Day 13 - April 23rd

So, today brings me the day of the "weekend of Candy". Today, I had a late start....
11:00 a.m.ish
(✓) 1st Yellow Packet
11:30 a.m.ish
(✓) 1 white packet
(✓) Hard boiled Egg

I was honestly all sorts of "out of whack" for Day 13. I got my stuff together for my trip back home. On the way home, I had another "frozen fruit drink" that I had made the night before. I had it frozen over night and it was really hard to drink out of a straw that kept collapsing on me... :)

I got home and I was excited because my dad was grilling chicken and it was about time to eat. Well, I didn't realize what time it was and by the time it was ready to eat, I hadn't taken my "30 minutes Prior" Yellow lunch packet. So, I took both the "30 minutes Prior" Yellow Packet & my "With Lunch" White Packet all at once....

So for lunch, I had:
(✓) 1 Grilled Chicken Breast (bone-in + skin)
(✓) 1 serving of Potatoes
(✓) 1 Serving of Corn
(✓) 1 Small chef salad with hard boiled egg slices, tomatoes and French Dressing on the side

IT WAS SO YUMMY!

I felt good about my choices when it came to lunch. :)
Snack:
(✓) Bowl of Black Grapes (MY FAVE!)
-------------------------------
For some reason, I had in my head that I wanted to have chocolate. I did not have chocolate for 13 days and for SOME REASON, I felt compelled to sneak chocolate. I was thinking in my mind, oh, it's Easter, I'm allowed to have chocolate. Mind you, chocolate is my weakness and I am VERY weak when chocolate is in my presence. I felt like I wanted something to munch on at home and I was mindlessly looking through my parents cupboards, and I came across the mother-load. A bag full of chocolate candies! Oh my goodness, in my mind, I was all excited and I felt compelled to have me some candy. I didn't stop at some, I felt like I was a little kid sneaking candy (exactly what I have done in the past), I felt like I NEEDED to have these Hershey's Chocolate nuggets with Almonds. They looked delectable. I then took it upon myself to have SEVERAL, of these little chocolates. I think I had about 5 or 6 of them, when I was thinking "What am I doing".... A couple minutes later...

I HAD THE WORST STOMACH ACHE, EVER.....

Seriously, my stomach was SO UPSET! I was thinking... "Why did I put myself through this misery?" It was almost like an impulse that I could not control. Something that I couldn't control in the past, but with being on AdvoCare, my body way like, "Hey, Melisa! We can't handle you putting this crap in your body like you once did. We like being healthy, but you can't let chocolate control you!!"

Oh my goodness...It was such a bad feeling. Now that I think of it, I could have stopped at one, but that was my mind telling me that chocolate would make me feel better and that I have done it in the past, so why won't you binge again?

Ok.... well, that afternoon, my family and I went on a road trip to Tomah for some ice cream. I LOVE ICE CREAM, but I didn't want my stomach to go through more turmoil, so I ordered a wonderful raspberry, mango, lemon ice cooler. It was delicious :) I looked up the ingredients (after we all got home) and it wasn't too bad compared to the other choices I could have had!... 186 Calories, 46 Carbs, 39 Sugar.

So then we got home and we were hungry again:
(✓) Grilled Chicken Breast
(✓) small side of mashed potatoes
(✓) small serving of corn
(✓) unsalted peanuts.
