Crap-tastic Weekend

Well, it wasn't all crappy, just the food part. I actually did pretty decent on Saturday until dinner time. I made chili in the crockpot and added 1 tsp (just ONE TSP) of chili peppers in adobe sauce. It was SO HOT! I had a big dallop of greek yogurt on top of it to cool it down, but I also had 2 pieces of bread and 3 cups of chocolate milk - ROFL! I'm telling you it was H-O-T! I was pretty hungry all day because I had my 5 mile run scheduled for half-marathon training Saturday morning.

I met my running friend Jennifer at 830am and we set off on the streets around post. We ran the whole thing at a 9:30ish pace. Holy cow!! She pushed me pretty good. We sprinted it out  a few times, walked 3 or 4 times, and she coached me on running down hill. I wouldn't have done as well without her. This Saturday I've got 6 miles on the schedule so hopefully we'll be able to run it together again. I do so much better on long runs with a partner. 
Sunday was rough for me food wise. We started off the morning with protein pancakes (clean food) and then we had egg sandwiches (only thing not clean was the cranberry english muffins - they are so yummy!) before we left for my Sisters...we were headed over to watch some football. All I did was munch on snack foods all afternoon/evening. Chris made guacamole with fresh avocados and salsa (clean and very yummy, but I couldn't eat just guacamole all day). I had some pizza bites and mac 'n cheese bites, my Sister made homemade sticky buns (oh, yes, yes she did and they were DELICIOUS!). I felt so tired and bloated by 5pm. I went to bed around 9 and woke up so hungry. I've been back on track all morning and even went to the gym (completed week 2, back/biceps routine for LiveFit Trainer).
I made something pretty awful for breakfast this morning - I wouldn't recommend it. I took my favorite post-workout protein drink and put it in my oatmeal. It wasn't horrible, it just wasn't as good as I wanted it to be. I think I needed more liquid. It was 1/2 cup oatmeal, 1/2 cup almond milk, 1/2 cup water, 1 Tbsp coco powder, 1 Tbsp natural peanut butter, 1/2 banana, and 1 scoop of protein powder. It was thick, and it cost me 450 calories. Which means I've only got about 200 calories for the rest of the day and it's only 230pm. Um, not cool.
I also managed to swing by the base gym to weigh-in for the Dump Your Plump challenge (it's free) this morning. Their machine said 159. I did horrible on the challenge last year, so hopefully I'll have some success this time around. Next Tuesday I go into Gold's and I take my photo to start off their challenge. Have I mentioned that I need to have the photo taken in a bikini?!? Talk about stepping way outside my comfort zone. I've got a week to go shopping and find one that I don't look completely repulsive in. I can't believe I'm doing this, but just think of how awesome I'm going to look in that bikini come March!
Here is my "start" photo for the eat clean challenge and the weight loss competitions (Gold's and the one on post).
