Accountability ~ Day 75?? I missed a few days

Not even sure where I messed it all up - besides knowing that I haven't been writing I also know that I messed up my days... I have 15 days left of my "journey" so I guess that means this is day 75.

I have been fighting a bit of a cold lately - and that might have messed up my energy a bit. I think life has just happened a bit lately and things have gotten a bit off. The GOOD news is is that even though I haven't been following the program and the DVDs exactly I know I haven't been missing workouts - just not following the program exactly. (subbing this for that, etc - I guess I wanted some variety)

I only have 15 days left of workouts and work (not counting today) and this week has been a bit weird...
~fighting a cold
~busy day off (photo shoot canceled due to wet mud)
~ stood up by my friend for lunch - no big deal but could have gotten some more things done if I didn't wait for him
~ Had a rough night with a friend of mine who projected a lot of her unhappiness onto me and I let it happen.
~ Feeling overwhelmed with everything I need to get rid of and not knowing...

But lets see what I can remember - my 30 days of no cookies no cakes no sweets no treats were up and since there was no photo shoot i didn't push it to Feb 3rd. I am glad I did it, I learned, and know that I CAN and that it isn't that big of a deal to not have them. There was maybe only 4-5 tough days - but I managed through them. I plan on keeping a closer eye on my cookie intake from now on :)

Tuesday: I made Vegan cookies - still not as good as Red Velvet - but tasty.
Wed: Had my cheat day - blueberry muffins, vegan chocolate chip cookies
thursday: had cookies left over so had them, was also give some clif bars - need to get rid of those.

Other than that, my eating has been clean - not too many other cheats as mostly have fruit, veggies, whole grains and lean proteins in the house.

My workouts haven't been as intense... not sure what is going on... mostly mental I think... staying up too late watching netflix, letting projections get to me, etc.

I have some good leads on Kipper and I believe that something will pan out for sure with the leads I have. She met a dog today and Sunday she meets another. If those don't work out then Megan's mom might be interested in her.

I had a nice chat with my financial advisor about moving some money around, feeling confident about my future (at least for the most part).

I need to remember that the majority of the people that I speak to think that what I am doing is one of the coolest things.  That I am living my life unreasonably, and I love it.

We'll see if I can get back on track with my eating... I have also been eating out a bit more. some of the choices I have made while eating out

Chipolte: rice, black beans, chicken, salsa (tomato, corn, medium)
Sweet Tomatoes: Two plates of salad, muffins, soup, 1/3 sweet potato, chocolate milk
Red Velvet: Veggie panini w/ baked "fries",
Grand Lux: Greek Salad, BBQ Salmon, chicken lettuce wraps (not all on the same day)

Also been trying some other bars from whole foods - snacking a bit more... hmmm...

I guess that is it for now... time to grab a snack, head to the grocery store and then go look for some wood floors... better get busy NOW!
