It's been almost a week since our first official weigh in, so I thought I'd enlighten ya'll as to how it's going. Right now, it's 3.39am and I'm at work. I just finished a Greek omelette with a side of fries and a dry roll.
Healthy decision of the day #1: No butter on the roll.
As you can probably tell from my 3am ''snack,'' it's not going as well as I hoped. I'm reminded of Friday night, while I was talking to Chris on his drive home (Chris is home for the weekend). I was flipping through my new cook book looking for some quick and easy, not to mention HEALTHY recipes that Chris and I could make over the weekend. Our usual ice cream, chips, pizza, candy, soda and beer diet just wasn't going to cut it. Well, of course, the cooking never happened. At least I have good intentions! Right? Or does it not count if you don't even try? What about exercising? If I play basketball for ten minutes in the driveway, does that count as trying? Even if it did...our trip to the bakery would have completely negated any such attempt at being healthy. Sure, I skipped the pizza (Chris didn't). Sure, I drank water instead of soda (Chris did too). Sure, Chris and I played LOSER*. But we also made the decision to go to Denville Dairy for ice cream for a snack ONE HOUR before dinner. And on our way to Denville Dairy for a snack, we conveniently passed a bakery -- a really awesome bakery. So awesome, in fact, their donuts were the size of frizbees. That is NOT a lie. You could have played 'Ring 'Em' if one held his/her fist in the air -- their fist! The centers were larger than a fist! Needless to say, we stopped at the bakery instead. We bought six large sprinkle cookies (they weren't THAT big...only the size of a small dessert plate).
Healthy choice of yesterday #1: not eating any pizza
Healthy choice of yesterday #2: only having one giant cookie instead of two
Really...as I'm writing this...and I'm thinking about the 'healthy choices' I've made over the last week...I'm realizing how difficult these next six months are really going to be. My 'healthy choices' aren't really healthy choices. They're simply the LESS unhealthy choices.
Regardless, I actually LOST weight this week. Although I haven't weighed myself in the last two days...I lost two pounds in two days in the beginning of the week. I was doing really well! I'm almost positive I'm back up to my starting weight, maybe even a bit higher, but that's alright.
So it continues, slowly but surely.

HAHA Kerry, you're hilarious! Glad to see your diet is going as well as mine. Though I'm jealous you still lost weight. I can't believe I GAINED weight the first week!
