The third day is here, and I am already slipping.
Here it is, almost 7 p.m., and I haven't walked yet. It's too humid, too too moist and sticky; I always feel like I'm going to pass out in this kind of weather. I have, however, done my leg/butt pilates, and I have NOT eaten down the house. Yet. Those days have got to be over. It's by eating the world that I ended up weighing 242.6 pounds.
Food:
7 a.m. Black Coffee
I awoke with horrible lower abdominal cramping/lower back cramping; probably an ovarian cyst misbehaving ... the pain was a definite 6/7 on the pain scale ... no way was I going to be able to eat within 20 minutes of waking ...
Noon: Microwaved egg/ toasted English muffin/processed American cheese slice
See how the "cheating" begins? It begins with a single slice of American processed cheese. Next thing you know, I'll be ordering the enchilada platter at Rancho Grande and having ice cream in that big fat cereal bowl.
1:30 p.m. Another freaking kolache, all in the name of sampling a local bakery's offering. Also, drank a Diet Pepsi (grrrrr; must get off that poison!)
2:15 p.m. Hungry. Microwaved Weight Watchers' macaroni and cheese (7 pts.)
5 p.m. Just applied online for a communication arts opening here in Liberty. I know that teaching is my calling; I also know that writing is my passion; I know that grading kids' papers takes away my writing time; must find discipline to do both! Think of all the "big-name" writers who took English positions to support their families until their writing was published often enough to provide ... . I've been VERY down in the disappointing dumps, so it came as a surprise that I felt happy/confident working on my cover letter/resume ~ I do know that I need to work. I am too sociable to stay at home with the dogs and cat. Unless they talked and could play SCRABBLE with me.
7:30 p.m. Homemade tuna salad ... delish!

It's not a sprint, it's a marathon on healthy eating and exercise. You will have off days and how you react the next day determines if you have success or not! Hang in there!
