Brian is trying to help, too. Kind of. We are trying to cook more at home. Even if you don't cook the best foods, there is no way you are possibly using as much grease and preservatives as the restaurants. Realization! I have not eaten fast food in a month! That's huge for me. And it's all thanks to the 100 calorie snacks.
Yesterday I was stressed from work and ended up staying up till 1 am finishing my reports to be mailed off today. Yuck. So I had to turn Leah down for a work out which made me feel so guilty. And while I reported away, Brian cooked me a lovely pasta dinner and glass of wine. He was trying to be romantic, I think, because he poured himself a glass of wine and he NEVER drinks wine. It was sweet. Then he proposed a toast but I can't remember what to. (He says I don't listen). Anyway- I secretly half-sipped the wine and didn't finish it because I knew how many calories it had. And I had one small serving of pasta. You should see how much is left over. We are going to give it to Bowie. Aside from dinner, I didn't eat a morsel all day yesterday because I was so busy on the computer I forgot to eat. It was crazy. And I was so stressed out I didn't even feel hungry going to bed- just pooped. It's funny that stressed is desserts spelled backwards! Because normally (in my fat state) I would be snacking when I'm stressed. Now, I can't wait to go sweat out the tension.Today I'll try to do better. I sent off the reports and had a bowl of cheerios with skim milk for breakfast. I'll have a salad for dinner at the CL with oil/vinegar and lemon. Then I'll go to the rec with Leah when I get home. I can't believe I have skipped two workouts this week.
On the bright side- no fast food, no weight gain (but also no loss), and strangely no cravings
whatsoever. It's great! Great! I don't sit there and think about stopping by Wendy's on my way home. As a matter of fact the thought of fries makes me kind of gag. I have been craving things like pineapple, veggies. I'm sure it's mostly psychological but- still. I'm keeping my journal which I have no problem carrying around. I already carry a planner and everyone knows I'm on a health-kick. Actually most of the people I know are, too. I guess January was a good time to start. Brooke wants to lose weight, Allie is a health freak, but most importantly Leah and Mom keep me going. Jillian says to write down all your feelings and I think this blog is the perfect place to do it.
Leah- loving the pix. You're getting visual with us. Mom- just type it in Blogspot because it does automatic saves like every three minutes. If the computer crashes, you wont lose what you typed, just look into 'drafts' on the dashboard. FYI. And no late night snacking!!!!! "Kitchen's closed" remember? Just put a chair in front of the walkway like we do with the dogs. haha. Or better yet- make a sign with "hours" on it. I'll design one for all of us. I think hours should be 8 a.m. - 8 p.m. Agreed?Believe it or not, I'm really really looking forward to gunning it on the treadmill tonight. I think I have more stamina, too, Leah. Call you later!
