Today I feel re energized and pretty content. Though I was really disappointed to miss the meeting last night, I am hoping to get to the 8 am one on Saturday. Better late than never right? I am not nervous about what the scale has to say because I know I am being true to myself and not making poor choices. Yesterday was a horrific day and if I stayed on plan then, I feel like I can definitely do this. Today has been better so far. I had my kefir shake with berries & truvia (the only recommended calorie free sweetener) as well as a small taste of chicken vegetable soup that I cooked from 8:30-9:30 am. The 17 day soup was fantastic! Full of flavor and fresh veggies & protein from the chicken which I baked in the oven with Pam. That chicken would probably be gross on it's own but mixed in the soup was phenomenal and filling! I actually had a good amount of chicken left, so I threw it in Ziploc baggies and diced it up to have quick and easy protein to throw in a meal with fresh veggies. I weighed out the 12 oz of chicken on my scale and it was surprisingly a good amount. They were talking at weight watchers last time about measuring out food because many people under estimate the amount. I would have thought the opposite.
We went out this morning to Abby's swim class and on the way home I decided to stop at a local diner for lunch. We literally walked in the door were about to sit down and CM threw up all over my shoes. And out we went...UGH! So here we go again. I pray it's not as bad for her as it was for Abby and that it's done by bedtime because I cannot handle another all nighter like Weds night. We came home and I threw some of my chicken vegetable soup in a bowl and happily ate it. In a little bit I will have my 2nd fruit (before 2 pm) and some green tea. Then done till dinner time.
My DH's birthday is this weekend and typically we go out, spend a lot on a really great meal, wine etc but since we're on plan, I don't think that's an option so I am trying to think of creative ways to celebrate that won't hurt the diet. Tomorrow we plan to take A to see the new Cars 2 movie that's out and I will have to bring celery, carrots etc. to keep myself from being tempted by that wonderful movie popcorn in which a medium contains just short of 600 calories and 33 grams of fat BEFORE the added butter that I used to so lovingly squirt on there. Ewww! They also pop with coconut oil which is 90% saturated fat. They would be better off switching to canola oil. It doesn't matter much to me because for the next 12 days I am still completely off carbs. And even if I wasn't it's hard to imagine having that while trying to lose weight. It's just self-destructive and sabotaging behavior. I'm done with that.
I had a good chat with my friend L last night that asked me to be in her wedding. I am excited to be going out to California next year and celebrating such a happy event with her. It will be fun and exciting. Not sure what I will do with the girls, but I guess I'll cross that bridge as I come to it. It would be really cool to combine that trip with one to Napa Valley or a different part of CA that I haven't seen yet. I'm getting excited just thinking about it so I will continue this journey one meal and one day at a time.
Love,
S
