Vinegar and Steak...yes, you read that right. Sirloin with Balsamic Vinegar on it. What has my life come to?!?!?! I am doing great with the fruits, awesome with the proteins, the veggies well (thank God they count tomatoes as veggies), but this whole NO CONDIMENT thing is pure torture! So tonights dinner consisted of sirloin steak with garlic powder, tomatoes and balsamic vinegar as a condiment. Take it from me - not good, but better than nothing! I looked up no-salt marinades online and apparently Mrs. Dash makes some. My trainer said all in moderation - this girl is gonna need some marinade or dipping sauce or something!!!
So today at the gym was day 3... it was a little tricky. My muscles are, well, sore. I had to break between my reps on the circuit, but I did 15 reps at each machine, except #7 because it was always occupied. The weird custodian guy with the coffee stalking me didnt help, neither did the other guy who was on the machine directly across from me staring a hole through my...we'll give him the benefit of the doubt and say forehead (although I think he was looking a little lower). But at any rate, I did it. Again! I feel less flabby, although I am sure it is all in my head.
As I had suspected the dieting part of this will be the hardest. I dont like very many foods, but I will keep trying. The other issue is that fruits and veggies don't last very long, and I need to go to the grocery store again - ick! But I am 1/5 of the way through phase 1 :)
Current Status - uber rolly poly -.5 lbs and sore (and not feeling very funny)
I had a very nice long comment all written out then deleted it all in two fingerstrokes...better luck tomorrow. UGH! I'm going to bed chica! Love you and thank you for sharing! Remember, food prep, food prep, food prep and plan your meals for the next day. It's easier to open the fridge and say, ok, I like that, I want to eat that, and it's okay if I eat that! Simplify your grocery list and keep it to things that you will actually realistically eat, then expand your horizons once you get your foundation/new habits set. Get your protein and you will not have that crazy gnawing hunger, get enough sleep, and your cravings shouldn't be as bad. You can do anything you put your mind to!!
