Well, I stumbled right out of the gate on a bolder called “tortilla chips”. I have moved tortilla chips from my “restricted/conditional” list to my “never” list. I have also decided to eliminate snacks. Snack times are too great a temptation for me to over-consume and derail my efforts. What looks like a harmless Graham cracker and peanut butter sandwich can morph into two or three little bundles of yum.
I forgot to weigh this morning, so we are still looking at +28.8 lbs. My kettle bell weighs 26.5 pounds. When I use this in my workouts, I am just amazing at how heavy it is. I am carrying more than that, in excess fat, every day. No wonder my body is tired. My body also has to do all the extra work of digesting and processing all the excess food I consume. I think of it as an overflowing in-box at work. Image everyday being expected to do 1/3 or so more than necessary, just because your boss cannot see a better way to work smart. My body must be so feed up (literally) with me and my over-consumption. When McDonald’s says, “you deserve a break today.” my body says “YES, I do!” “Would you please stop expecting me to process all that garbage you put in your mouth? Really, lady, give me a break, and eat more vegetables!”
So, I begin again today, with two buttons in my jar, ready to have some oatmeal, fruit, non-fat Greek yogurt, with a SMALL little group of healthy nuts, for breakfast. I could write a whole story about a small little group of healthy nuts…another day.
