New diet means new results?
Terry gave me a new diet to follow yesterday. Very simple, mainly consisting of chicken and veggies, egg whites and protein powder and brown rice. But the good thing is that I get 7 meals a day. That way, I am hoping I won’t get too hungry between meals anymore.
It feels like it has been so long since I have had a "real people" meal. You know, like a burger or even chicken and mashed potatos and rolls. How I miss my carbs. Plus, it has been an entire winter without hot chocolate. Who does that? I miss it a lot. Terry told me I could have some when I hit 128 this week. But it took me almost 3 weeks to go from 130 to 129 so I wonder if I will actually make the 128 mark this week. Now don’t get me wrong, the new diet may be just what I need to jump start me, so you never know, but I am pretty smart and smart enough not to think that this weight is just going to fall off easily. Oh well. Guess I just gotta keep going.
Know what though? I’d rather do it through diet than crazy spastic 3 a day workouts. I am doing 2 a day right now, which hasn’t been too bad, but I am hoping that I can keep it up without adding the third. I do have a friend who owns a gym and he allows me to use the gym on my lunch hour, but I am trying to not have to do it. I get so tired. It’s getting to the point that I have trouble just getting through a workout. Not that I am complaining, because I’m not. I’m strong and I can do this, but I do get tired…
The workouts become mental now. I actually talk myself through sets. Only 8 more, even if I know that there may be more sets to come, but it’s mental at this point. Truly mental. I think the first thing I am going to do (after the cruise of course) is go buy a nice loaf of cheese bread or something - oh and a dozen bagels. Yum!
