Today is day 15. I should have posted something yesterday but I was very disappointed and so I needed to sulk and be unhappy for a little while. On my 14 day weigh in I had not lost a single ounce. 14 days of no cheating not so much as a grain of sugar, a bread crumb, a cracker! I was very sad. Then I started to think about what I had changed this week over the one before. 2 things had changed. I had added in eating a couple of table spoons of peanut butter as a “treat” to get me by. Every day at the end of the day I would get that peanut butter as a reward. Well I’ve stopped doing that. I had also started to cook many of my veggies in real butter as opposed to olive oil. I thought I could use the “good fat” well I’ve also knocked that off. Now, when I got on the scale this morning I was down 4.6. (Yes, I’m back to weighing every day) I can not handle the idea of working this hard for an entire week and seeing no results. I feel like I need the opportunity to intervene throughout the week. Bad, I know but hey it’s me and it is what it is. I can’t sweat small stuff like that right now. I need to focus and feel accomplished. I didn’t feel that this past week and it almost drove me to eating things that were really bad. I mean BAD! Now, onto something I am really super proud of… Yesterday was a co-workers birthday. We all sit and have lunch together every day so we also celebrate birthdays together. Well, a while back I had introduced my co-worker to the greatness that is Wegman’s chocolate cream pie. It’s my total weakness. My Goodness, it’s so good. It’s the best pie… ever. Anyway he fell in love with it too AND his boss brought one of those pies for his birthday yesterday. I know what you are thinking but I will have you know I DID NOT HAVE A SINGLE BITE!!! That’s right. I resisted. (I cried a little, just being honest). I couldn’t believe how strong my will power was! I was very proud of myself. I just kept saying 14 days, 14 days. Don’t throw away 2 weeks for 5 minutes of chocolate bliss. Then I also remembered that September 28th is my reward day… I do believe I will have a small slice of chocolate pie on the 28th with my Mexican food dinner. I still have to live my life right. I will say… this little lesson taught me that I can resist these things and I can have the self control I always claim I am lacking. I chose the things that go into my body and yesterday chocolate pie was not one of those things.
YOU NEED to insert exercise more. YOU should do Zumba with me...its orgasmic. But you know what? You are consistent with food, I'm not. I'm consistent with exercise, and you're not. WE need to fuse together
