Day 3, still going strong

Well I am on day 3 of my Advocare 24 day weight loss challenge.  So far so good.  I'm drinking enough water I could drown, I'm eating right and every few hours to ensure I don't get starving and binge, and I'm taking all my supplements like a good little girl :)  I've got a diet buddy from church and with our Advocare coach we're staying on track. 

I've made some good stuff this week - had some grilled chicken salads and some chicken in the crockpot with some asparagus yesterday.  Today we had a un-stuffed cabbage roll recipe (basically chopped up cabbage instead of smushing stuff in a roll) that was pretty good.  I'm still working on  finding good stuff to eat for snacks.  So far I've got fruit with nuts or nut butters, occasionally a Greek yogurt, veggies with hummus, and popcorn.  I've recently started to get back on Pinterest so I've been hoarding recipes there to find some new ones. 

I almost forgot I have had a slight "injury", and it is quite sad if I do say so myself.  I pulled a hamstring hoisting myself off the couch so many times because of how much water I drank and how many times I had to get up to pee.  Yes, I hurt myself getting up to pee.  I feel like a 90 yr old lol.  Try not to laugh.  :)

I weighed in on Monday - ugh.   I'm lighter than my last doc appt but that's because I gave up diet coke about a week and a half ago.  I love diet coke :(, but it was needed.  I took my before pics and did all my measurements and stuff, and being the spreadsheet crazy lady that I am, I have it all organized so that I can keep track of how many inches I lose all over - from my neck to my fat roll above my waist lol.  I also have my goals listed, some concrete, some more of a gray area.  My ultimate goal is to be down to 165 lbs - and I have a LOOOOOONG way to go.  Here is a snippet of my other goals in case you're curious:

To be able to shop in normal stores, not Lane Bryant, Avenue or Torrid

To be able to wear a tank top in public without looking like someone from people of Walmart videos

To not need the a/c and/or fan all year long in the car/at work

To be able to go on a long walk with my kids without being in pain afterwards

To manage and possibly get rid of my diabetes

To be able to dress up without looking frumpy

Now, as for my medical issues....

Since my last post I have done a home sleep study - that was interesting - weird blue machine strapped to my head and suction-cupped to my forehead and I had to keep it on all night long 2 nights in a row.  I was supposed to get my results yesterday but doc was called into surgery, so tomorrow afternoon as long as they don't close due to snow, I'll know then.

It's sad when you are in GA and everything shuts down for snow but there aren't enough plows here to take care of the roads properly so probably better that way.  I heard on the news that there were 20 plows in the metro area ready and waiting to clear the highway and just had to laugh.  I come from up north where there are 3-4 plows on any given section of the highway at a time during a storm.  they drive at an angle, one diagonally behind the other so they make a giant diagonal line across the highway to clear it all at once and the best and safest spot you can possibly drive in (if you don't mind rocks flying at your car) is right behind them.  And here we have 20, total lol.

This is what today looked like :)  My kid had fun, as did Daddy :)  (The snowman is his lol).

And school is already cancelled tomorrow, no idea how the roads will be, so either I'll be at the office while hubby is home, or I'll have a fun filled day of children screaming and playing while I try and work at home.   Fun times :).
