Well, I hope everyone had a good New Year's! Mine was really fun besides trying to calculate all the different foods I ate to make sure I didn't go over my calorie maximum. We played games with my husband's family. The kids ran around until almost midnight 😲. It was a lot of fun!
That's the hard part about eating healthier, isn't it? Parties, holidays, social events, they really challenge your will power. It's like you know you're doing good and that you shouldn't eat it, but damn it's yummy and everyone is eating lots of food, right? Well that may be true, but it's probably not the best mental talk to have with yourself. I decided that I'd go into the party with the mantra of small portions of things, that way I'd be able to have a little of everything and no sweets. I decided to drink a couple of hard ciders instead of eating sugary goods. This proved difficult after the cookies, cake, cookie cake, and brownies were brought out!! But, I did it and stayed strong! Woohoo! One point for Kayla!
Today was actually really good. I got in 90 ounces of water! I tried a new recipe for lunch, crispy buffalo cauliflower and it's husband approved!!

These were awesome!! They were crispy, yet soft inside, and spicy! We paired it with the leftover shrimp from my kid's lunch. It was a delicious and different lunch. I'm so glad my husband liked them because now I'll make them more often!
Then I prepped for my lunches for work this week. I decided to cook up brown rice, various veggies (cauliflower, broccoli, sweet potatoes, and carrots), with sauteed chicken sausage. This has been my go-to lunch this week and I figured it'd be a good lunch for going back to work. I roast my veggies with olive oil, dill, garlic, onion powder, and rosmary on them. They taste delicious! This will help me stay on track for this week at work.
I got my workout in this afternoon as well. I decided to switch things up a bit and did a couple of country heat workouts over the last couple of days. These are fun, cardio workouts that incorporate country music. I don't love the music, but I like the workouts. They were fun to do again. My challenge group doesn't officially launch for another week or so for 80 day obsession, so I'm just doing some random workouts each day.
I asked my husband today if he wanted to do the 80 day obsession workouts with me and I think he's going to do it! Fitness is not a problem for him. He's very fit and has an excellent metabolism. It's the opposite of me actually. But, I really enjoy working out with him and I think it'll help me be accountable if he's also working out with me. I thought that getting up at 4:45 am would deter him from wanting to do it, but I guess he really wants to do it too! I'm so stoked!
