Week 3 is in the books! It went pretty well!
We ate at home most of the week, so I didn't have much temptation. I did, however, have a little brown rice with one dinner and with the leftovers the next day for lunch. It was just a little bit and I'm not feeling guilty about it because it's a really good whole grain food.
I had a special treat at my mom and dad's house on Sunday. My mom made us appetizers and dinner after church. The appetizers were deviled eggs and homemade mini cornbread muffins with hard salami and cheddar. I had one and a half muffins and 2 whole eggs (so 4 deviled eggs). My mom also made pumpkin chocolate chip bars for dessert!! I am very proud of my will power- I had only one little 2 inch square!! Yay! My mom even sent some home with us and I put them straight in the freezer and the boys have been taking one out after dinner for their dessert and I haven't even felt tempted.
This may seem lame and super picky, but this is a huge battle for me and these little weekly wins are helping me feel like I'm one step closer to overcoming my tendencies to overeat all the junk food.
I feel so much happier- so much more positive about life. I feel like my mind is able to focus better- my thoughts are clearer. I am fitting into my clothes better and am definitely less bloated. I must've lived in a state of guilt and regret before, because now I feel more confident when I sit down to eat or when I go somewhere to eat. The couple slip ups/treats I've had have been enjoyable and didn't leave me feeling horrible. I'm starting to catch glimpses of how some people can truly live in balance with their food and don't have trouble overeating. I have 9 more weeks of this challenge and I feel like, at that point, I will be able to eat that way, too.
Stay tuned for my next post. I'll be done with week 4 and I'll post and update on my weight, measurements and body fat percentage.
If you have any questions or positive tips/comments for me, please leave them below. I'd love to know that you are on this journey with me.
