I love beer

Many of you know...I am a lover of beer...not that fancy beer...Bud Light bottles...I love them...what doesn't love beer is my waist.

While walking on the fitness journey I learned that I have to set boundaries. LOTS of boundaries.

Boundary #1: I only drink on Saturday's
Boundary #2: Cheat meal is Sunday (my Mom always cooks Sunday supper, I cannot say no to her cooking)
Boundary #3: NO POP! NO JUICE! NOTHING but black coffee and water...If it's hot and I need caffeine I will also drink iced tea with no sugar.
Boundary #4: Breakfast should be the most bad ass meal of the day...then lunch...then a little dinner.
I switch my breakfasts up too...but EGGS are my best friend. I make them all different ways and add lots of veggies to them. Don't forget the hot sauce too.
Boundary #5: White condiments are soooo good yet soooo bad....I love ranch and sour cream almost as much as I love Bud Light bottles. I try to avoid foods that I know I would want those white condiments on...ie: Tacos and some salads. If I HAVE too I use Greek yogurt on my tacos...but I would rather just skip the tacos all together rather than ruin them with stupid Greek Yogurt. #truth #greekyogurtisgross
Boundary #6: Don't eat the bun. If I get anything with a bun I take it off or simply ask the waitress to not serve it with the bun. (coming from a former server, it's not a big deal at all).
Boundary #7: Drink a big ass glass of water before you eat. Your tummy will feel extra full.
Boundary #8: I hit the gym hard 4 days a week but always do something fun on my 5th workout day...like walking with my nephew at the park, running bleachers at the stadium or yoga....Switch it up a little so you don't get bored.
Boundary #9: If it goes in my mouth, I write it down...It really helps me keep track of calories.

LAST, after I do all that crap above...I reward myself! Pedicures are my favorite reward...Set a goal, if you lose 5 lbs. in a week get your toes done! After all I worked my ass off for this and it ain't easy!
