Start over again?

So I'm doing pretty well, but not sticking to this challenge 100%.   I've allowed a bit of wheat and sugar in my diet since I've started.  Otherwise, I think I'm slowly finding the motivation to stick to this...  But I'm thinking that maybe I should just start over.  If I do something, I want to do it 100%!!

Today went well- had pot roast, mashed cauliflower, vegetables with red pepper dip, and made a chicken stir fry for dinner.  Then a few spoonfuls of Coconut Cocoa Chia Pudding.

When I weighed myself today, I was 5lbs lighter than yesterday.  The scale is so unreliable!! LOL Anyway, it made me happier to see that I was close to my weight from the start of February.  :)  I think that gave me the kick in the butt today to get motivated again!

Here is the chia pudding:

Chocolate Coconut Chia Pudding

1 1/2 c.  Coconut Milk
1/4 c. Chia Seeds
1/4 c. Navitas Naturals Organic Cacao Powder
1 tsp. Vanilla Extract
28 drops NuNaturals Pure Liquid Vanilla Stevia

1. Put coconut milk, cacao powder, vanilla and stevia in a Mason jar, cover tightly and shake well until powder is dissolved.

2. Add chia seeds and shake again.

3. Refrigerate for about 5 minutes and shake again.

4. One more time, refrigerate for about 5 minutes and shake again.

5. Return to refrigerator and this time let it sit for about 50 minutes.

6. Garnish with fresh berries and Navitas Naturals Organic Cacao Nibs.



The stir fry I made didn't turn out so well... it looks more like a stew than a stir fry, but it didn't taste too bad.  I definitely will have to try making a real stir fry again!
