Ok, so I have been eating horribly and barely exercising for most this week. And my weight is showing it. Although I must admit that I thought it would be a lot more terrifying this morning. I am sad that I allowed myself to get back over the 110 mark after FINALLY getting below it, but it is what it is. No sense in being mad about the "should haves" when I can focus on the "what I am going to do"

I have managed to stay away from wine, but then I replaced the wine with tacos. Tacos are delish. When I first found out that I could have gluten, one of the hardest things was finding out that Taco Bell was barely considered real food and had wheat filler in EVERYTHING. I was crushed. So I learned how to make my own tacos.

I make a bean/rice filler in a large batch (sometimes I add lean ground meat) out of white rice, black beans (or whatever I have in the cabinet- so far there doesn't seem to be a bad type of bean for this dish), some fat-free refried beans, and a ton of taco seasoning. Throw everything in a large skillet/pot/whatever and add the appropriate amount of water for the rice + a half a cup and let simmer for 20 minutes. Then I let it sit for 10 minutes while I bake white corn tortillas in the oven (thank you Pinterest). I then separate some of the batch and add ot taco sauce, and crushed red pepper because I think that is how tacos should taste and hubby thinks I am insane.

Granted these are healthier tacos that don't use any oil and aren't fried but thanks to stress I can sit down and eat my body weight in these things. They are soooo addicting.

Ok, not my body weight but enough that makes a normal person wonder if I have a hollow leg. <--- that is not an exaggeration.

Yeah- I went through a big batch and a half of the previously mentioned taco filling (which also makes awesome omelet and pepper filling too BTW- we are such lazy cooks!!)in four days. With only a little help from hubby.

This monkey has better eating habits than I have had for most this week. Yup, I am being showed up by a monkey. Awesome. Still, I like to think that if the monkey had the option to pig out on tacos he would forget that bananas even existed.

Yesterday was a new day though, and I ate healthy, ran almost five miles (9 minutes 15 seconds per mile) and slept well. And I had tacos. I can't help it- mashed potatoes, french fries, tacos, potato salad.... these are all my comfort foods I need my comfort foods, they make me feel better. The problem is I need to stop after the freaking dozenth taco LOL!!!

I will be traveling Sunday through Thursday- and hopefully this trip will solve a lot of my stress... any nice thoughts or happy wishes sent my way would be greatly appreciated. I will still have internet connection but who knows how much time I will actually have.

Hopefully my mood will be more like...

... by the time that I get back. I won't be able to run, but I may be able to do some exercising in the hotel room. And I am hoping to eat healthy the entire time.

Yeah, we will see how that goes.

In other news, I have decided that I am going to open my very own Etsy shop!! I am still working out what I exactly will be selling, but so far I have decided on stitch markers (I have been addicted to making these really cute robot ones but I realized I kept making them even though I only need one or two at a time.... oops) and then I will be selling hand-crocheted purses and blankets as well. That is as far as I have gotten- we will see how it goes.

Things I am happy about today:
- A good night's sleep
- Being crafty makes me happy
- Pinterest
- Coffee
- Good friends
- Warm weather
- Having the right shade of lipstick in my purse totally on accident
- Running

Stress is horrible! Between both hubby and I looking for new jobs and trying to move to a different state, and being able to afford all of this, I am just stressed to the point where I want to pull my hair out!!

I stepped on the scale this morning and discovered that I had miraculously lost over 3 pounds- ish, that is a lot of bloat. Since I normally take about two or three days to even out I will not be recording my weight until tomorrow or Thursday, and if the stress doesn't completely demolish my diet it will be a miracle.

What I need is a random hand to give me glasses of wine...

Seriously, where do I get one of those?

There was no running last night. There was budgeting. And wine. And more budgeting. Budgeting would be so much easier if I were rich. Anyone else stumble across that realization?

What I am happy about today:
- Wine (don't judge me)
- Coffee
- the fact that air fare is now cheaper than driving
- Etsy.com
- Running
- This person's site, she is such and inspiration and she is always so freaking happy!!!

Happy Monday everyone!! Did you all have a fantastic weekend?

I did :)

Friday night hubby and I stayed in and I did crafty stuff while drinking beer and watching Mob Wives. Hubby was drinking, watching me and making a drinking game out of Mob Wives. He was a tad fuzzy on the exact rules, but this is what I was able to figure out:

You take a drink every time ...
- ... someone says "It's about me"
- ... someone says "I hate drama"
- ... every time there is hair pulling
- ... Renee freaks out about crumbs (or something equally ridiculous)
- ... Karen tries to start something because she is bored

Yeah- we are classy like that. I did not run on Friday.

Saturday I ran almost five miles, with an average time of 8 minutes 34 seconds per mile. I was busy with crafty stuff still... hehehehe, I was inspired by Lindsey with her art club to get off my butt and do something with my crafts so I was busy scheming and playing all weekend- I will let you all know what I was up to in a day or so :) Partially because I want to be all secretive.... mainly because I am too tired to write much more. But there is a picture below that is a result of Friday night:

At least one person will know what those are! LOL

Sunday I had a family dinner, at Olive Garden which meant wine and pasta. But since this is the last time I will see my little brother for who knows how long I didn't care- I ate the pasta (all of it, but at least I ordered a lunch size portion) and drank my wine. It was so much fun to see everyone!

Sunday I also ran five miles. And, drum roll please, my average time was 7 minutes 40 seconds per mile!!! It is a new personal best and I am sooooo happy!

I stepped on the scale and saw how much bloat the beer, pasta, and wine added to my body. Seriously gross- I was not impressed. Good thing today is a new day!

Marlow is not impressed by Mondays.

He is not really impressed by much though, so I am not worried.

Have a wonderful Monday everyone!!

XOXOXO

[EDIT: I forgot to do my happy list today!]
