Releasing Creatively

THIRD POST! RECAP/FOOD

Week 1 I was in it to win it. I did everything by the book. Had no cheats. Ate perfectly. Then messed up my Saturday Session workout. LAME! I was so pissed off. Plus i was super cranky from reducing the size of portions that I had grown accustom. Oh well blow it off, move on too week two.

Week 2 smooth sailing. The workouts got easier I am faster and feel stronger. No cheats until....I freak out and am craving sugar from the beginning of the day Friday (6am) until 3pm. When I fall. I am at the grocery store and I purchase a Coke. (I know. I should be shot.) Here I am Trying to lose weight and I eat candy.

...Oh! You don't know me.....

 While I am not a large consumer of sweets....YES I AM!
I could eat a candy bar every day and clean it up with a tub of ice cream. It has happened before not frequently, because I know I love to eat...So I don't buy the stuff as a general rule. But at work there is a bowl of Snickers, and Mars Bars, individually wrapped funsize chocolates that I could just inhale if I was stressed enough. (I wouldn't really need to be stressed.)

So back to this coke. I drank a bit of the coke. It was great for one drink. It took me three days to finish the coke and by the end of this sad flat 600ml bottle of coke I really didn't want it. But I forced myself to down it. At the time I thought. I am going to allow myself this one sweet a week and it felt like a good choice. Going through the day with a craving so intense must mean that I am sugar deprived. Fast forward one week later. I have the second coke. It was 2 for $5. I had decided to have one once a week. I had some yesterday and again first drink was ok. Not as good as the week before. I have finished the bottle because I don't want to drink it anymore. It made me feel bad and hurt my stomach. I have switched coke for Schwepps Sparkling Mineral Water with Lime. YUM!

I have been cooking so much that I have a freezer full of food. I am going to use them for my meals this week. This means I will cook a bit less this week! YAY! And I have two weeks of holidays at the end of this week. I am set to be awesome by week 6.

Last bit of information. I can now fit in all my old clothes except this one pair of shorts. They never really fit me at my fittest. I think they will fit me comfortably in 2 or three more weeks. I can't wait to see.
