Today
I went ahead and slept in with the plan of going to the gym after work
to do the “Paige workout.” I just had to run a couple errands before
work and then get
ready for work and go. To get my food ready to take to work included
cooking lobster for the first time ever! I had to look it up. It said
to snip the tail shell with scissors and open it up then baked it at
350° for 15 minutes. It came out perfect. It
was a 4oz tail, so I split it into 2 containers, one in the fridge and
one in my lunch bag. Breakfast was awesome. I had been looking forward
to today’s breakfast alllllll week, ever since I put together my food
schedule for this second week of the Shred
Diet and chose pancakes and bacon. I used the griddle plates on my
Panini press for the first time and wow, it cooked the pancakes
perfectly!!! Usually I overcook them when I cook them stovetop in a
skillet. Not on the griddle plates! I was a little annoyed
because I had to make like twice as much pancake batter as I needed
because that’s the recipe they had on the box. Also, it called for one
egg and I was using whole eggs. If I had the eggs in a carton, then I
could have cut it in half and only made what
I needed. So, maybe I’ll get to have pancakes again soon…I know I
won’t be next week because I already typed up next week’s outlines for
my daily meal/snack schedules and there was no pancakes and bacon on any
of the days. Boo! I mean, if I have to toss
it, it’s not like pancake mix is expensive. I just don’t like tossing
perfectly good food if I can avoid it.
Today’s
meal and snack spacing went somewhat like yesterday’s since I didn’t
eat my meal 1 until I was getting everything ready for work at around
12:30pm. So I ate
at 2:30, 4:30, 5:45, 7:15, 9, and then 10:30.
When
I woke up this morning, I determined that the reason I was feeling
“off” the last couple of days, on top of and probably due to the weather
as well, is that I woke
up with strep throat again. I went to go to the CVS Minute Clinic so I
could get some antibiotics, however the Minute Clinics aren’t at all
CVS locations. I didn’t know that. They told me where the nearest one
was and it was too far away for me to have
time to go there AND get ready for work. So, I figure if it doesn’t go
away on its own by tomorrow morning, I’ll go to the Minute Clinic on my
way out of town tomorrow.
Each
day I’m amazed at my lack of urges when it comes to food and
indulgences. I’m amazed that 10 M&M’s are enough for me. Even
before I had the disordered eating
problem, 10 M&M’s wasn’t enough to satisfy me. Same thing with ice
cream. The other day when I said I got some ice cream? I had about a ½
cup, which is a serving size, and that was good. I had no desire to go
back and get MORE ice cream. I sated my taste
for it and that was it. And believe me when I say I’m not complaining
about this one bit. Not at all. This is the first time in my life I
have been “normal” when it comes to cravings and eating something that
is an indulgence and not bingeing on it.
My
friend Vanessa brought me a few orange cream candied almonds. They
were pretty yummy! And those will be my indulgence for today.
Yesterday, I had those 10 M&M’s
I was talking about.
Tomorrow
is my weigh in day for this weekend. Woohoo! I’ve had a great week
and am excited to see what the scale has to say about it. I know I’ve
lost weight. I
can literally SEE the difference in my midsection since I weighed in
last. My stomach is a little flatter, my hips are less lumpy. I’m
hoping for another 2-ish pound loss, but I’ll be happy with it even if
it’s just 1 pound. Any loss is me going in the
right direction.
