I know I said I would write everyday, it’s been a rough but
successful couple of days. At first I
felt super great! But then I think my
body started to realize; hey this chick is NOT giving me the yummy fat stuff I
want! So, yummy healthy food it is.
SLEEP is GOOD!
The other night I didn’t sleep, so I struggled all day to
make the right choices! When your brain
lacks rest, because of the sleep apnea, the brain sends messages to the body to
fill it with fat and sugars! So, I did
good but it was an uphill battle to do so!
For breakfast I started with a glass of Trop50, did you know
fruit in the morning helps speed up your metabolism for the day?! So I had my juice, and handful of
strawberries! I then made some eggs, I
put mushrooms and green peppers in it and topped it with salsa! It was delicious!
Later in the day when I needed a snack, I had a handful of
Kind granola and some raisins!
The rest of the day was pretty similar to the day
before. But I was still feeling
GREAT! I felt lighter and fresher! HUH, kind of like the food I was eating.
Saturday was a tough day, I woke up and I felt sluggish and
not 100% me. I spent the morning running
around doing things I needed to get done, I packed my snack and me and kids
were off. On the way home from running
our errands, I grabbed the kids lunch and I went home to eat. I will not lie to you, I ate a few chicken
nuggets off the kids plates, but I paid for it.
That sluggish not 100% me went completely to horrible stomach pains and
awful trips to the bathroom. I know that
might me a lot of information, but I will not touch the stuff again.
I don’t think the
food made me sick by itself. I was
already not feeling good, and I eventually ended up running a fever. But that night we went to my friend’s 30th
birthday party. We have been friends
since we were 5! And so she has seen me
go up and down in weight all these years!
She was so encouraging and told me this is my year. And that she was here with me along the
way. Thank You everyone for being so
encouraging and something she said was that she was helping me along the way
and I just feel so blessed and honored so many people want to be involved!
The party was a buffet! That is like a fat person’s dream
come true, but the skinny girl inside me was cheering me on the whole time. “VEGGIES
VEGGIES VEGGIES”! It helped my stomach
was still weak, but I was hungry. So I
filled my plate with the steamed veggies, they were delicious and a scoop of the
potatoes! The potatoes were delicious too,
but it’s moderation. I was happy that I
could follow my plan while being out at a social gathering and I skipped
dessert!
Oh yea, did I mention I wore heels?! That might not seem like a big deal, but
heels are a confidence thing, and I felt confident in the days before and how I
was feeling that I put those heels on and I wore them to the party! My feet hurt, but I looked GOOOOOOOD!
So my friends, not having to count all these points is like
a weight (no pun intended) off my shoulders! I’m proud because I am eating
healthy and realistic!
Grace’s 2nd
birthday was today and I made a small gluten free, dairy free cake, with dairy
free icing! It was a little bland, and I
mean just a little…but I had a slice and walked away from the cake!
I’m looking forward to feeling better and to the week
ahead!
Prayers!
