I never thought I would lose 4 lbs in a week. I understand that aside from The Biggest Loser, 4 lbs is not a reasonable amount of weight to lose. I'd say it's water weight, but I do feel better. My pants are fitting slightly better since last week; I don't feel as puffy-stomached as I did last Monday. I have certainly noticed that my cravings are going away. I never thought I could be in the same room as a piece of raw cookie dough and not eat it! Plus, the church is making Easter eggs right now, and I have had ONE. I ate it before I was trying to quit the sugar anyhow.
Saturday morning I had a boiled egg and celery with dip. Then I went to iHop and had an omelet and NO PANCAKES. I didn't even want a pancake. Then we went to Sam's Club and walked through the bakery section. I saw all the cakes and pies and I wasn't even craving them. The oddest thing was I couldn't even imagine what it tasted like. I could for a second, but then it was gone. Sadly, I didn't have water with me, and I was thirsty! I kept thinking, "I need water and vegetables or I will be hungry forever." I cheated a little bit by having a banana and a V-8 Fusion...but that was only because I was traveling in the car, was hungry, and had failed to prepare by bringing enough snacks. Mom had some chocolate flavored almond butter---delightful! But that was pretty much like eating plain chocolate.
Sunday was great, I took an 8 mile bike ride followed by a 6 mile ride. I also brought my Total Gym to the house and did a round on it. Jordon and I worked with eachother and traded reps while the other one rested. I could have used a nice tall glass of milk, but sadly we didn't have any at the house. I didn't cheat at all yesterday even though Mom and Dad had ice cream sandwiches and peanut covered drumsticks at the house. I made myself stay outside for the majority of the time.
I had my snack--cottage cheese with splenda, vanilla extract, and cinnamon...It's delicious! Also, I can't get enough Jello and whipped cream these days. It's addictive! Here's what's funny...Jordon made my Jello last night and informed me that in addition to boiling 8 oz water and pouring in the packet I needed to add 8 more ounces of cold water. No wonder the stuff was so delicious! I hadn't watered it down enough. It also wasn't especially jiggly...but Jmans looks a lot better than mine.
Right now it's 9:49--breakfast was a bacon, egg, cheese, scallion omelet. I needed some veggies, but I forgot to eat them with my meal. I am feeling a little hungry right now, but I will have some celery with a little bit of almond butter. Lunch will be boiled chicken breast and celery with sour cream dip. I will have the sweet cottage cheese as a snack...and I will probably have my Jello and whipped cream here. I haven't planned dinner tonight, but I will be making my asparagus and having one sugar free fudgecicle for dessert. Tonight I plan on jumping rope with Jordon...we like to coach eachother and have little competitions.
Until next time...
