I am officially at the point where I am dreaming about food. Cupcakes, specifically, that I baked myself and taste like heaven in the form of spongy chocolate cake and vanilla buttercream frosting.

Send help. Soon.

Less than 10 days to go, and I’m just barely hanging. I’d love to report that, hey, it’s gotten so much easier to say no to yummy things and not even think about all I’m missing out on. It’s actually just about the opposite.

The Husband and I are so over cooking. Every recipe just seems boring. Granted, we have a lot of side stress building as we are making offers on TWO houses this week (so much adulting happening over here!!!) and it is taking a toll on our energy levels.

Full disclosure: We’ve already planned our first meal out for Day 31. It involves wine.

Where I went right this weekend:

Found an awesome manager’s special on 99% fat free ground turkey at our local Sprouts Market. Picked up four packages, and froze one to have on hand. Each package weighed about a pound, and they were all less than $4 per package. Win!

Where I went wrong:

Aside from dreaming of cupcakes, the fruit cravings have been real. I’m eating a lot of dates and sliced pineapple, and usually after dinner at “dessert time.” Probably reinforcing some real bad habits there, but in light of everything, I figured I could give myself a pass on this one.

Goals for this week:

Totally failed on my goal from last week to increase my steps per day and work on getting more activity in. So just going to roll that one over into this week. However, I’m also going to set a goal to try minimum two new recipes this week. And force myself to be excited about them.
