Week 1 ~ DONE

Well I made it through week 1 of my new diet "lifestyle change"! Because we all need lists in our lives, here is a list of things that impressed me about myself this past week:

• I didn't kill anyone although I did needlessly yell at about both my kids & husband for reasons that really should not be reasons!
• It has been a whole week without my life line ~~ Dr. Pepper and well frankly I am still alive just not awake most days!
• I have seriously cut back on sugar and don't miss it one little bit.
• I have eaten more vegetables this week than I ate all last month (3 heads of lettuce consumed by me and me alone, thank you very much).
• I have exercised regularly and now my body is really starting to like it, which confuses me?!? Really body you enjoy sweating it out until all your muscles ache, really?!? Because I could have sworn you were the same body that LOVED lounging on the couch~just sayin!
• I have cooked 3 meals a day for the last week without eating out ONCE?!? I had no idea that I was related to Betty F*ing Crocker!

I would give you some elaborate breakdown of what my weight has done this week BUT...I haven't weighted myself and I don't plan to for at least 2-3 more weeks. Truthfully it is not about the weight, I just want to be able to live a normal life without medication and without huffing and puffing everywhere I go. This Big Bad Wolf doesn't want to chase piggies anymore, I would rather kiss a frog and marry my prince.....wait I already did!! Now I just want to enjoy it!!!

Day 3

So today was day 3 or 2, idk, I think i am having sugar withdraws. I have no energy and my brain is foggy to say the least but that's OK because I have had no headaches. I am keeping my fingers crossed.

I did a lot better today with my exercising. I made it another 5 minutes on "the machine" plus we went downtown to May fest this afternoon. That was a lot of walking but I really enjoyed the time with the family. I also managed to keep in my basic Pilate's ab exercises that I used to live and die by so kudos in that department.

As far as food, I didn't do so well in that department at May fest. I did manage to restraint myself a whole bunch. I only had 3 bites of polish sausage, 1 bite of cheese-on-a-stick, 2 bites of corn dog and 2 bites of funnel cake. I know too much but you should have seen what everybody else ate...just say in. Besides May fest I stayed on my meal plan of breakfast, snack, huge lunch, and only a salad for dinner so I could take my meds. I do need a pat on the back because I am drinking lots and lots more water!!

Now just have to get the kids to bed, take a shower because frankly I stink then off to bed to watch t.v....Here's to a better day tomorrow!!
