Great Balls of Chicken!

Sometimes I just blow myself away with the wit I come up with.

So today was kind of an "eh" day. It was pretty crummy out so it kind of brought my mood down to the point that I just got back into bed after a couple hours. Breakfast was two eggs with ground beef and a couple pieces of mango. Lunch was the clam chowder with a pork chop. Dinner was turkey and squash (which was made by RIT and therefore not very good). I'd technically brought dinner with me (chicken meatballs, recipe to follow) and banana pancakes, but I wasn't very enthused by the meatballs, ergo, I went with the turkey and had the banana pancakes for dessert.

I definitely think I overdid it with the fruit a bit today. But that mango was so good! I stayed pretty clean but the sugar intake was a little higher than I expected. It's not even like I was craving it. It just was a good side with whatever I was eating. Definitely need to watch that in the upcoming days. I only have 10 days left in the challenge. I'd really like to lose at least 5 more pounds in that time.

I made a couple "life" goals today. One is to lose 5 more pounds by the end of the challenge, which is March 30th. And then I'd like to lose another 20 by the beginning of summer. With the way I've starting shedding weight, I'd like to think both of those goals are fairly attainable. To get down another 5 pounds before the end of the challenge means I gotta lose half a pound a day. Seems reasonable to me. Although after today I feel like I put another 5 pounds on. Not amused.

I'm joining the Biggest Loser challenge through Henrietta which starts on April 1st. I know I just keep going from challenge to challenge but it'll give me another thing to look forward to, especially with getting ready for the Catalyst Games and wanting to lose another 20 pounds. This challenge is essentially based on the TV show. Lose the biggest percentage of weight in whatever way you can. I forget how long it goes for. I think it's 6 or 8 weeks. I've also started getting some interest on the Hero Rush and getting people on board with coming and running with me. Definitely very excited about that.

Very excited for my new goals. I feel like they are very attainable with the way I've been feeling lately. I just hope I can keep it up. I feel like my body is starting to get in its stride with this whole thing, which is exciting to me. In the beginning I could feel the muscle coming in, but not really the fat burn. It could all still be entirely attributed to my fruit intake. But I feel like it's more than that. Losing weight has always been tough for me because of my hormones, so I really wasn't expecting to be losing pounds per day and I wasn't expecting to be winning any awards with this challenge, but it's been a good challenge for myself to see if I'm strong enough to dedicate myself fully to something like this. Turns out that I am and I'm running with it while I can!

Alright, bedtime, at work again tonight so trying to get as much sleep as I can.

G'night all!
