Well I missed blogging Day 3 so I will combine 3 and 4! Day 3 actually sucked big time! I have never struggled so hard with something in my life! It's amazing how bad your brain plays tricks on you. I went to subway on lunch break and I knew I wanted to get a turkey sub on whole wheat with veggies, olive oil and baked chips. I also knew exactly how many points it would be etc . However, the minute I got into my car my brain started saying things like this...well since you are eating baked chips and a turkey sub go ahead and get a cookie....oh...a Chocolate Chip cookie...man that sounds sooooo good...just one won't hurt....hell since you are getting one and screwing it all up you might as well get 3 because it is cheaper that way...needless to say this tape played over and over and over again until I got to subway. Once there...it intensified. Long story short I didn't cave and buy any cookies but it sucked and was very tough. I was very happy that I didn't get even one because I learned that they were 5 points for one!!
Today...day 4...has actually been a little easier. I have certainly had my cravings and wants; however, I haven't found them to be as obsessive. I am hoping to start some form of working out on Monday. I haven't really decided what I want to do yet but I know it will be something!
The other thing I noticed, well I've always known but for some reason it struck me more today, was that I have finally figured out why America has such a problem with obesity. I went grocery shopping and was irritated at how expensive it is to eat healthy. It they would reverse the whole thing and charge more for junk food then we probably wouldn't have such a problem. The money that the health care system and businesses would save would be huge and then they could pump some of that back into the food market! Just a thought but I'm pretty sure it won't happen in my life time!
Well...I think that is enough for tonight. For those of you that are into the football playoffs I hope that you were happy with the playoff games today! I was hoping the Cowboys/Eagles game would have been better but oh well!
Take care and continue to stay warm!
Love and peace to all...Jvonne

I am SOOOOO impressed that you didn't order the chocolate chip cookies (one or three). That is SOOOO hard to do. And you did it! Rock ON!
ReplyDeleteHint: Sugar free chocolate jello - but add a scoop of protein powder! The protein makes it better for you (yay) and more filling (yay) and you don't have to feel at all guilty about those 50 calories (yay).
Also: Give some thought to investing in the Bodybugg. With a monitor, it'll run you about $250, but it is really worth it! I used it last year and dropped almost 60 pounds (not kidding). Using it again because I put about 20 of them back on (damn grad school diet).
Keep up the good work chica :)
