Today was...difficult. I was SO hungry! I had a spinach/tomato egg white scramble for breakfast, grapefruit for snack, veggie burger celery and some lettuce for lunch. Protein shake made with vanilla protein powder, almond milk, ice and a TBSp of almond butter (it wasnt half bad). Dinner was veggie burger and roasted asparagus. Snack was greek yogurt with truvia and cinnamon. I survived....BARELY. 6 more days to go.
I think part of the difficulty is the withdrawal from sugar and the want of constant snacking. I always want to be munching on something. So it is important for me to stay distracted. Today was a lovely day so colbs and I spent a good portion of the morning at the park.
Really, I always want to give up. Today I had to talk myself out "quitting"about ten times. This thought popped into my head frequently, "just stuff your face today, you will start tomorrow". For a moment, I felt enlightened. I dont want to screw today up and start all over tomorrow. By the end of tomorrow, I want to have 2 days down and move on with my life. It will just get easier and easier.
My numbers this morning were less than stellar. 156 on the scale, and embarrassment of measurements followed shortly thereafter. It pains me to think that around thanksgiving I was in the 130s, only to be in the 150s. Just horrible. BUT, I am not going to dwell on it b/c today I was strong and I got thru day 1. Tomorrow is a new day and I get to try out a new protein pancake recipes. Excited!
