Ok, so it's officially been 1 month. AND I feel like I'm going pretty strong, believe it or not. I'm not bored yet, I don't really miss eating like an idiot (for the most part) and I'm very happy with my progress. At this point I feel strong to go for at least another month.
At this point, I have lost the equivalent of my daughter + a quart of milk. For visual reference, that would be the combination of these 2 items below:
I'd say that's a pretty successful month!
Breakfast - So in honor of my 1 month anniversary, I decided to basically be bad this morning! And I sort of had this planned for awhile now in my head. I went to Dunkin. I got my old breakfast. Chocolate Frosted Donut, Plain Bagel with extra butter and a Red Bull. Here are my thoughts on this. A month ago, this was my breakfast every single work day. It was a habit. I don't even know that I really liked eating it every day, but it was the usual. After a full month off from it, I REALLY enjoyed it BUT I have no desire to have it again tomorrow. It was a reward for a job well done . . . . . so far. I told all the Dunkin workers that I'll see them again on August 18. :-)
Lunch - For lunch, I had the leftover pork, egg noodles and green beans from yesterday. Snuck that meal in real quick during a busy day.
Dinner - well, i didn't really get a chance to eat dinner. I overbooked myself, PLUS had issues with printers, copy machines and organization of drums at work which held me back a ton. Thankfully I had Louie there to help me with the drums! Anyway, I ended up eating at home around 10:30 at night. I normally don't like to do this BUT I am not going to go with no food from 1pm until the next day. I had 4 small turkey meatballs with some tomato sauce. I also had 8 ritz crackers with peanut butter. Quick and easy. It did the trick.
Snacking - I finished up the ice cream that was in the freezer. There was not much there at all. BUT as much as I enjoyed it, I'm glad that there is no ice cream in the house again. :-)
Thoughts for the day - today was not only my 1 month anniversary, but more importantly, my daughter's 1 month birthday! (Easy way to keep track, huh?) I was at work from 8:30am until about 9:30pm. Got a lot done. Marching band sectionals finally got started up. Had our first section leader meeting. 7th of 8 days complete in the summer jazz class I'm teaching. Taught 3 lessons. Organized and gave all drummers marching drums to take home for practice as well as drums to keep at school. I felt like I finally got this next season rolling today. BUT I wish I could have been home for the baby a little bit. Tomorrow I'll be home much earlier and then I'm back to only Wednesdays for the next few weeks. I can get back to doing more cooking! This week has been a little busy (For this summer, anyway.)
Thanks to everyone for the support so far on this journey. According to the web stats, between 150 and 450 people look at this every day! That makes it VERY motivating for me. BUT as you see with my breakfast today, I will not tell a lie! I'll be 100% honest, even if I know it's a failure. Luckily this time - there has not been much failure yet.
12.8 down. 37.2 to go!
