich with kale chips
