I gotta make this entry quick.. before my supervisor comes back from whatever she's doing. I think she's catching on to the fact that... I don't really do work at work... but meh! LOL There's nothing to do anyway....!
Yesterday (Day 8) marks the official 1 week of the my 'lifestyle change.' I say lifestyle change because this is not a fad diet and I truly want to change my eating habits etc.... I weighed myself... Yep! I stepped onto that scale and was afraid that my weekend of bad eating would catch up to me... but it didn't! I'm right on track! I lost a pound! phew! all that hard work, all those biking nights and the heat of standing hot yoga paid off!
This week, I'm planning to go full force! Monday night, I went over to the supermarket and bought a whole bunch of muchies! Munchies such as celery, carrots, broccolli, cucumbers to snack on. Remember when I mentioned in my earlier posts that I gotta stop heading straight to the kitchen after work? Yeah, I was hoping that snacking on these veggies that it would curve my hunger... and it did! I'm so glad!
Other than the weekend, I find that there are a lot of food temptations... but I know I can overcome them. For example, we do luncheons at work now and then... today we have an ex worker come in to have lunch.. and we're having veal parmigiano sandwiches from an Italian restaurant nearby. I don't even want to know how much calories that is... but my plan is quite simple: eat it piece by piece throughout the day. Eat half for breakfast (since I started late today) and eat the other half for lunch.... oh yes, and eat it without the bread lol That's the key!

Hot yoga tonight with ladies! Can't wait! Gotta stretch out my body after the kettlebell workout (my body is still sore) and after riding uphill yesterday...!
