Journaling after 12 days!! And it's been 12 days of a 180 degree turn towards the dark side! I've gained all the wieight I lost and then some!! A couple days ago I had seen crazy numbers on the scale, like 167! 10 pounds gained in 10 days! Arguably, it's water weight. But, that would be an invalid and untrue argument. I am culpable. I did really great for one day in the city (Fri, the 18th), and was telling a friend how I feel transformed...I don't have the cravings, my body feels lighter, and I am definitely very mindful of the tastes and textures and was able to throw out my expensive salad coz it tasted processd, and stayed full on only a 6 inch flatbread veggie subway all day long. I didn't feel the need to eat later at my friends' place either.
But this transformation was short-lived! It started with tempting home-made big fat belgian waffles!Then a cake, margaritas, wines, creme brulle, yummy quiches, rice....and so on all in two days!! Thanks to the amazing cooking of my friends! They weren't forcing me this time, so I gotta blame myself for giving up so quickly!
Well, the two days lead to a whole week ahead of letting myself go, eating lots of calories, not watching what I eat, the craving-monster got unleashed, my body felt lethargic and heavy on these carbs and cals, and I felt no energy or motivation to work out.
Well, so that's that. I have re-started the process with a clean slate today. The plan is:
1) eat healthy balanced diet
2) carbs--only the good kind--earlier in the day. No carbs for dinner
3) More proteins and fibers, lots of veggies, 2 fruits in the day to satisfy the sugar cravings, and milk
4) lots of water
5) eat dinner before 8 pm
6) workout daily
7) journal daily and input on "loseit"
8) Keep empowering thoughts
Menu:
Bfast: protein shake after workout
Lunch: bean or lentil soup with kale (or quinoa or other grain)
snacks: fruits
Dinner: stirfry with veggie meatballs or big salad
The goal is to get toned and in great shape for my upcoming travels and hiking through mountains in national parks this summer!
