Day 5 is here.
I was totally tempted last night to eat. I went to Buffalo Wild Wings with my friend so we could watch the Reds game (his choice). We were sitting at the bar and I know he wanted to eat but he's a real good friend and just drank a beer while I had water. It was a good test to be around all kinds of good smelling unhealthy food and not order anything. My mom bought salami and cream cheese to make salami rolls yesterday and that was in the fridge when I got home....it's an old time favourite...so i just took a few pieces of lean deli ham and some fat free cream cheese....just as good and it didn't mess up my calorie intake at all.
Monday I go back to the gym...i have to pay my dues late due to last weeks bills...so I can't go back until I pay them...blah...I got the gym membership in January when I had all that new years resolution hype...I've probably been less than 20 times....but starting Monday i'm gonna try to go everyday...last time i went I was doing squats and hurt my knee and it got me really discouraged....but I'm just going to start out doing exercises that won't put me in danger of hurting myself until i get a bit lighter. I know I can do this and i know I'm not going to be REALLY happy until I do. I'm 350 right now....the last time I started a serious diet my highest weight was 320...now I can't weight to get back to that....I really want to be under 300 lbs I've been there for the last 6 or 7 years now...When I got under 300 lbs with the first diet I vowed to never go over again...but here I am...with 30 extra lbs to claim...But I can do this...i don't want to ever make it to 400 lbs...which is extremely dangerous territory...I can do this...i know I can...
Hi! The first week on a new plan is the hardest! Awesome job last night not ordering anything while watching the game, it sounds like you know what you need to do here. Welcome back and not to sound cliche but YOU CAN DO THIS!!! |
Congrats for tempting temptation! If you can do that, trust me girl, you have it in you to achieve your goals. That's where the most of us slip off the wagon. Any kind of fried fatty food doesn't taste as good as combating temptation does :) It will all pay off in the end. Hang in there. I believe in you. |
yep! you can do this AND you will. :D we're with ya! we're ALL with ya! i sure am proud of last night. you did great! i love how you don't mind being around all them smells of that unhealthy food. hey, there's always gonna be food around, so you need to get used to it. alot of people can't handle that. LOL they'd just assume stay home & that's sad. i'm sure you'll do great! you have a great attitude & don't lose it! maybe you'll lose a few pounds & then a few more... AND be like me & say to yourself, 'hey, why stop here?' hehe i can totally see you thin! have a great time at the gym AND yeah, be careful! you don't want to get hurt! |
Why can athletes eat so much?
Athletes need adequate calories to offset those they burn in training and competition. They eat to either maintain their body mass or gain muscle... Read more
