Week 2 Reflections

Jan 22, 2010

Week 2 of new healthy life.

 

 You want to know what I discovered… that Thursdays I’m HUNGRY!!! My little 100 calories meals do not cut it on Thursday. My stomach was growling constantly; in meetings, while teaching, while waiting for my 100 calorie soup to heat up in the microwave. LOL. But I survived, I just drank a lot more and managed to only have one small healthy string cheese for an extra snack =]

 

I did cheat this week, though it’s not really my fault I blame Gloria, my absolute BFF. I was telling her what I made for dinner and she said; “Oh, that’s great. I had Olive Garden, and it was so good.” I was like what the hell??? You’re not supposed to tell me that stuff. I’m in a fragile state here, with the lack of my favorite foods like pasta. I told her I was so angry with her that I was going to ‘shank her, and then lick the knife’ (quoting George Lopez) and do you know what she told me? She said, “Well it will taste life alfredo sauce!” I couldn’t help but laugh but the next day what did I go do… I had Olive Garden, and not just a little bit, I had the fettuccini alfredo dinner with an appetizer of stuffed mushrooms, 2 bread sticks, and a few bites of the salad. Do you know how many calories that is… it’s like 2900. I was like it’s okay, I’ll starve the next 3 days it was freakin’ worth it. LOL.

 

But no, in the morning I forgave myself for cheating and continued on in my new and healthy way of life and so I do. I survived, which is a great thing. Before when I found myself cheating I usually throw in the towel all together, but I think that I’ve set myself on this new path and I’m not giving in, no matter what. I may splurge, but if it’s once a week, what harm can it really do. I mean I’ve gone from eating fast food nearly 10 times a week to nothing, if that’s not something to celebrate I don’t what is. You know, I don’t even really miss it. As much as I love McDonalds, I’m not even craving one of those juicy little McDoubles. (Well at least I wasn’t until I wrote those words LMAO). I’m stronger this week and it doesn’t seem all that hard. I’m still eating, and for the most part it’s great food so all is well.

 

So what’s my successes for completing 2 weeks of a new healthy life… well there’s a big problem with that you see on my Dr. Scale I started at 341, but on the school one here I was at 348. I haven’t been to the doctor, so I weighed myself here at school and it looks I’m 338 so that’s a loss of 12lbs. I can’t wait to go to the dr. to see what it’s like there. I know that results aren’t as great as the weeks follows but anything counts.

 

PS: I’m more active in my daily life, but not because I’m exercising per say… I really need to work on that next week. That’s the goal, at least 15 minutes a day of planned exercising. Will see how that goes.
