I did it! Day 1 is over =] But let me tell you it was not easy...
Most mornings I would consider the act of my husband making a delicious breakfast fantastic, but not today. The entire house smelt of bacon grease and sausage fat-- yuuuum. At the smell of the fatty yet-o-so mouth watering aroma I marched into the kitchen yelling "what the heck are you doing?!". Adam then chuckled, "oh yeah, your not eating like this anymore, huh?" Uh ya, DUH! So as Adam and Lilah enjoyed their hearty breakfasts I sipped on 2 scoops of powder mixed with low fat milk-- yum, NOT. But I must admit I felt great afterwards. The day ventured on with my eating healthy and actually enjoying it, not feeling starved as I presummed. Temptation #2 of the day, Adam and the kids went out to Wendy's for lunch. I love Wendys! But, will power and the thought of admitting to you all my strength was much more satisfying than the fast food. My day continued with more healthy choice, whole almonds for a mid-morning snack, a CINCH meal bar for lunch, followed by craisins and a small slice of cheese. Dinner wasn't the best of choices but running off to class, it was my only option. I had leftover whole grain turkey helper (the healthy cousin of Hamburger Helper) and salad with the spritzer type dressing. Small portions were key to helping me feel like I was staying on track. And of course water, water, tea, water =]
I met most of my goals except for the biggie-- exercise. I realized if I don't get to it first thing in the morning I never will. Plan for tomorrow, workout as soon as I drop Noah off from school. Same goals for tomorrow, let's see how I do.
Oh... and I almost forgot... temptation #3, my loving husband decided it would be oh so nice of him to go BACK to Wendys at 9pm and get a little thing there called a Frosty. His reasoning for the lack of support, "it's a good test for the real world".. uh and this is a "fake" world? Guys, you gotta love 'em. So I drank my water and tried to keep telling myself it tasted good. Tomorrow is day 2, Goodnight!
thats pretty damn adorable... what sort of results are you looking for? ive done many diets from raw to vegan to straight up juices for months at a time. could help out if you were feelin weak.... hehe good luck lady!
ReplyDeleteAww thanks! I'm looking to loose inches and body fat. Of course weight (lbs) too. I'm hoping to loose 4 pants size (I'm currently a size 12 and want to be a size 6). So I have a big task ahead of me. I'm using a program called Cinch, and it's focused on inches lost rather than weight. It's helping me build lean muscle which in turn will burn more body fat. Did you have any success from the diets you tried?
