MCD: Day 5
I can't believe I have completed 5 whole days of this craziness! For someone who is addicted to food and cooking and sharing it and the joy and comfort it brings...and memories associated with it, I am really REALLY proud of myself! I worked out and weighed myself for the first time today since I started the diet. Assuming I started at 162 lbs max, which is probably true with a margin of error of at most 2 pounds, I have lost 8 pounds in the first 5 days! I know a lot of it is water weight and bodily waste that had built up in my body but I am glad I am lighter and a LOT more energetic. Today a did a workout in MacD for about 1.5 hours. This was more productive than most of my regular workouts esp because it was in MacD. before I started the diet and I was working out, it was irregular but I tried to do 3 miles on the treadmill every time and I did a little very very minimal bit of strength. Today I did about 1 mile on the treadmill but I felt really light and it was not hard and I probably could have done a lot more but I didn't. I just wanted to ease into things and warm up and it served its purpose. I lifted weights and did free weights as well as machines. I did arms and back and abs and legs! I am really happy with myself! and It was nice because most of the douchebaggers were not there being that it is a friday night and most firsties are out celebrating service selection. That was a good thing. I really like working out in MacD and should go there more often especially in the mornings though or during free periods when not as many people and assholes are in there. I did not pass out or feel weak or light headed at all which I was afraid I would since I haven't eaten any food since Sunday. I know I can do this diet for a long period of time in terms of will power since the results are so satisfying. If only it weren't for christmas and eating, then I would just try to do a whole forty day transformation to take me into the new year. When I get home and start eating normally again though, I really have to remember to take it slow and eat for taste and enjoyment in small portions and eat also more healthy yet delicious foods. I also want to take more enjoyment out of the cooking process and the sharing process with others instead of the eating and the going out and eating. This focus will enable me to really appreciate food an enable myself to do what I enjoy which is cooking for those that I love and making them happy. I need to eat more salads and lean proteins when I eat and eat out as well. It's about having healthy and delicious food. I used to be all about butter and flavor and going all out even if its unhealthy paula deen style...and I still am in that mindset for special occasions like xmas and such but I will just eat less of the fatty food and fill up more on the healthy foods!
I am proud of myself and I want to keep going strong until I go home!
It is nice to say that I followed this diet "100%"!!! NOT just reasonably well :D
yayyyyyyyy!
tomorrow I will try to do a workout in the morning when I wake up and a workout at night
