Joh: I'm 207.7 lbs, down 1.1 lbs from last week, and 9 full days cold turkey without smoking. I no longer feel like I am going to smoke at any time. I am officially strong enough to leave the house. At some point on Saturday, I threw my back out doing dishes (dangerous activity, I know), and spent 3 days on the couch vegging out. I told Rebekah that I didn't eat too junky, but that I just ate a larger quantity of nutritious food. This was a lie that she will discover as she proofreads this entry. I ate McDonald's once, Steve (the boyfriend) and I had food from a BBQ smokehouse one night, and the rest WAS a larger quantity of healthy food. I lied because I know she has that sheet cake in the freezer and I didn't want her to chow down. I am justifying my actions by the fact that I didn't smoke, didn't bite my nails, was man-down with a hurt back for 3 days, and STILL lost a pound. I am sorry, Rebekah. I hope you understand, and I promise that I will never lie about it again. I really was putting in my best effort. You can have a slightly "off week" this week (if you need to), while I go to town on track! But please don't eat the entire sheet cake.
Rebekah: MCDONALD'S?!?!?!!!! What the.... Anyways, I'm at 134.4 lbs, which is 2 lbs down from last week and 5.4 lbs total. And here's why: I've discovered that I love yogurt. I am now managing my two allotted dairies each day to exclude cheese so that I can have two yogurts. Additionally, I didn't go on a week-long holiday bender like I did last week. And finally, I DIDN'T EAT FRICKIN' MCDONALD'S. This week was similar to Week 1. I had major backslide in Week 3, so my body was pretty much readjusting. Lots of weird stomach noises and such this week. Oh, and the realization that when I stick to the plan, I am a featherweight in the bars. We're talking a really cheap date. I've gotten a little bored with the processed protein products (Tofurkey, Smart Dogs, Boca, and such...), and I really try to avoid processed food if and when possible, so I've been spinning my wheels on how to spice things up. I've been making hummus wraps on whole wheat tortillas and loading them up with fresh vegetables, and that's been quite nice. The hummus counts as a protein and a fat, but since I'm a yogurt fiend now (I seriously never thought I'd see this day), I can easily accommodate the fat in the hummus. I also have a book (The Best Veggie Burgers on the Planet) that some friends gave to me, so I'm planning on learning how to make my own bean burgers. I'm pretty excited about that. Although I did a pretty good job watching my DCs and sticking to the plan, I did slip at a birthday party. There were cookies everywhere. I went a little wild. But I totally 'fessed up to Joh, rather than sneaking around with French fries and sides of macaroni and cheese from Big Bad Wolf ferreted away in my pockets. But I have to give Joh kudos for 9 days cigarette free. However, Joh, you need to realize that I mean "kudos" as in praise, not the granola bars coated in chocolate.
