No no no, I know what you are all thinking. That is NOT the reason that my sense of smell is heightened! But if someone at work brings in McDonald's for lunch, I can smell it from a mile away. Darn you McDonald's! ...Those fries are the tits.
I am actually very surprised about how dedicated I have been to this restricted eating plan. I will try never to use the word DIET because it just has such a negative connotation around it. I do not feel shaky, weak, or foggy. I feel energetic, level-headed and clean. I will be honest, I have been drinking more coffee than usual. I put a sprinkle or 2 of cinnamon on it to sweeten it up. It smells incredible in the morning...especially since it is getting colder out, it get me in the mood for fall. I finally got my shake powder in the mail today so I will be looking forward to dinner!!
(PS. Low of 30 tomorrow. Who is getting her Bath n Body Works fall candles tonight??? THIS GIRL.)
I posted a photo of my breakfast this morning so that you guys can see how easy preparation is! This morning I had:
1 hard boiled egg
1 green apple
1 cup broccoli (I thought broccoli would be hard to stomach in the morning. It was actually delightful. I am eating good and feeling great too.)
I cut up the apple, the eggs were already boiled, and heating up the broccoli took all of 45 secs. Now that is fast food.
I have worked out 3x this week. I tell you what, pilates/yoga is NOT easy. This program allows me to do cardio, strength training and stretching at the same time. I am slowly feeling my body's flexibility increase. It allows me to be at zen with the universe but also have sweat dripping down my face. Touché ! But by no means are these workouts easy. I can not wait to see how my body is going to change!!!
This weekend will be a test! During the week, I am on a schedule. I arise at 615am, eat breakfast by 645a, work by 800a, snack at 10a, lunch at 12p, snack at 3p, workout around 6p, dinner at 730, night night by 10p. I am always busy during the weekdays!The only time I watch tv is right before bed.
On the weekends, I am a homebody. I LOVE being home. Either reading a book, watching movies, working out, cleaning...I will have to work at staying busy at home so that I do not "get bored" and just eat.
Another thing. I figured that Friday would be my "cheat" day. Maybe a small glass of wine, maybe some carbs (WHAT WHAT) But I do not have any cravings for any of those things...(hmmm maybe the wine.) But really, I figured I would be like "I MUST EAT A WHOLE PIZZA!!" But I do not. Not very fun.
Here is a useful article to help stay on track on the weekend!
