Cranky Thursday

This is one of the days of food this week.
Protein, fruits, veggies and two yogurts.
Oh, and some fat free feta.

Bah.

It's day 4 of the new eating plan, and I'm down 6 pounds. It's not super-exciting because this is the usual flux for me. Once we get into the 10s, I'll be pretty pumped.

This eating plan...well it sucks. It sucks in the sense that I'm used to being able to have chocolate and bread - two things that are a no-no. So instead of having crackers, I eat cucumber slices. Instead of chocolate covered pomegranate...an apple. Or raspberries. Or peaches.

It's actually not so bad resetting my body's cravings. The first day I was like an infant having a tantrum. I just wanted a carb. A single carb. I even texted Scott and told him to order a pizza. But he made me stay strong.

So strong, in fact, that he made his own pizza for dinner this week and I made a salad and didn't even touch his pizza. Mmmmm, chicken salad with a steaming hot side of commitment. Eat it up!

Because I don't just want to drop a ton of water weight, I think I'm going to allow myself some leeway on the weekends. In Cycle 4, you're allowed like three or four cheat meals over the weekends. I think I'm going to allow myself one or two half cheat meals in Cycle 1.

I'm terrified of losing weight, having my dress fitted, and then somehow gaining it back and not being able to fit into the wedding dress.

This is a real fear. Just go with it.
