So I've been very good on my diet up until day 11, I've been feeling good, but I've come to the conclusion that I have a weird relationship with food. I know how to eat, I know why some foods are not good for you, but when I feel like throwing in the towel, or being 'bad' all the rules go out the window. I love being my own guinea pig though, so I'm really interested in figuring this whole emotional eating or whatever it is out. I think it's really simple to say eat this and workout x amount/wk, but I think weight loss and fitness is a lot more than just black and white. It's very hard for people who are used to being one way to comletely just changed their habits. It's scary, and different, and even more so when you make huge changes. I mean I'm not even at my goal weight, and most times I'm teeter tottering btw +/- 15lbs; I've been a lot bigger so sometimes it makes me get a little complacent and less motivated to push myself especially to be something that I'm not.

Anyways, when I cut the white foods I do feel a lot better. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that all my 'bad' foods don't taste good anymore. I had sugar free cookies, carb free soda, pizza, grilled cheese this weekend, so in the grand scheme of thing it isn't too horrendous, but I always take these blips as a learning experience. I'm so exhausted with beating myself up that I just won't, lol. That's why I've been lax on the weigh ins b/c I refuse to carry the shame of some heinous person for being up on the scale, there are worse things to fret over.

I think I'm rambling at this point, per usual, lol, but the consensus for me in being successful I've found is:

~Must workout before eating
~Must drink my alloted water amount before eating
~Must plan foods out in advance, anytime to think is usually dangerous territory

I ended up working out yesterday even though it was my rest day so I'm not forcing myself to workout today. I have to leave in about an hour to head to this week, and I hate feeling rushed so I'm just going to take it easy and make sure I don't forget anything. I'm trying to get my water req out of the way before I go, but I'm making myself nervous that I'll have to keep peeing during my travels and train bathrooms are gross, lol.

I'm getting bored w. chicken as protein, so I picked up some steak from the grocery store that I'm excited about. I have no idea how to cook steak and make it taste good since I hardly ever eat/crave it, so it was nice to find some pre-made food I can just chop up and put on my salad tonight.

I'm thinking if I get back in enough time and have the energy or desire to workout than I will, but if not I'm not going to stress it. I've been doing really well so whatever. Not sure if you guys have heard of Shirataki (Miracle Noodles) but a lot of low carbers use them as faux noodles, and I think I'm going to try adding them again. I didn't care for them when I tried them once before, the texture bugged me, but I was reading last night that there are ways to prepare them that fix that a little bit, and I think I'm going to need some variety. Now onto finding a local place that carries them should be the fun part.

I ended up doing my workout for today, yesterday, so now I have a rest day, yay! I think I might still do a workout if I have the energy, but I love the fact that I don't have to if I don't want to. I have a nice soreness in my upper body and this woman I met at the post office told me I look like I workout, woot woot!

My diet has been flawless and I'm very excited. I started cutting back last week, and now I'm 100%! No diet soda, no cheese, no cravings; the hardest part is starting and/or getting back on the wagon, but everyday that I stay committed it becomes easier. I'm not as hungry either, so I think I was eating a lot out of boredom. I've been eating just one meal a day, not intentionally, but it's been working out that way, just lean meat and veggies and a few nuts for snacks. I actually have a wake to go to this week :( and I'm hoping I don't have to deal with any food offered.

Nothing really new going on, just really focusing on some business goals I have for the month. I'm eating pretty much the same thing every day so I don't have to worry about much cooking or anything or about having to cheat. I'm getting much stronger so my workouts aren't as torturous as they were when I first started. I found a workout buddy on Facebook and we're already talking about other programs to do after Brazil Butt Lift so that's fun to have another person doing the same thing and that can hold me accountable, yay!
