Empowerment

Even when I have a day like yesterday, just going to the gym and getting in a good workout, pushing myself, feeling a cool sweat, is a great feeling. It makes me feel strong and like I can do this. Working out is my key to keep this up. Cause the eating is hard for me.

Food Positives:
-I've had 2 or 3 Pepsis in 5 weeks. That's bigtime.
-I am eating smaller portions or meal replacement shakes, which I like.
-I am not having donuts for breakfast, ever.
-Before, I usually found myself at Panera Bread or Camille's for a "healthy" lunch, but I have not done that at all the last 5 weeks.
-I almost always have a good (healthy) breakfast.

Food Negatives:
-I cheat everyday. An M&M here; a bit of cheese there. I want to get to point where I'm not doing that.
-I have weak parts of my day where I just totally lose it. Usually late afternoon/early evening.
-Sometimes, I just keep on eating!

I want to get the negatives under more control, but I think if I can keep consistent on my workouts, these negatives will not pull me out of this challenge.

Day 10

My eating this week isn't as "strict" as is was last week. I guess you may know that if you've read my previous posts.

I had a handful of chocolate chips today. They say dark chocolate is good for you.
We went to Lone Star tonight. I had yummy salmon and steamed veggies, but didn't pass up the bread and incredible honey butter.

I want to do BFL in the real world.

I don't want friends to quit asking me to lunch because of this.

I figure if I am eating BFL 90% of the time, that is OK.

The workouts are going really well. Tom says not to even get on the scale for 4 (four!) weeks.

Just keep on keeping on.

This Can't Be Right

I've been reading bits and pieces of the Body for Life book....

I am going to be eating Six (count them 1-2-3-4-5-6) times a day.

One serving protein and 1 serving carbs, adding 2 veggies and some "good" fats here and there.

And why are people going on starvation diets?
