What is this, day 15?
I'm FINALLY halfway there! I am stinking at this blogging thing already, and I'm only 2 weeks in! I've done well for the last few days in the sense that I haven't cheated. I figured out that I can eat at Pei Wei, just order Thai Blazing Noodles and swap the noodles for bean sprouts, leave off the edimame. I went to Ihop and ordered the "3 eggs and pancakes" meal deal and swapped the pancakes for two slices of ham, then had a blackberry, strawberry and banana smoothie for the carbs (this was more of a two- part brunch situation than a breakfast and a lunch... not sure that even makes sense). I've been supplementing my diet with snacks of larabars or fruit leathers. I hit a wall on day 13; having gotten past frivulous cravings for things like cookies or ice cream or even grilled cheese sandwiches, I've reached a point where I feel I could fight someone for a bowl of cheerios- no sugar, just simple carbs with SIMPLE PREP. I think my hitting the wall was due in part to the fact that I have been working the morning shift at the coffee house and I am very tuckered out lately- I got home from working out on day 13 and just wanted a bowl of cereal. I didn't want to cheat but I didn't want to cook so I just watched TV until my mom got home and told me to make a quick salad and go to sprouts to stock up on Larabars and sliced turkey. I took her advice and went to bed at 9:15, and the next day was a lot better. Today was day 15 and I'm still on track, though I have indulged in 3 fruit leathers (each equal to 1/2 serving of fruit) which I'm sure would have been better replaced with actual fruit or vegetables, but eh, I didn't cheat and that was a way to sort of... indulge. So I'm halfway there, I think it'll be a little easier knowing I have already done more than I have left to do... but DANG this is hard! I'm planning to try to be more consistent with my posts for the next two weeks, though I start school in 4 days- though this may become my new way to procrastinate studying! I mean, I'd never do that (Hi Mom!).
