Whoops sorry I haven’t posted in a few days.
Thursday I think the carb deprivation was getting to me. I
think when I am “watching what I eat” I become so focused on food. I have the weirdest
cravings. My coworker who is also a blogger of http://klutzcrossing.blogspot.com/
will hear the most random things from my cube. Ohhh Chocolate Chip Cookies.
Grilled Cheese and Chicken Noodle Soup. Chocolate Ice Cream with MM’s. White
Cheese Dip. Chips and Salsa. BBQ Sandwich. Taco Bell. Noodles & Co. No I am
NOT preggers. These cravings are little gremlins that throughout the day appear
and chant. Chocolate...Chocolate... Chocolate. Hey did you friggin hear me. CHOCOLATE!
I become so focused on food. Try to hear my thoughts over the chant of the gremlins. The other day I printed something for
my boss and went into the copy room/break room and walked up to the microwave
and looked in it. What was I doing?! The printer doesn’t print there! What did
I expect to find?
This weekend was one of my first big tests. The Lake!
Luckily my dad asked me what foods he could get that could
help me stay on track. And he went to the store for me! So great to have support and encouragement.

On Saturday I started the day with my protein shake and had
an apple as a snack on the boat. For lunch we went to Shorty Pants on the Lake by
boat. The frozen drinks and BBQ and fatty foods were so tempting. Instead, I
had water, a spinach salad, and half of my sister’s grilled chicken sandwich.
And two bites of my fruit cup, it wasn’t very good and I could tell it was from
a can and not fresh. Before dinner we
went on a 1.5 mile hike through the Ozark State Park. The rocks and inclines
gave a nice slight burn in the legs.
Then we fixed dinner at the condo. Grilled
chicken, corn on the cob, spinach salad, grilled peppers. And my dessert 2
slices of pineapple!
I am confident that these choices will become easier and
these cravings will lessen.
Just got to keep after it.
