Day 21

ok... so I am down 20-some-odd pounds. This week has been rough. I was real over it and I haven't lost much this week. I have been slacking on my diet and on my workouts. There have been a lot of social meals this week and it's been difficult for me to stay on track. Today was Easter and I totally broke all rules. I have basically ignored all meal plan and workouts for the last three or four days. So today I had lunch at the Alger's. It was great. None of the food (except the cake) was terribly bad for me... but I made a stop at McDonald's after seeing Tim and Leah. Bad. Idea. I got two sausage burritos and a sausage McMuffin. I got home and watched some tv and then took a nap. As my Sunday naps generally go, I woke up at 11:30... but today with a stomach ache. I have been on the toilet for 30 minutes and have puked my brains out. Like I said. Bad idea. I figured since I had already been cheating, I might as well indulge. I guess my body wasn't used to such crap entering my body. It's hard to imagine I have fueled myself on such "delicacies " for so many years and now my body rejects it. It definitely puts some things into perspective. Now, I get to try and get some sleep, even though I will most likely be making frequent trips to the bathroom all night. Was it worth it? No. Not at all. 

Day 1

My DVDs came in today. I was really anxious. I was thinking of several excuses I could give myself. I didn't give in. The workout wasn't as bad as I thought it could be. Granted, I modified a good bit of it. I don't quite have all of the equipment I need. I need a larger range of dumbbellsand a weight bench. I still did it anyways. I modified my push-ups. I used random objects as weights (a few bags of rice and beans from the pantry). But, I did it. I definitely feel it. I'm excited to get correct weights so I can rock it.

About to poach some salmon to eat with my vegetables. The meal plan hasn't been too bad. My banana pancakes suck. But it's just one meal of the day. My turkey chili has been good at lunch and my snacks throughout the day keep me going. I've been pooping like crazy today. I think my body is reacting to the healthy foods and rejecting all of the leftover crap (literally and figuratively). However, I've stuck with it (even if it's only for two days). This is the longest I've ever stuck to a diet in my life. Even with testing today, there was endless pizza and desserts. I resisted. It was a small victory for me.
