day 3 & 4 & 5
so ladies lets just start with HOLLER!!!!!! @ seeing 233 on the scale at the gym tonite....that brings my total to 16 lbs since i started my lifestyle change. i was going to type diet but then i second thought it because this is NOT a diet its a new me for the new year. I was so excited and surprised to see that number i don't feel any thinner as the TOM approaches. my stomach is still feeling rather puffy and i cannot say my dietary habits have been all that immaculate but looks like the awareness of what i put in my mouth is finally paying off!
i didn't go to the gym on day 3 instead i got my nails done and went to the bookstore...i needed a special 'me' time treat....small things like getting ur nails done make u feel special so if you are not doing things like this for yourself DO IT girls, u deserve it! it may be the princess in me but i know i do! haha went out to quizzo at a local bar with friends & had a few vodka tonics (which a friend of mine told me had the lowest amount of calories) and HALLELUJA PRAISE THE LORD did not BINGE afterwards! i snuck a peice of cheese but other than that behaved....WHAT a milestone when i drink i get like a animal and eat everything in sight....so....thursday
went out to charlie browns with my jason and had a wonderful dinner it was delicious....i had the salad bar (yummy) with lowfat ranch a baked potato and a few bites of jays steak...after that i went home and read my book!
I am reading a book called SKINNY BITCH....so far it has taught me ALOT of things i never knew before about living a healthy lifestyle....i LOVE the way it is written in the exact way i talk....real....its basic message is to stop making excuses and start getting skinny! it exposes alot of information on nutritional supplements that u may think are good for u because they are low in calories but in reality are really horrible chemicals for your body...... so far i am aiming at a few new goals for the coming weeks...absolutley NO fake sugar of any kind....no more splenda or equal....it has also inspired me to remove meat from my diet........I don't feel like really getting into it to stray from sounding like i am preaching but in my heart & my mind i feel that being a vegitarian is the right choice for me.....it breaks my heart to thing of the cruel way animals die....humans are no carnivores no matter what you may have been 'brainwashed' into thinking.....get informed and research it for yourself or better yet READ SKINNY BITCH even if you don't agree with everything they say....you cannot help but second guess everything you eat from that point on...i will honestly say that i am 100% committted to trying for organic, raw and live foods at least when it comes to my grains and veggies....i realize that the only way i will be skinny is to be HEALHTY and i think thats huge for me to even concider....i may have downfalls here and there but i am going to try....i feel like the book is really opening my eyes.....it encourages u to be vegan....which after alot of consideration i don't think i can do.....i love cheese too much, i am not a milk drinker and yes i realize its fatting and no longer necissary for me to survive in my diet but i cannot commit to that just yet...i am making alot of changes and i know that too much too soon is a recipe for disaster....tommorow is a new day...i need to get to the grocery store and get some organic produce for my lunch i am very very blessed to have a martindales natural market in the same shopping center as my job! so great....
