Weigh-In Wednesday #1

So we had dinner today at Flanigan's and I was able to resist Loaded Nachos.  That is a feat in itself.  I was able to make good choices, although they were not satisfying at all.  Ohh well, I guess.  Damien's day went well he has a "girlfriend"  named Leah Marie.  She is so sweet and way cute!

Tuesday

Day two with drop off went well.  Damien wanted a hug and a kiss and he was fine.  There were all the family pictures set out on the table and I didn't see Damien's.  I spoke with Ms. Lizzette about it being in his folder, she said she will look.  I really hope they found it.  I would feel really bad if everyone has their picture and somehow his got lost...Well, after pick up I spoke with Ms. Lizzette, she found his picture :)  He showed it to the class and explained who everyone was.  We forgot his backpack at school, we have to get in a routine!

Gave in to cravings :(  Ohh well, on to a new day!!
Damien: Nitro, move your going to bruise my kidney!! That boy cracks me up! 

Okay with Soda

 So, I am going to accept soda for now.  It is my downfall and my comfort.  Some people do drugs, some drink....I LOVE SODA!  I guess I just have to accept that, for now.  The war is not over but right now I am waving the white flag.  Work tonight will be so hard!  I eat pretty healthy and when I go to work and get busy and stressed I eat.  Maybe acknowledging that I will be able to do better.  I plan on bringing a protein shake, and some snacks.  I will eat broccoli, grilled chicken and lettuce, tomato and onion, NOTHING ELSE!!  No snacking on fries or dead food!

Cutting the Junk

Today is day one and I will be cutting the junk out this week.  My plan is to get rid of processed sugars and all soda.  I will be increasing my protein intake and eating every 2 hours.  Last night I went and picked up protein powder and a multi-vitamin.  I have a couple more supplements like L-Carnitine and either a fish oil or flax oil to get.  I would like to focus more on building muscle then on real weight loss, that will come in time as I build the muscle.

Breakfast
     1/3 cup Mocha Cappuccino Protein Powder and Water

Okay, well today is over and the eating part has been awesome.  I did not get to the gym since Damien's orientation for school lasted longer than expected and the weather took a turn for the worse.  I also did not successfully cut out soda today.  I had a blasting headache after orientation and knew I need caffeine and gave in to my Cherry Coke Zero.  Really, how bad is diet soda?  I know it has artificial sugars and honestly know better but really can't stay away!!  I have increased my water intake more to about 30ozs, I know I need more but its a start..

The Start to a New Me

The time has come that I must buckle down and get in shape and get my health in control, today is the day!  This will be a place where I track my progress, keep my feelings and a place to be motivated and maybe even vent a little.  I know this will be a hard journey but I WILL and CAN do this!!
