Wow. I am floored by the support I have gotten from friends and family in the past 3 days! Seriously, I am feeling really blessed tonight to have such great people in my life. It really is such a help through the day and cravings to know that someone cares enough to see me succeed.
Awe, I'm getting all mushy. I better stop or I'll start craving a cupcake. ;o) (Any kind of emotion usually sends me to carbs, that's a whole other blog.)
I'm really inspired by rock stars I know like J, D, K, and J. These are ladies who know how to stick it out for the long term. I want to be like them when I grow up. It makes me want to sing...did you ever know that you're my hero....and everything I would like to be...okay, I'll stop....I can fly higher than an eagle...no, really, I'm done...cause you are the wind beneath my wings.
Okay, it's out of my system.
Today, day three, went well. Breakfast was eggs and turkey bacon (I'm totally starting to dig eating breakfast!). Lunch was a turkey roll up, cucumbers, grape tomatoes, and a dab of SF/FF honey mustard(It is also gluten free, cholesterol free and something else free. It would only be better if it was cha-ching$ free!) Snacks were peanuts and a dab of pb. Dinner was a yummy stew/soup I made of lean beef, fire roasted tomatoes, mushrooms, black beans, green beans, and peas. It was delicious. I did have a 2 in. square of Levi's whole wheat tortilla "pizza". But, it was all healthy stuff and teeny so, I'm good.
I'm finding this a bit easier so far than I expected. I have had some cravings but, they have not been out of control. Maybe it is because I have not ventured out of the house much in the past 3 days. Tomorrow will be a test. Levi and I have our Secret 2 Joy play date/study and we usually all go to McDs after. I want a salad. I want a salad. Sorry, I was practicing convincing myself. The funny thing is, I think I really do want a salad.
I was telling a friend Monday night that my motivation behind this is different this time. I think that is going to be the difference that keeps me going. I will share that motivation with you soon. It may even be my next post. We'll see.
Until then, you will just have to wait with anticipa....
Well... McDs does have an AMAZING southwest chicken salad with grilled chicken! :) I dont even use the dressing with it. I just squeeze the lime over it
ReplyDeleteMay I (and Deana) suggest the Southwest Grilled Chicken Salad from McD? LOVE it! And love you. And your blog. And your desire to improve yourself in front of the world to see. Keep it up girl. You can do this!!
ReplyDeleteMy motivation before was a particular weight, jeans' size, how I would look in a family picture, etc. THIS time it's different for me. I realized I needed to honor God with my food choices and exercise. I cannot be used by Him to my fullest potential if this (or any, really) area of my life was out of control and if I had no energy to serve Him. That changed everything. A smaller jeans' size is now just icing on the cake! :) Oops....sorry for the carb reference...
Well, it seems the Southwest Salad is the way to go! I wonder if they can make it without the corn?
ReplyDeletethere are like 5 kernals of corn! lol
ReplyDeleteand a little dressing goes a long way but i gotta use some! lol
YOU CAN DO IT
oh man, I want some fire roasted tomatoes now.
ReplyDeleteoh, and I totally get the eggs early in the morning thing...not easy :) you're doing great!
