Day 2

Its day 2 and I’m not going to weigh myself because I don’t want to see the results after my dinner from last night (stupid Bryan).

My cell phone alarm went off at 5am and sure enough I hit snooze the first time, and then the second and third.  I guess I’m not cut out for waking up earlier then I need to.  Sleep = awesomeness!  We will try it again tomorrow. 

I arrived to work around 9:15am and had not eaten or drank anything up to the moment.  I know this is not good as breakfast is the most important time of the day to eat something.  However I didn’t have much time this morning as I was running a bit behind schedule, or maybe I was just being lazy and taking my sweet time getting ready because I didn’t want to go to work.  I had finished all my protein powder yesterday so that was not an option and as much as I love me some frosted flakes, I decided to pass on those as well.  Needless to say I was starving by the time I got to work.  However missing breakfast probably wasn’t a bad thing considering what I ate last night for dinner (stupid Bryan), so I knew a few tall glasses of water would hold me over till lunch time.  I did however fight off the temptation of stopping to get coffee again (High Five!).

It was a busy morning of work so I didn’t think about food at all till about 1pm.  I like it when that happens.  I also didn’t bring my lunch as again I didn’t have the time to prepare it this morning (lazy me).  I knew it was about 110 out and didn’t really want to step foot outside of my building, but knew I needed to eat something so I had to suck it up.  I decided to go to Wendy’s and get a grilled chicken wrap and only eat the chicken and lettuce.  They actually grill the chicken fresh when you order it, so it wasn’t too bad and was a good source of protein.  My lunch did get postponed till about 2pm because when I went to leave I noticed that I was the only person in my department.  I thought it might not be a good idea to leave when the owner and CEO of the entire company was walking around.

I do think that the Zingers winked at me from within the vending machine when I went to fill up my water.

Dawn cooked dinner tonight and we are around 6:30pm.  Orange Chicken and Broccoli over white rice was on the menu.  I was very hungry and couldn’t help but sneak a few “samples” as Dawn was putting on the final touches.  I normally choose the large dinner plate, but went with the small one.  After I cleaned the plate I was still hungry and did go back for a few more pieces of chicken and broccoli.  I feel that dinner was a success and I didn’t go over the top.  I could have easily gone back a few times and polished off the rice and chicken, but I stayed strong.  Everything was washed down with water only!

After dinner we decided it would be a good night for a Red Box movie.  Dawn headed up to Walgreen's and returned with “The Dilemma” (Vince Vaughn & Kevin James), a box of Snicker Ice Cream bars and one Skinny Cow ice cream sandwich for me.  She is so awesome to think of getting me something that might fit into my diet.  She is the best!  However I passed on it tonight because I knew I had that extra helping of chicken at dinner.

We finished the movie around 10:30pm and I didn’t snack at all during it.  However because of our family “in house” date night I was unable to get any exercise in yet again.  This is not good and I know I must do something about it.  There is no way I’m going to hit my goals by just adjusting my diet.  Yes I will lose weight, however adding regular exercise will make it drop even faster.  Come on Bryan!

Its 11pm and as I’m finishing this post I noticed that the food network is on in the background and it’s the show Unwrapped.  They are showing how they make Fritos Honey BBQ Twists chips.  Seriously, I want some.  I quickly turned it to Quick Pitch on MLB network for some baseball highlights.
