So as these days go by I find myself wanting to eat less, and not really missing the old foods. Although walking around the mall today made me look more then once at the pretzel place!
I have been trying not to weigh myself on a daily basis, but its so hard not to! I am not going to share of course what the scale says till my 2 week mark but its very exciting for me. Matt's been doing good with his diet as well, right now he's sick, has spent the better part of the past 24 hours in bed so he hasn't been doing the workout. The initial workout that I was doing was too high impact on my ankle, so I have switched to using the elliptical in the gym and just some basic stuff (crunches, sit ups, push-ups) to pass the time. I find it a lot harder on my 4 days on to be able to keep up with an exercise routine only because working the hours I work I am almost always too exhausted to the point where I have no desire to go into the gym before or after I come home from work. I have been doing good so far with keeping up with working out on my days off so that's a big plus.
I did a feel good thing for myself today, last week it was hair cut, dye, nails, pedicure, and waxing :o) Today it was a Keratin treatment for my hair. Supposed to reduce frizz and relax curls, non-damaging to the hair at all! So I have been doing some more stuff for me.
I am amazed as the days are going on the junk that I am not putting into my body and the difference it makes in the way I feel on a daily basis. Don't get me wrong, I am not going to be becoming one of those health-food fanatics who obsesses on every little thing, in the future I still want to be able to enjoy a good hamburger, hot dog, buttered popcorn, or *sigh* pretzels from the mall. It just I need to take that stuff in moderation once I reach my goal weight. I am hoping as the weeks go on, that I am going to be craving these items less and less, so I wont spontaneously buy this stuff when I am in the mood for it. It was extremely hard walking through Wegman's today and passing the bakery section... I think people probably would have thought I was weird if I started sniffing all the goodies.
So as I am entering into day 7, I am looking at everything that I am doing, and I am happy with the way things are going. If it was up to me, I would drop all the weight in a week and be done with it. But I know I have taken a while to get myself into this state, so it's going to take a while to get me out of it.
On a side note, I wanted to make a comment to my friend Jen Deane who has lost well over 100 lbs this past year, and has been doing such a good job in keeping herself healthy, getting into shape, and ensuring she is going to be around a long time to look after her 3 kids. Jen, you are doing an amazing job, don't let anyone tell you otherwise! Keep up the great work!
That's all for today. I have nothing particularly fascinating to write about today. No great recipes, but if anyone ever wants to share I am all for it! Give you another update in a day or 2!!
