Thrown from the wreckage
Oh my, I'm certainly getting behind on the whole keeping track of my food deal.
Sunday lunch: Bowl of Oatmeal and whole wheat toast with peanut butter (I don't know why those two thing go together in my mind but they just do)
Sunday supper: Beans and weiners and 2 peices of wholewheat bread with maragine (yeah I know...but you can't have it without margarine...you just can't!)
Late night snack: one peice of whole wheat cinnamon raisin bread (homemade by yours truely) with margarine and honey.
Breakfast this morning: Veggie egg beater with sausage and lowfat cheese slice, one glass of soy orange juice
Snack this morning: homemade protein bar.
Lunch today: Blue menu macaroni and cheese (not bad but a little Saucier than I like), sliced carrots (no dip, YAY! I ate them without dip and I liked them!)
Supper tonight: Homemade chicken fingers (baked lowfat ones from "Grazing"
) and Lowfat baked spicy cheese fries from the same book. with Low fat broccoli and cheese. YUM! this was a super mega awesome supper. Monk ate a whole chicken finger on his own and most of it ended up in him instead of down the front of his chair!
You know sometimes you get discouraged and you think "ugh, this is never going to work. I've been doing this how long and nothing has happened? if something was going to happen it would have already." Well I think I reached that point sometime last week. Fortunatly, I stuck it out anyway. On my last trip to the gym (on Friday) the scale budged. I didn't mention it because I figured it was a fluke or something and that today when I went to the gym I'd find myself right back at 288. Well guess what? It didn't happen. The scale today was ......drumrolll please......
286.
I ran into a friend of mine at the gym (she works there but only one night a month) and I hadn't seen her since last month. She said she could tell in my face that I'm slimming down. I told her the scale hasn't budged. But she said I must be doing something right because I'm looking great. I'm feeling pretty good too. When I do my weights I concentrate really hard on how I'm getting strong with ever lift and putting all my positive energy into it. I noticed this week that I can easily do up the lower button on my coat and it doesn't pull anymore. And I noticed that my pants are fitting differently. I realise that 2 lbs is not very much but if it's possible when I feel my stomach (right around my waist) I can feel that it is smaller. I don't know how I can but I do.
The Coolest thing of all: When I using the pectoral machine tonight I could see myself in the mirror and I could see my muscles under all that fat. I could see them contract with each lift. That's wild. I might have some massive muscles under all that fat. Maybe someday you'll see me win a body building competition. "I used to eat grease, now I rub it all over my body!"
