Hey Girlfriend!
Nothing too epic to report … just keeping on keeping on!
I've been sick as all get out the week with this stupid cough! Well, I SAY sick but I DID got to the doctor Wednesday and, according to her, I'm NOT sick. Ohhhhhh Kayyyyyyy. I was all over my "detoxing, not sick" theory but this has been going on for over a week now. Yesterday I think I may have coughed up my spleen … so I"m starting to think I may be sick after all. Whatever. Doesn't really matter … as long as my back doesn't go out (which I can't believe hasn't happened yet!) On the bright side my tummy muscles are getting QUITE the workout! I have a yummy cough syrup to take at bedtime - it has codeine in it. Apparently I really LIKE codeine! lol. I'll get there … Every day I think I'm a little better …. although Craig disagrees and whilst he was VERY patient and empathetic the first few days he is now ready for me to be done this gig!
So … how has this all affected my master health plan? It really hasn't! … aside from the fact that I can't do a cleanse until I'm 100% again (too hard on the body).
I am thrilled to report I have been 100% NAILING the healthy eating! Shake for breakfast, either a shake, a bar or a super healthy lunch and controlled, reasonable dinners! No snacking either! All week I have had the opportunity to eat crap (leftover potato chips and candy from Alicia's party, ice-cream, girl guide cookies, Costco sized bag of M&M peanuts AND HAlloween chocolate!) but I haven't had ANY! No, I don't have massive amounts of willpower. I don't WANT it! It's the weirdest thing! Historically, I RARELY eat or snack because I'm hungry. I usually do so because I'm bored or procrastinating on something. I also like to mindlessly pop Smarties in my mouth while crafting. This week … nuthin! Wanda TOLD me that on Isagenix you wouldn't have cravings. I didn't think much of it as I don't usually CRAVE the crap .. I just eat it! This week that hasn't happened. the BIGGEST surprise was Tuesday. I made ribs for dinner. Ribs have always been one of my favourites. I boil the ribs for a few hours. I then LOVE to have a few of them just freshly out of the pot (yes, just boiled meat) with some salt and pepper. I then usually have one when I put the sauce on … and then of course about 5 with dinner. So Tuesday I boiled them up. I ad a little nibble (like one bite) of the boiled meat. It was ok … didn't have more. Did't sneak any pre-dinner. Had 6 with dinner. Blech! I ATE them .. but as I was nearing the end I realized (when I slowed down and actually though about the taste) I wasn't really enjoying them! Afterwords I felt GROSS! SO greasy/fatty and heavy!! I guess my tastes/loves for fatty foods is changing. I guess I should be happy about that … I just don't know how to sea with it! lol. I've ALWAYS loved fatty foods - especially FAT! Steak fat, bacon fat, pork fat. Wow. This new me is going to take a whir to get to know! The way I SEE myself is starting to change. I'm starting to be one of "those" people. The ones who make good choices all the time … because they truly LIKE the healthy food.
Humph. Who'd'a'thunk?
(Oh! FY 0 weighed myself today as my jeans almost literally fall down when I walk now. I was 195.6. Thought I'd be less … but all good. My system isn't right this week - little "backed up" and Aunt Flo is just leaving … not sure why I stepped on the scale, actually but it's ok. I'm not bothered by it … just confirming I'm down from where I started.)
Off I go to start my Saturday. Craig is making hoe made hash browns and eggs. Hmmm. It IS the weekend … mane I'll have some eggs today.
Have a great weeked. TTYS!
Tam
