#Mamavation Monday

I am beyond mad at myself this week.  I gained 1.5 pounds.  Grrr.   I slipped....majorly.  I told myself that I was doing good, so it was ok to treat myself to a soda.  Than I treated myself to an ice cream cone with the kids, followed by treating myself to a big greasy burger from A&W.  I was shocked when I reviewed my food journal this week that I ate that many extra UN-needed calories.  I don't know why I did it.  I wish that there was a secrete pill that I could take to make all those foods taste gross to help ease the cravings.  But there is not, so I need to suck it up & deal with this.  I have a goal this week to get a fruit or veggie in with every meal. Which I succeeded at this morning by adding fruit to my oatmeal. 

I do have a few worries though about the upcoming week.  I'm preparing for my eldest daughters golden birthday!   She'll be 6 on the 6th!!  Still can not believe it.  Anyway the menu that I have planned had more "unhealthy" food than "healthy".  Here is what I was planning on making.  If ANY of you have suggestions as to how I can make this menu healthier I am all ears!!  But, I can't break the bank.  There are approx 100 guest coming to the party.  Yes, I have a LARGE family & we have an equal amount of very close friends. 

Snacks
potato chips, veggie tray, meat tray, cheese tray, crackers, fruit kabobs, trail mix
MEAL
hamburgers, chicken, Hot dogs, mac & cheese
potato wedges, buns,ketchup, mustard

Deserts
cake, ice cream, chocolate chip cookies, cake pops

Again, I'm open to any and ALL suggestions.  I really need to make this a healthy, yet fun day for everyone who is coming.  Thank you in advance for your insights.  Now its time to get to the gym & kick this weight I gained back to the curb.

    For desserts I always try to do some cut up fruit with fruit dip, and there are some awesome Weight Watcher cookie ideas on Pinterest!
    You could also do pop chips instead of regular potato chips, and making your own potatoe wedges, as well as healthy versions of mac n cheese.
    (again..Pinterest! LOL)

    Don't be soo hard on yourself about this week. We all mess up and over indulge on the good, but not-so-good-for-you stuff. Today is a new day to start fresh!

    Happy Birthday to your little one! Kids just grow up too fast!
