Good morning, dear friends!
I'm up 400 grams today. No biggie. I've seen so great results this last week that I'm not gonna complain.
It seem that staying off the sugar has helped me enormously - I'm gonna try to stick to that path.
Old habits die hard though, and even if I haven't "fallen off the wagon" just yet (and have no intentions to do so), I can still tell that there are issues that need dealing with.
Generally, through the day, I am fine. Just fine. I don't need sugars, and I don't miss them. But suddenly I come across a trigger, and bam! there they are.
If I go by a store where I'd stop by for something in my "old life", bam! it's there. I get hungry instantly.
If I experience something stressful, bam!
If I get too bored, bam!
You get the pattern.
So far, I stay clear simply by keeping my eye on the prize.
"Do you really wanna NOT lose weight for days to have that chocolate bar? No, I didn't think so. Move along, pal. Good boy."
This works for me, it seems. It's really simple, but it takes that we evaluate what is worth more. And in the moment this can be a tough one to do. I fully realize that. But on the other hand, it really is that simple. Just say no. Move along.
So why is it that we so often simply don't do it? Why is it that we keep eating what is essentially making us feel WORSE? I have no answers, but I know that I am as guilty as anyone else here.
To me, it's gotta be a matter of handling it. It's no easy task, but it's not impossible either. Looking back, I went for 8 full months with NO candy. None. Well, that's a lie, actually. I had ONE hard candy. A friend sent up root beer barrels, and I wanted to taste them. They were overly sweet and not deliscious at all.
This is how I'd like to be again. 5 days down, on my 6th day now. I don't miss it, I don't want it. I feel that I am much more in balance with the foods I have had the last days. Wife and I are cooking low calorie food, and we're doing great at it.
Yesterday I made a mean Chili Sin Carne, with tons of mushrooms instead of meat. Plenty of kidney beans and peppers and all kinds of healthy goodies. It was sooo good! I can't wait to have the rest for lunch. lol.
My new calorie counter at Madlog.dk is very nice. I really like it. It's a little different from the FS one, but essentially not better or worse, just different. I can find more of the foods that are available here in this one, and this helps a lot.
Only thing is I need to weigh in on both websites. No biggie.
I'm feeling better today, but still not there. I have decided to take one more day off from work, and get a little better still. I can tell that the penicillin is working. It's making me feel somewhat better, but it also makes me super tired. I think that's normal.
Also, I think it makes me retain water. I read a little online about this, as it was a quick theory of mine when I saw the weight gain after having done so well yesterday, and it seems that there ARE theories that penicillin can mess with you a little bit.
Still, I don't think it holds on to the fat I need to lose, maybe just retain water. It'll be gone in a few days.
I feel a gazillion times betting weighing 90.8 than I did at 95 a few days ago.
Today I'm thankful for: - Feeling better. - Penicilling. - NOT freaking out over a weight gain! LOL! - Morning Coffee. - Working out today, sick or not. I'm determined.
Have an awesome day, folks! Life is good! :)
