When Things Go Off Track

So the last post I made was Wednesday.  I laid out my entire day for you.  But what happens when things don't go as you've planned that day?  You have to work late.  You get stuck in traffic for an extra hour.  You get home and a child is sick, or your powers out.  Something happens to distract you, and by the time you are able to sit down to your meal, you are so hungry that you could eat a table.  The last thing on your mind is eating healthy.  All you can think of at the moment is eating something, who cares what that something is.

This exact thing happened to me Wednesday evening.  I had planned to make pork tenderloin when I got home that night.  I was off work at 7, and by the time I got home, it would have been 8 o'clock.  I would have probably been eating my dinner somewhere around 8:30.  Which is kind of late anyway.  But it's better than eating McDonald's or Burger King or....the table...HAHA!

About half way home, the interstate came to a complete stand still.  There was no way to get around it from where I was at that time, so I just had to sit there. By the time I made it home it was 9 o'clock.  Forget pork tenderloin....I just wanted to eat something.  The old me would have grabbed a piece of the pizza my kids were eating, or had a fried bologna and egg sandwich slathered with mayo that my husband was having.  This me went on defense mode.  What did I have on hand that I could eat right now that wouldn't throw me off track???

So, I grabbed a bag of tuna packed in water. Topped it with greek yogurt, salt, and pepper.  Chopped up some peppers and mixed it all together.  Then I grabbed some homemade tortilla chips that I had on hand from a prep day. (I pack these individually into baggies just for this reason)  Some salsa, and peeled an orange.  That was my dinner.  There isn't a picture because let me tell ya....it wasn't pretty at all.  But it was good, and I was hungry.  And I slept good knowing that I didn't cheat myself.

And it paid off too.  I'm down two more pounds and 1.5 inches.  My rings and shoes are looser too! Yes, you can lose wait in your feet.  NO kidding.

*A lot of you have been asking if this can be done without shakeology.  The answer is YES!!! You can absolutely do this with out shakeology.  It's just one of the programs I have chosen to help me on my journey.  It doesn't take the place of hard work and dedication.  It isn't a miracle drink or a weight loss aid.  It is a nutritional supplement that I am using.  Nothing takes the place of hard work.  You didn't get here over night....you won't meet your goal over night either. For more about what I'm doing and how to join me, e-mail me or message me on facebook. I promise you won't be sorry.


Homemade Tortilla Chips

What you'll need:

an electric griddle or a large skillet
pam cooking spray (I used olive oil spray)
Whole wheat italian style flat out flat bread

a pizza cutter or large knife
a spatula

What you'll do:

Preheat the griddle pan to 400 degrees or the skillet to medium high, and coat with cooking spray.

  Cut your flat bread into squares with your pizza cutter or knife. 

 Lay each flat bread on the griddle to cook.  I press mine down with the spatula because I'm impatient but you don't have to do this. 

 Let them cook until brown on this side and flip and brown on the opposite side.  

Remove them from the pan and let them cool.  They'll crisp up even more after they've cooled so be sure not to over cook them.  After they're cooled place them into individual bags for lunches and snacks.  90 Calories per flat bread!! Not too shabby. ENJOY!!
