My brother-in-law warned me that the week wouldn't be so hot with the weight loss, but I Sunday I had only lost a pound, but when I woke up yesterday and weighted, I had lost 3 pounds. So it was another good week!
I didn't get the opportunity to get a post on yesterday, so I am doing it today. My job is great, but yesterday I came into work and we had met another goal, so we get more food!! Bagels. I love bagels, so I go to get one and they have the cheddar/jalapeno bagel and I grab it and take it to my desk, but what is going on in my head? You would think it was the civil war North against South, and that's about how fierce the battle is ragin'. Eat the bagel, don't eat the bagel, well how many calories is it? Don't know, but it won't be that big of deal. So what do I do, nothing, the bagel is still sitting on my desk this morning, and today when we got into work, there were donuts, and then about an hour later there was a sticky cheese dip and crackers from one of the agencies that we support. This is why I hate the holiday season. I can't get started, and it takes every part of my will power to not start, but seriously, Bagels, Donuts, Chesse Dip, why don't you hook my up to an IV drip of melted LARD!! I would love to eat these things, and I should be enjoying these thing, but I can't afford another day of being unhealthy and overweight, I can't afford shortening my life anymore than I have by being overweight. I want to be healthy for my future kids, I want to be healthy and strong for my wife and our future together. I want to be around for my kids and the active lives that they should live. And I have to be the example. I don't want my kids learning valuable life lessons from someone other than me. I will be responsible for their lives, and it is something that can't be taken lightly. So thank you Donuts, Bagels, Sticky Cheese Dip, but our relationship is put on hold for now.
Last night my wife and I went shopping, and we picked up some Breyers Double Churned Fat Free ice cream and we usually eat ice cream like this, we split the carton into two, we'll eat one half tonight and the other tomorrow. Usually I have more because I absolutley LOVE ice cream, and so a carton of ice cream will last the two day weekend. Last night though was different. I don't mind eating something like that if it is eatten right, so I scooped up the ice cream and my wife looks at me like, "is that it?" And I looked at her like, "I know, it sucks!" We had about a cup of ice cream, which is still two of the recommended servings and I put it away and we split a banana and we finished watching the movie that we started the night before. And you know I felt good. I didn't blow my diet and I went to bed not feeling bloated.
Today my workout consists of going outside with a friend of mine at work and running around with a backpack filled with weights. I am pretty excited, but this is going to be different. Oh and I forgot to mention that he was an Army Ranger, so yeah I think I am pretty much screwed! But it should be fun and different! It's good to throw a stick in the spokes once in a while. And today is the day!!
