Updates for Thursday, April 26, 2012

Last night, I mentioned that we were going to Olive Garden for Dinner for a friend's birthday. I scouted the menu beforehand and consulted with my WW book to see what meals did the most damage. And FYI, did you know that their Chicken and Shrimp Carbonara has 88 GRAMS OF FAT!?!? 88! Holy bananas. Anyways, I decided to get the Venetian Apricot Chicken (400 cals, low in fat, 9 WW points). It was delicious! Came with some asparagus and broccoli as well, and I got a salad with no dressing and avoided the breadsticks completely. Everything was fine and good until about 10 minutes before we left. My stomach was KILLING me. I was down for the rest of the night feeling awful. 

I really cannot believe the difference between eating clean versus not eating clean. I've learned that I really can't tolerate much food at restaurants anymore etc. It's a good thing because it makes me not want to eat anything but food I have cooked and prepared and know what is in it!

My body literally rejects crap food or food that has a lot of sugar etc. Stephen had a BBQ for work last Friday and I had been doing SO well with my workouts and diet that I wanted to splurge on a hamburger. I also had half of a hot dog. I DEARLY paid for it later that night. My body completely rejected the food and I was sick the whole night and some of the next day. 

Anyways! Today, I woke up and weighed myself and I lost another pound! Woo hoo!! Later today, I have to do Fire 55 EZ and 10 burpees per Coach Kelley's workout plan! :) Yesterday's workouts were brutal and I am so sore today but in a good way! 

Later, I have a BBQ for the NSSLHA Club. I'm making pasta salad because they needed side dishes but I'm just going to drop it off and stay for a few minutes then head home. I do not want to be tempted by bad foods right now. I'm really working on my willpower but sometimes it's hard for me.   Stephen won't be able to go with me because he's doing some training for the Sheriff's Dept. today so I wouldn't have him there to help me stay accountable. Just easier this way :)

I'll update later with my food for the day!
