...Officially stinks. I was doing so well and am still doing well. At this point, I've lost a total of 3.8 lbs. Most people would flip out to have lost 2 lbs. in a week but I'm starting to wonder about my dieting abilities at 3.8 pounds gone in one week.
Well, Medifast was not the diet for me, so I've altered it to the Low-Carb Slim Fast diet (a WHOLE lot cheaper) and "Lean and Green" suppers. I'm tracking everything and keeping it under 1400 calories a day with my LoseIt! app on my iPhone. However, with my little one having strep throat the past two days, I can assure you...I had to do things that I would never do in order to keep my mind occupied and off food. I moved my living room around (couch included) and also the spare bedroom. I've laundered things that don't need laundering. You'd think my house is spotless but remember...I do have children and a husband. The weenie dogs got lucky. I planned on bathing them today if I had to take another day off to stay with Ivy. I think I was going insane.
I honestly have no sympathy towards smokers trying to quit anymore. Yeah, you heard me. Think about it this way...you don't have to smoke to live but you do have to eat to live. I promise you this is probably the hardest habit to break because (to put it simply) YOU HAVE TO EAT. You can't just throw down a plate and say "Ok, I'm done! No more eating for me!" You can't because you will die. DIE!!! YOU HEAR ME?!??!?!
Ok, I'll calm myself now. Having small children wake you up at 4:45am does tend to take a toll on the mindset at 3:34pm in the afternoon. I'm still not planning on giving up but I need to realize that there will be good days and bad ones (just like any other part of life).
Now comes the hard part of dieting. Trying to figure out when and where to exercise when you have young children. Especially an almost 4 year old that refuses to go to bed by herself and you have to sit until she falls asleep at night. Their father has put forth an effort to get them into bed at night, so hopefully, I can take the time for myself to get on the Wii fit or go for a short walk.
Anyone else but me hate the thought of exercising? I think I'd rather pluck out my nosehairs one by one than to break a sweat. Well, no time to focus on the negative. I'm on a mission.
Have a great weekend, all!
