Accountability is my biggest obstacle

Today is going to be the start of consistent "Weekly Weigh-in" posts in an effort to stay more accountable and provide support to others who are needing it! So without further adieu...

My-Oh-My really?! I can't believe I allowed myself to gain back so much weight.  I guess I can't beat myself up, or blame anyone but myself for this. The only thing I can do is pick myself up and getting moving. 

My life is slowly moving into a new normal routine. I have the girls every other week. I have moved in with a wonderful man and we are attempting to make a new normal for everyone. 

Overcoming my excuses has always been an obstacle for myself. One of my most recent excuse is that it's hard to form a fitness routine around every other week having the kids and their busy lives. But, like I have said in the past it is only an excuse and there are no excuses that should prevent me from losing weight. 

It is time for me to be accountable and overcome this huge obstacle in my life. Accountability is so tough especially when it seems so easy to pass blame onto any number of excuses in our lives.  

I love to eat. I love to bake. I love Fish Fry Friday. I love the comfort of curling up with a bag of chips and a good movie.  What I do not love is how out of shape I feel. How gross I feel when I look in the mirror or touch my body. I miss how sexy I felt 30 pounds lighter. I want the amazing feels back.

I guess I better walk my way back..  I woke up a little early this morning. Did a 2  mile WATP dvd. My FitBit says I only 1.36 miles but I did something. At lunch today I headed over to the lake and did a short 1.69 mile walk. I hope to get another 2 mile WATP dvd in tonight before bed. Baby steps but steps. 

Crock Pot Cheeseburgers

This is one of the messiest, ugliest but oh so good yummy delicious thing I have ever made.

For anyone who loves McDonald Cheeseburgers but can't eat the calories or you just want to know what you are eating. Here is my version of it. We aren't talking the lowest in calories, only saying it is lower in calories then the real deal.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 lb lean ground beef (96/4 recommended)
• 1/4 teaspoon Garlic Salt 
• 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
• 2 Tablespoons Skim Milk
• 1 C. Chopped Onion
• 2 Cloves of Garlic
• 1 Tablespoon Prepared Mustard
• 1 Tablespoon Dill Relish
• 8 oz. Velveeta Light Cheese (chopped into bite sizes)

Instructions:

1. Brown ground beef in skillet and strain if needed. 
2. Spray Crock Pot with cooking spray and line bottom with cooked ground beef. 
3. Add garlic salt, black pepper and skim milk
4. Add onion and garlic 
5. Add relish and velveeta cheese
6. Mix
7. Cover and cook on high for 2-3 hours or on low until cheese melts. 

Serve on a bun or sandwich thin. Top with fixings of your liking but don't forget to add those calories to total.
