Good morning, Fatsecret!
I just realized that the weigh-in I did here yesterday didn't register! I should have double checked, I apologize. I was down a whole kilo, and damn proud of that.
Do you guys also get an error when you weigh in? I get it every day and it's driving me nuts! I have reported it who-know-how-many times to the FatSecret Guy In The Sky, but they don't seem to do much about it. :/
Anyways, I'm down in weigh again today, significantly. Another kilo+ is off.
Yesterday was Indulgence Day, but I didn't feel like I deserved one, and I didn't feel like I needed one. So instead, I focused on reaching my goal, and just stuck to my regular calories.
I am gonna need an Indulgence Day next Saturday, as a dear old friend whom I haven't seen in AGES will be visiting. Good food, a few beers, etc.
Anyways, since it's Sunday, I won't stay long. Just rest assured that it's all good, and that I am dropping weight fast.
Does sugar really affect me that much?!?
I'm giving the "strictly no sugar" thing another go. This essentially means no candies, cakes and all that jazz for me. It means that I will spend ALL my calories on proper food, and not snacks. Not chips and other junk either. Food.
Yesterdays treats were cherry tomatoes and an apple, and plenty of tea. Evening dessert was a strawberry/fatfree milk smoothie with a little sweetener. It was just fine. I think it helps that I am focused on the weight loss, and I get stubborn.
When ever I wanted something sweet, I tried to simply ask myself if I'd rather lose some weight or have the sweet. I could fairly easily make myself see that the bigger mission - the weight loss - was way more important than the little piece of chocolate or whatever I felt like. It really wasn't that bad - probably because I never gave in and had the first piece.
I wanna thank you all for all your amazing comments. You have so many suggestions, great ideas, and so much support that was given to me. Thank you so much.
In response to them, I do think I do by far most of it right:
I do register all my food to the absolute best of my abilities, I weigh pretty much everything, and I am pretty strict with "winging it" when necessary.
I drink TONS of water.
I now avoid the sugars - let's see what happens with that.
I will get back to watch the McKenna videos. They do work!
...
I'm STILL (yup, STILL) fighting my cold, allergies, or whatever it is. It makes it REALLY hard to keep my head in the game. I have a pretty much constant runny nose, I keep sneezing. I keep being cold. I keep feeling sick. Trust me, it's no easy task to stay active and focused with this. It's no easy task convincing myself to go to the gym.
Which reminds me - Gym friday went really well again. I think I like going there. It's such a nice, quiet place in the mornings, and I have fun doing it - especially now that I have my own music with me. It makes it even better.
I'm taking the weekend off from there though. The cold is kicking my butt - but rest assured that I will be there tomorrow at 7 am. I want to, and I need to.
Besides, they're only open at 7 three times a week, Monday, Wednesday and Friday. If I don't go tomorrow, then I can't go until Wednesday. Not gonna happen.
Today, I'm thankful for:
- Amazing omelette!
- A day with Wife, since rehearsing with the band is cancelled. Boo!
- Morning coffee
- Movies and shows! Wife and I just discovered "Flash Forward", an ABC show from a few years back. It's great!
Before I leave - I have teased you guys so many times with my new band project, but haven't really shown anything that we do.
We have finally done a little rehearal video, and we deemed it good enough to share. There's really not a lot to see, just us jamming in a circle. But it gives a pretty good idea of what we play, and what level we're on.
As always, if you actually wanna hear what I play, you need to play this on a stereo system or using headphones. Bass doesn't do well on laptops and ipads.
I hope you like it.
