Day 2
Not as motivated as I was yesterday. However I was so pleased to wake up feeling typical as opposed to the last attempt a month ago when I woke up day 2 in a pool of sweat with the room spinning.
So, I headed off to work and fell into a major caffeine withdrawl. I think I stayed in this funk until midday (I took a small coffee at this point as I really wasn't functioning in a safe manner).
AM- (5:20)
1 small orange
Mid AM- (7:45)
2 hard-boiled egg whites
16 oz water
Cheat: 1/2c coffee, no cream or sugar
Lunch- (11:20)
1 small orange
2 hard-boiled egg whites
16 oz water
By 5pm I'm feeling majorly down and have no will power to continue the cleanse. I have no energy and know that I still have 5 more hours of awake time. So, I debate between throwing in the towel or cheating. Throwing in the towel and eating a big dinner sounds so inticing. I follow my brain, rather than my stomach, and drink another 16oz water - it does NOTHING for my craving to binge. My kids come out of dance class with valentine candy, and I eat some. So, now I've cheated again - ten little message hearts. At this point I normally say, we'll you've screwed up so may as well eat everything else I want to eat. Thankfully Bob's voice is in the back of my head reminding me to think about how this will impact my future, and my cheat stops at ten candies rather than the box of mac n' cheese I'm cooking for my kids.
PM- (5:45)
3.5 oz chicken breast grilled on George
Surprisingly, I'm feeling upbeat again - I think the 6 hour break between meals caused my earlier crash.
One rib of celery
I'm struggling through another bottle of water - it's getting really dull - I'm 1.5 bottles short of my goal for the day. Hopefully I can drink those before bed.

ReplyDeleteComment: Don't worry about the past cause you can't go back there.
Recommendation 1: Eat 3 meals as prescribed instead of 4(breakfast split).
Recommendation 2: Everything you put in your mouth, solid and liquid, either brings you closer to your goals or takes you away.
You speak of BS for having this blog is simply psychological; however despite having it you ALLOWED yourself to eat those candies and caffeine. Your body didn't NEED those. Your mind wanted those because your eyes saw them or nose smelled them. Out of site- out of mind. If you never saw it you would never think of it as an option.
Recommendation 3: I am in now way telling you how to parent, but if you want to eat healthy feed your family healthy too. They follow your example. Don't give them an option. If they want to eat they eat what you prepare or have available to access. Again- out of sight out of mind.
Love bluntness, it's the kick in the pants I need!
