I have 179 days to lose 31 more pounds by August 20th. I am starting to believe this is a possibility! As for being able to run a 5K . . . not so sure ;-) I CAN DO IT!!!! When my run/jog/walk is over, I do feel a thrill of doing what I NEVER thought I could do!!
Today is Sunday, and I am headed to the hospital to visit my family member, who was very angry with me yesterday for "putting her in here!" I understand this is normal, but it still hurts a bit and really makes me wanna grab a dozen Krispy Kreme donuts on the way home.
By the way, the hardest part of my new life is not eating a daily dozen (of donuts). My whole wheat toast with nutella is a good compromise . . .
I do allow myself one cheat day per week, usually on Saturday so if we decide to eat out, I have freedom. I will, one day, have a donut on my cheat day . . . I will blog all about it!
Yesterday was my cheat day, and I exceeded my calories by about 500 . . . we didn't eat out, but I made salmon cakes, sugar snap peas, and mashed potatoes and I had two plates rather than one. However, I believe that in order to keep your metabolism revved, your body needs a wave of calories once a week. So, I ate and enjoyed . . . but I also cleaned house for 2 hours afterwards which burned most of the excess calories . . . and when I weighed in this morning, my weight was still 211.6!!
Today's Menu:
B: Oatmeal with raw strawberries and banana
L: Left over salmon cakes with raw veggies
D: egg beaters and veggies with a raw mango
I will leave you guys with a funny quote I saw yesterday regarding raw diets:
"My idea of a raw diet is eating untoasted poptarts"!
God Bless!
