Ok, so I've been a real slacker on posting. I'm going to make an excuse. The weather. The weather makes me angry. It makes me tired and lethargic. It makes me want to curl up on the couch in my flannel and watch reality TV. I just haven't had the energy to drag out the laptop and get it done. I apologize.
While I'm confessing and asking for forgiveness, I also must note that I cheated. Last night I had chili from Wendy's. Not a huge indiscretion, but a cheat nonetheless. The chili would be fine except for the beans. Oh well, I really have nothing against beans and I'm not sure why cavemen do either. Not an excuse; still a cheat but I'm totally justifying it. Also, while I'm at it, you should know that I've been eating the dressing that comes on the Panera salad that I get. I'm sure it has sugar but I don't want to check. So, I'm pretending it's fine. This challenge without the points and competition makes it easy to slip.
Now I feel better.
So the past couple of days have been good even though I cheated. I've still eaten clean except for those slips. I feel fine. I'm not feeling too deprived. Although, I'm having chili again for lunch today (it's freezing and raining, people!!) and I just threw away my saltine crackers and felt a little deprived. I really would like one but I won't let myself slip that much. That will send me down the whole carbolicious slope. No sir. Oh, and last night while having chili, Marcus made a pizza. The smell made me feel deprived too. Then I watched Fashion Police, Oscars edition and remembered that I love clothes and love to buy clothes that fit and so the deprivation subsided. Thank you, malnourished Hollywood in tiny designer clothes.
Speaking of deprived....I still have not weighed myself. Tracy let me know this morning that she is back down to fighting weight after losing 7 pounds in the last 8 days. Bravo, Tracy, bravo. This again confirms that she was clearly a caveman in her previous life. This also proves that eating this way works if you do it right. However, this information made me want to find out how I was doing. Of course, I didn't weigh before I started so I won't know how well I've done but at least I could know if I was at fighting weight. Oh well. I promise not to cheat on that vow. I will not weigh myself until the end. I do feel better. I know for sure that's an improvement. No sugar and no grains (specifically wheat) will do that for you. I'm not so bloaty.
Ok, I think that's all for now. Marcus says that he's not sure anyone cares about what I eat everyday so I'm going to omit the food diary. Never fear, I'm still documenting it in my little book, I just won't bore you with it. If you need some ideas of what to eat, just let me know! By now, you can probably tell that my diet is pretty boring and not that eventful (unless my in laws are cooking!).
Enjoy the rain.....no, wait, please pray for sun (this blog depends on it, clearly).
Until tomorrow....
