This week has been really good, I think I have been eating well. The thing is, no matter how hard I try I always run into some kind of wall where I am shoved in front of a whole bunch of good snacks or food. That is the hardest thing for me! How can I resist all of these amazing sweets? I know that the Nutrisystem desserts are awesome (they truly are!) but I don’t just have them with me 24/7 or I would eat them every chance that I get, which wouldn’t work well for my plan.
I have been trying to figure out what I can do to keep myself from eating junk just because it is around me, and it’s hard! Here are a few things that I have done that are working for me personally-
Look at the calorie content- if I look at the calories in a certain food, or the carbs! Good heavens, those carbs will get you! It will make it easier for me to say “no” to having some of it. It I know that I can have a handful of chips that will add up to 200 calories and leave me starving still, or a Nutrisystem meal with some veggies for around the same amount of calories that will fill me up… hands down, I can make the right choice most of the time.
I talk to myself in my head- this probably doesn’t shock you, I am the type that talks to myself (in my head most of the time) all day long. I look at the food and I am convinced automatically that I NEED to eat it, that it will taste amazing and that it will make me feel all better. I have to tell myself that those things are not true! I do not NEED it, I am far from starving. It will taste good, but is it worth it? Usually no. And as far as making me feel better, it never does, it makes me feel worse because I feel like I cannot control myself.
If I feel like I won’t be able to move on from a certain craving, or that I will feel like I missed out on something I take a bite. I remind myself that I don’t have to eat a whole cake to know that it was good; a bite or two can make me feel just as fulfilled.
I realize now that I used to eat out of boredom, and that is a really hard habit to break. I like to eat a little snack at 11 or 12 at night while I am working and stopping that has been rough. Sometimes when I am really feeling like I need a little treat I grab a snack bar and eat it, keeping myself from it just makes me angry about “dieting.”
What do you do to keep from eating things that you know you shouldn’t? Do you just give in? Do you have enough will-power to just say “no” and walk away?

If you’ve never seen a Lacrosse game, you are missing out! As many of you know, I am not a sports fan but I do enjoy a good sporting event live. The first Lacrosse game that I attended was an indoor game, and it was really fun but the Denver Outlaws game that we attended last week was something else!
The Outlaws play at Mile High (Sports Authority Stadium, for those of you who aren’t from here) and that helps to take this game up a notch! Being in a seat at the stadium is more thrilling, in and of itself, than most other things in life. Denver people know what I mean, that stadium is legend.
We took our seats and watched the guys on the field warming up and practicing, and after a while the game started. At first Moose (7) and Tater (5) had a hard time keeping their eye on the ball, but then they started figuring it out and cheering along with their screaming maniac mom the crowd. I do not know the history of the game, but from what I saw I think that the game is like hockey on the grass, where you catch the ball in your net instead of hitting it along the ground.
From a mom’s perspective this game was pretty harsh; men were beating each other with their sticks. However, from a personal perspective this was an awesome freaking game! It was really fun to watch the little bits of fighting and rough play that went on.
The best part of the game was that the Jumbo Tron was really awesome. The camera men were zooming in on couples and children and it was perfect, so much fun to watch. It got better though! At half-time there was a proposal, a real live proposal! Other than my own (which I was too invested in to pay much attention) it is the only one I have ever been witness to. It turns out that the propose-e was an intern with the Outlaws named Anna, and the guy was her boyfriend Dustin, so congratulations to them and best wishes!
One of the cool things about the Denver Outlaws is that they only sell the lower section seats to each game, so no matter what seat you get, it is a great one! We really did have a great time, and I would recommend seeing a game for yourself, you won’t regret it!
