Ms Elizabeth's Journal, 29 July 2015

Today is.. better. The shock of seeing the scale go over 186.5 + adding more protein to my day is doing wonders. I just hope it continues to do wonders when I get home and I'm attacked by tiny humans who smell like candy. Luckily my allergies are acting up so I won't be able to smell them. Plus well.. peanut always smells like graham crackers these days because he's gone nuts for his teething bisquits. Which.. are delicious. Don't judge. I wasn't the one that put them into the food log so obviously I'm not the first mom who partook in the teething bisquit snack.. 20 calories per bisquit really isn't all that bad.. just sayin..

I'm trying to jump back into the lower carb living kinda life. It's the only one that's ever been successful for me. Protein + plants + chasing tiny humans and critters = weightloss. It also helps that I picked my first zucchini from my garden last night. Now all I have to do is get my butt in gear and start packing a lunch and breakfast for work. Turns out when you stop eating right, making your own foods, and fall for convenience eating a tupperware fairy comes and steals anything you may have had to transport food. I don't know where the tupperware went.. but it isn't in my house and if it made it to the barn well.. I dont want it back. Still.. It completely mystifies me.. Where does tuperware go? It's like the sock that is never seen from again.

Tonight I'm figuring out how to cook a pork tenderloin on the grill.. having fresh zucchini.. and avoiding tiny children feeding me. Or rather.. assisting them in finishing whatever they decided they didn't want 2 bites in. Like say.. a teething bisquit. That is why we have dogs. To give me the desire to vacuum every freaking night because they are shedding and eat children droppings. Oh and bark at every freaking noise.. and chase leaves.. and when you yell go get your stick.. they bring back a fence post. Not joking.. Dogs raised in cow poop will bring you a fence post. Sure they will smack you in the shin with it when you refuse to throw the fence post but well.. it was the closest thing resembling a stick that they came to.

It's the container lids I lose, no clue where they go LOL. Laughing at your dogs, had a lab in the country like that. Don't know what I would have done without the pups cleaning up after kids. Mine definitely does it with the grandkids now. Don't buy your kids candy, they won't smell like candy!! They do not need it, empty calories. Fruit does well to quell the sweet tooth and it's nutritious. Besides if you don't have candy in the house it will not haunt you.

Between potty training bribery and teething bisquits I think I'm squashed for a little while until the treats make their way through the house. Plus the husband is one of the chocolate smelling individuals. I'm never going to be able to tell him. Sorry no sweets in the house I said so. I can only imagine which one of us would be sleeping in the barn that night. I think for now I have to learn some way of coping. I coped before I can do it again. It will help me when they declare today free klondike bar day at work. Which they just did.. immediately after I posted this. Literally seconds later.. free ice cream bars for everyone!! Suck a post it.

I bought Yumboxs for me and the kids. Leakproof, attached lid, and portion control. A wee bit expensive but compared to the black hole of Tupperware and plastic containers we have gone through over the years..........

Learn to throw back the fence post for the dogs...equals strength training! Here's a story for you - my coworker's mom use to eat all of the kids leftovers. She would even rummage thru the garbage can for food scraps. Therefore, it is a good thing that you have dogs to eat the leftovers. By the way - how are your cows doing?

We usually end up with either the top of a container or a bottom, but at some point one or the other disappears. Good job getting back to packing your food, it's the only way to go, if I don't do it I'm toast. Tenderloin on the grill sounds great, I have a charcoal weber grill and cook stuff like that on indirect heat with the coals on one side, the meat on the other. Doing that tonight with a turkey breast that's been brining since yesterday.

I do pork tenderloin on the grill all the time i inject mix of water or chicken broth and Mr's dash garlic and herb mix cause i do not have fresh, surround in onion garlic herbs and veggies of choice and wrap it up in a nice foil packet and grill around 300F 15-20 mins per lb. if you want it to fall apart leave it on longer.

if you want it firm leave it less and last 10 mins take it out of the packet to add color and rest it 10 mins.

What I have found that works for me is cutting out simple carbs. And only eat complex carbs until 3 pm then it's just protine, fruits and veggies. It has helped me lose 10 lbs in 2 weeks and I feel like I have more energy
