No sugar challenge(d) day 8

Soooooo the no sugar challenge didn't start off so well this last week... the luau pretty much made this months challenge a failure... not that I didn't have huge successes so far (I stopped coffee, soda, desserts) and I'm going to continue the rest of the month moving forward with the change in my choices (reading labels avoiding sugary sauces etc...) but the hawaiian food for the luau all pretty much had sugary sauces... even if I did avoid the pineapple turnover cake and punch.


I didn't loose in this first week in fact I gained... 2 lbs.  Part could be due to stress, and eating out due to a very rigorous schedule. I look at a scale as a motivator either way the scale moves. If I loose weight I'm excited to keep the momentum going and if I  gain weight it makes me more determined to prove it wrong. HA!


Tomorrow I am sitting down with Pinterest and looking at recipes and building my shopping list... Wednesday I am shopping... Thursday afternoon I will be hitting the kitchen and fixing healthy breakfast options I can grab on the go and premade healthy dinner options I can freeze for those days I have 20 different things going on.


Breakfast:
cottage cheese and 1 piece of grain/nut toast


Lunch:
pulled pork sandwich and some potato salad


Dinner:
Some hamburger helper, (I used ham instead of hamburger it needed to be used up) 1/2 large avocado, 1/2 apple, and a handful of chips
