Week Six: Setback and I knew it
First things first - today is 215.
I knew it was going to be a setback. This weekend was awful. First, saturday was hectic, way hectic. Not only did I have bacon/eggs/sausage for breakfast at Prairie Meadows, I went to rehearsal and then went to Long John Silvers. That evening, I came home and at a Tombstone pizza. All of it. Not good. Sunday I said would be better, but instead I ate a whole thing of nachos - in other words, a whole jar of jalepeno cheese whiz and chips.
Ugh.
So why am I falling behind after seeing the 213 briefly? Partially because I know I wont hit the goal of 190 by September 1st. That would be almost 3 lbs a week and would kill me. Second, my weekends are full so I never have food in the house. Third, lettuce spoils so easilly its hard to keep salad on hand. Fourth, I am really starting to feel the results, and see it - so I think I can be “bad” more often than I should.
And theres the rub. This weekend I honestly looked at myself and said “alright” - now Im not skinny, obviously, but I haven’t had this good of a self image in a while, I can feel and see the difference from 6 weeks ago. Someone at work even commented, although I felt like a dick when I asked if he was just patronizing me. I should have just accepted the compliment.
Instead of getting easier with the play being over, it has been harder. But I am really going to try to hit that 213 again next week. Come salad, come Subway, come grapefruit juice, come water.

You can do it! Do you buy the bagged salad? That lasts a lot longer, even though it is more expensive. I usually can get two/three large salads out of a bag. I just buy two bags when I do the shopping, with the latest expiration date I can find. It works out pretty well. Which reminds me, I need to get salad…
