\nLast night’s workout was a struggle every step of the way. I got on the treadmill, ready to pump out 3 miles and felt like I was running up the side of a mountain. I honestly kept looking down at the treadmill to see if the Incline was set to something other than “zero”. It wasn’t. What the heck was up with that?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nMy heart rate was high the entire time I ran (also strange considering that it’s usually pretty low while I warm up the first mile). I burned a high number of calories during my run too. Also higher than normal (457 calories in 44 minutes). Good music helped motivate me.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nWeight lifting was a struggle as well but I powered through it and tried to increase the weight amount on several machines.<\/p>\n

Gym Stats:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Time: 1:23<\/strong><\/p>\n

Calories Burned: 732<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nI was famished. And looking forward to dinner. Wednesday night’s meal plan: Jenna’s Ten Minute Shrimp and Goat Cheese Quesadillas<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nMichael changed the recipe a little. Instead of frozen pepper and onion mix he used fresh and cooked it in the skillet like he normally does for our fajitas.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nInstead of sliced avocado he made his amazing (and spicy) guacamole (my kryptonite).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nDinner wasn’t quite ready when I got home from the gym so the moment I saw the chips and guacamole I devoured a bunch of it while I waited. He also made them more into burritos instead of quesadillas.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nIt was good. If we make it next time I’d do the classic quesadilla format and I’d cut the shrimp in smaller pieces to be easier to eat. I loved the goat cheese in it though. What a nice addition!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nWas this the best meal to eat the night before my weigh-in? Probably not. Check in this afternoon for that post!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

After dinner–Top Chef! It was a great episode. I like that everyone kicked ass at their elimination meal and I’m so excited about next week’s episode! I bemoaned the fact that our house has no chocolate in it. That might be a good thing right now though.<\/p>\n

Let’s talk Trigger Foods. <\/strong>I am super strict about not having my trigger foods in the house. If they are in the house I would become obsessed with them and eat them until they were gone. Just a few of my triggers:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n5th Avenue Bars and Butterfingers. MMmmmmm….Plus cheesecake. I used to buy the individual cheesecake slices from Fred Meyer almost every day. I essentially ate a whole cheesecake each week.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nOf course trigger foods are also homemade cookies, ice cream and brownies. Not all of my trigger foods are sweets. Pizza is a big one. So is anything “dip” related: spinach dip, artichoke dip, guacamole, cheese dip…If I can dip crackers, chips or veggies into it, I won’t be able to stop eating it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nWhat’s my secret for not gaining back 100 pounds? Not having my trigger foods in the house.<\/strong> I found that if they were OUT OF SIGHT<\/span> I didn’t think about them. I could move on, not crave the trigger foods and eat healthy. But if there’s a tub of ice cream in the house? I’d eat some every night until it was gone. It would be on my mind until I ate it all. Luckily I practice portion control so it’s not like the old days when I’d eat a gallon of ice cream in one sitting.<\/p>\n

QUESTION: How do you deal with trigger foods? What are your trigger foods?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
