Hey There!
I did not do a mid week entry, but I am here now!
I weighed in today and I lost another 3 LBS!! That brings my
grand total of LBS lost to an exciting 23 LBS so far. Not too shabby for the
first 50 days into this here journey!
I am pumped for these 3 LBS! I was out of town for 4 days
this week visiting a friend, and consequently had 6 meals in restaurants. I was
not certain that I would lose anything this week because I was not sure I was
going to have as much control over what I ate for 4 of the last 7 days. Well, I
did it and here's how!
I started off by just thinking over what I ordered and not
ordering the most unhealthy thing off any of the menus. (That being said, I
certainly did not order the most healthy thing either. I ended up getting
something in the middle)
Next, I got it out of my mind that even though things
generally tasted really good, I did not have to finish everything that was
served to me. This does not come naturally to me. My plate is typically the one
at the table that is “clean as a whistle” when I am done. I am working to take
smaller portions at home, and not eating everything on my plate at restaurants.
It is making a big difference!
I also stuck to my soda rationing and only had soda twice!
That is a big deal alone for me since I am used to having soda every time and
am in a restaurant. (For that matter, before day 1 of 103in365, I would usually
have soda everyday and sometimes, 2 to 4 times a day whether I was in a restaurant
or not.)
It all boiled down to planning for success, staying true to
my mission, and not taking 4 days off just because it seemed easier and thinking
“I am not at home so I might as well just reconvene this thing as soon as I get
back and just enjoy myself.” I still really enjoyed the restaurants I went to,
but focused on the event of the meal and not just the food.
That is all for today! Have a great week!
