Check-in

Jan 06, 2014

Still on track!  No cravings for anything at all.  This morning I got up early, threw a bunch of green veggies in the blender, scoop of protein, half a grapefruit, and a few table spoons of apple cider vinegar and squeezed lemon juice - that was breakfast!  Then I made pan fried (no grease or anything) talapia for my lunch.  Packed my lunch box - fish, trail mix, yogurt, sliced turkey lunchmeat and 1 hard boiled egg.  Why the hell did I pack all of that food?  I must have been still full from the juice I blended earlier - by the time lunch came, I heated up my fish - took 3 bites or so, ate the egg and I was STUFFED.  I couldn't eat my perfectly cooked talapia.  I HATE left overs - so I'm sure I'll through it away tomorrow and eat something else. I was mad about the fact that I couldn't eat my fish but then I chuckled to myself and thought..wow... I still have restriction!  I snacked on trailmix for the rest of the day.  BOOOooooo.  After work, I still had energy so I walked to my gym.  It's about a good 15 minute walk.  Of course that place was packed!  10 minutes on the bike.  15 minutes on treadmill @ 12.0.  5 minutes on Eliptical.  5 mins stair climbing. I became distraught after seeing all my rolls and GUT in the mirrors.  .  FUCK - I let myself go.  I digress...I will make this turnaround.   I broke my earbuds so I walked another 10 minutes to Radio Shack after I left the gym.  From there - back home - another 25 min.  

I've been reading DAILY how to detox my liver - thus Apple Cider Vinegar is now featured in my pantry.   There's so many benefits to it.  Additionally, it helps with PH balance of the body.  Win-win situation!  I've cleaned my face with the left over lemon that I squeezed this morning.  This is suppose to cleanse my blemishes away.  Being an alcoholic - or perhaps out of boredom, I began to pick at my face like a fuckin junkie or something - so my face was very blemished.  I've been doing this for a few days now.  My skin looks and feels a lot better.  

Dinner - I couldn't figure out what I wanted to eat.  So I just blended some green veggies and drank that.  Now I'm sipping on warm water with a few drops of ACV.  I swear it's a damn challenge trying to decide what to eat.  Oh - and I'm eating 10 almonds as well.  This woman at the gym told me I should start portioning out my nuts.  Not just pop a few and think I'm not over doing it when in reality - I probably am.  Noted. 

Other stuff:  My BFF called me and said we're going out on Friday.  I told her I didn't want to go - I need a few more weeks of sobriety.  She said, "I won't hear it".  You're getting your ass out of the house.  We'll ask the waiter to pour us Pellegrino in a wine glass instead of wine.   I HEART HER.   I do need to get out of the house more often.  

Today, I'm still happy I had GB in 2009.  I have a positive mindset.  I can do this!!!
