Day three into this new life change of mine and I must say things are going great. It is always frustrating when I start something like this because of course I never see immediate results. This however, is the first time I have adapted my diet along with my work outs.
Although, I never did rid my life of the "evil 6" I am still checking labels, which I honestly never did in the past. I am only eating things with real ingredients and I am trying to avoid the evil 6.
Today because of the kick boxing and other work out's my muscles are pretty sore, so for my work out today I plan on stretching as much as possible. So I did a 30 min Yoga video which was embarrassing, because I am NOT flexible. Also I did a 20 min warm up stretching video. Both were exactly what I needed to help my poor muscles.
Diet : Breakfast~ Banana and Blueberry smoothie
Lunch~ Grilled chicken with gluten free corn tortilla's (3) and 1 cup of heated pinto beans
Dinner~ Orange chicken 1/2 cup and 1 cup of white steamed rice
Snack~ one hard boiled egg , 1/2 cup of fat free vanilla yogurt with blueberries
Cheat~ a few sips of hubby's root beer float honestly a few sips!
When my husband recommended that we go out for dinner, of course I was super excited to not cook. However, I began to panic when he suggested Chinese food. I am a new beginner at this healthy life style stuff but I know that Chinese food is not so great for my lifestyle adventure change.
I calmed down and decided that I am going to face challenges like this all the time and I need to learn to just adapt and overcome. So when the crab puff wan ton's were ordered, I had none. Also the pork fried rice, I had none. I kept my plate super empty and just stuck to the chicken and white rice. I know those two things were still bad for me, but it felt like a win.
Also, after wards we went through A&W which we NEVER do, seriously we budget our money very closely and we do not splurge like ever. So when my husband wanted to get a root beer float it was really really hard not to order something sweet. The girls got a vanilla cone to share and my husband got a root beer float then paused and asked the question I was praying he would not ask; "babe, do you want anything?" I about said, Yes, I will have a cone and a float, but I stayed strong and settled for taking just a few sips from his float. Overall it was a great day and I am happy to report after the weigh in at the end of the day from 202.4 pounds my new weight is ...................................199.0 Pounds!!!! That's right I lost weight!! I am so excited! I look forward to tomorrow.
