I Did It!

            I did it! I went to see the guys play and had decaf and water! Wasn’t really tempted at all.  I brought a protein shake, and had that later when I stopped to say hello to a friend at work.  I stopped at Wal-Mart, too.  But I did it!!! I was hungry a bit, but it was not horrible, and I know that in no time at all, I will be able to enjoy a salad or chicken with everyone.  I lost another three pounds, so I think that has given me a spark of motivation to stay focused on this leg of the journey. 

            I exercised today, too.  I took Cira for a walk and did 50 crunches.  Also, I used my floor pedal thing.  I don’t know what it is called, but is a set of bike pedals that I can use while seated.  So, while I was working today, I pedaled.  I want to start using the Wii again soon.  I like the games on it, and the fitness games are fun.  I need to start doing some arm work, though, so I think that I am going to bring my small two or three pound hand weights upstairs and use them while at my desk.  Multi-tasking at its best!  I used to wear ankle weights when I waitressed and ran; I might get a pair to wear at school.  Every little bit helps, right?

            When I was at Wal-Mart, I had to buy more protein shakes, and it hit me:  I only need enough for three more days!! Then it is clear liquids only for a week.  Boy, the time is really going fast!  I bought some chicken broth and tried some when I got home.  I sipped about half of it, but it started to make me a bit queasy.  I am not a soup person to begin with, so I do not know how much broth I will be able to handle in the next week.  It just has a weird consistency to me.  I will probably eat boxes and boxes of Jello and popsicles, lol.  Overall, things are good and I am good.  Every once in awhile I think about grabbing a piece of cheese or having some egg whites, but I remind myself “not yet” and move on.  Keep on keepin’ on, as the saying goes.

            Until tomorrow. . .
