Day 3

Well, the first weekend of the adventure is upon me. I've now disclosed this "project" to two people B1 and B2. I hoping they hold me accountable. B1 has called it a "thing," he'll catch on soon and realize it's real. He's also going to be the best one to keep me accountable, his own self discipline is insane, and he'll push me and expect the same of me which is great.

M emailed this morning asking if I wanted to split some training sessions with her. I told her yes which will also be good. I like Soul because 1. its expensive so if you're registered and don't go, you're literally throwing money away and 2. because I actually like it. The same thing will be the case with the training, it will be fun to do with M and having someone else count on me will definitely keep me focused.

We'll see how the weekend goes. I'm worried about the drinking and the pool party we have tomorrow but I mean, its not like I'm going to give up booze and fun, I'll just have to learn to make good choices a habit and lifestyle rather than feeling restricted. I did ok with that the other day at the bowling party so that's good. B1 and I aren't going out tonight so that helps keep things in check too.

Second weigh in and I'm below 170 for the first time in I have no idea how long. I hope and know I won't ever get above 170 again along this journey. The only place to go from here is DOWN.

1/2 A Peach

We just ordered Chinese for dinner which will be interesting. I ordered the steamed vegetables with brown rice and a side of Kung Pow sauce - I'll probs just douse everything in Sirracha. We also got an order of fried rice which is a weakness of mine. Stay strong! I keep telling myself....I also want a glass of red wine which I think I will have since it's been a long week and again, I want to be realistic here!

I did some arm moves with some lunges and squats while watching Below Deck (not ashamed). I did the moves during commercials, was actually breathing heavy, we'll see if I'm sore at all tomorrow. 

Day 2

Ok so now i'm actually going to be posting about today. Feeling pretty good but there were some spikes of being really hungry - waiting too long between meals and not having a good snack to keep the blood sugar going. Ugh, does this mean I have to eat raw unsalted almonds? Gross.

McD Egg White Delight McMuffin
McD Medium Black Iced Coffee - Added a Splash H&H and 1 Stevia

Mixed Greens Salad: Shredded Carrots, Shredded Pickled Beets, Cucumber, Tomato, Balsamic Vinaigrette
Scoop Chicken Salad (I know this isn't the best form of protein, being mayo based and all - this one will be hard to break, so filling and satisfying)

Medium Banana

2 Spicy Black Bean Boca Burgers (was starving!)
Ketchup and Sirachha Blend
Asparagus Roasted with 1Tsp EVOO S&P
Green Peans with S&P

3L Water

Heather P's 7am Soul class. Feeling super sore after that class and was a little sluggish - probably need to eat something before going in there plus I had only a little but nutrition devoid food for dinner.

Weighing in tomorrow morning. We'll see how it goes. I cant decided if weighing before the weekend and twice a week will be a good thing to keep myself in check or if I'll just obsess over it.

Day 1 (a day late)

Uhhh oh! Not off to a good start considering my day one post is a day late! Eek. I'm just going to blame my work bowling party and the Hollywood traffic which caused me not to get home until 10:30 and be too over looking at a computer screen to do it any more.

Will post start photos tomorrow, which again, I meant to do yesterday but I think tomorrow will be just fine. Will post progress photos every month here on out on the 20th!

Venti Iced Coffee, Splash Soy, 1 Spenda
Starbucks Spinach Feta Wrap
Butter Lettuce Salad: Feta, Grilled Chicken, Dried Cranberries, 1/4 Avocado, Champagne Vinagrette
Iced Coffee, Splash Soy, 1 Stevia
2L Water

UGH, the bowling party:
2 Glasses Cabernet (they really were small though)
2 Squares Margarita Flatbread
2 Tortilla Chips with Scoop Guac
1 Grilled Veggie Taco

Does bowling count as physical activity?

Pre-Day 1 or The Last Day Before the Journey

Well. Here I am. The night before day 1. The pre-day 1 if you will. Should be an interesting journey. I will certainly feel like I am doing it alone at first but perhaps, in time, I might gain a follower or two and look back on this first post in embarrassment, but, whateves.

So, I guess I'll just be using this as a platform to keep myself accountable. Here we go!
