REFLECTIONS:
Well, here I am again, looking at a Monday with determination, enthusiasm and plans. The scenery is disturbingly familiar, I have been in this place many times before, both alone and with friends. So what makes this time different? What is it about this time that proves I'm going to make it over the first mountain of Wednesday?
One. I know the mountain, I know it's coming and for the first time I see it on Monday. I'm gonna be ready for it on Wednesday.
Two. For the first time I have a serious deadline, my best friend is getting married and she has picked out the clique bad bridesmaid dress for me. It's a nice dress for anyone who isn't me. On me it's completely unflattering, so by May 12th, I have to be flattering enough for me and the dress to cancel each other out.
Three. This time I have a nifty little weight ticker I like updating, I'm actually going to journal, here. And I hope you guys will be the support group and inspiration I've never really had.
So those are some of the reasons this time is going to be different, this time I'm going to succeed.
11:16
I just had my first real meal on the program. I come from a family where all our parties are in the kitchen, food is the centerpiece of all family gatherings. As a child I remember it being my job to make sure everyone had something to eat. So as I sat in the kitchen staring at the tiny pile of scrambled eggs, I was feeling kind of depressed. But then I had this realization, this is the amount of food I should be eating to be the person I want to be. Now I know this is something I should have figured out years ago, "You weigh less, you eat less."
But I realized that it's not that I can't ever again have pizza, but it's that I get a slice, maybe two if they're small and covered in veggies, instead of the half I use to consume. This is of course later when I want to maintain a weight, right now I want to lose which means I eat foamy egg substitute.
PROGRAM: Protein Day [6-12 servings of Protein, 50-100g of Carbs]
1/2 a serving of Pringles [Cal 145-Fat 10g-Carbs 14g-Prot 1g]
2 Servings of white cheddar Popcorn [Cal 320-Fat20g-Carbs 24g-Prot 6g]
11:05am
1 serv. light cheese spread [Cal 35-Fat 2g-Carbs 1g-Prot 2.5g]
2 servs. egg substitute [Cal 60-Fat 0g-Carbs 2g-Prot 12]
1/2 oz cheetos [Cal 79-Fat 5g-Carbs 8g-Protien 1g]
Total: Cal 639-Fat 37g-Carbs 49g-Prot 22.5g
EXERCISE:
Treadmill 70min [Miles: 2.52 - Speed: 2.6 - Incline: 3 - Calories Burned: 559]
ACHIEVEMENTS:
11:16am
I threw away the half bag of cheetos in the cupboard. I was raised that throwing away food was the same as or worse than stealing. There was many a time when I would scarf down food I wasn't hungry for because I was afraid to throw it out. But I took out a small handful of cheetos and threw the rest of the bag away even going so far as to go outside to the big trash can.
CONFESSTIONS:
I need this little place to keep track of When I slipped and Why, if I am accountable to somebody it's going to help. If I have to write it down it's harder to forget.
Yesterday because I was planning on going on a weight-loss program, I did something stupid and had a "celebration." And by celebration read: me and my sister went out and bought a bunch of junk food watched movies and ate almost all of it. Hence the two gained pounds.
Now that wasn't my confession because well it's something I'm not proud of it technically was before I started my program. What I do need to confess is that in the morning there was still some junk left over, I am ashamed to say that I ate about half of what was left over and put the rest in the cupboard.
11:16am
I ate a small handful of cheetos, I thought this was an achievement until I check the nutrition, I had less than fifteen cheetos and it's five grams of fat, it's so not worth it.
