Hey What's up guys? I finished up strong yesterday with a Tuna sandwich for dinner and later, a little bit of crunchy peanut butter to quiet my loud hungry stomach. Day 4 was a complete success. I cannot tell you how great it was to eat normal again!
It is about 10:30pm and I am winding down my Day 5. I am going to try to post at night so that I don't confuse y'all or myself on which day is which. This morning I started off with a breakfast burrito before church, which again was amazing! I did not eat any donuts at church or drink any sugary drinks. I knew if I did not eat a breakfast burrito which actually has some sustenance, I would have ended up eating an empty donut or two.
By lunch time I was really hungry. My mother-in-law made some meatballs, hash brown casserole, beans and homemade rolls. It was very good. I ate a very small portion of each. (See picture below...sorry if it is blurry) She also made some peach cobbler and had blue bell homemade vanilla ice cream. I did have some but I had such a small portion....but I ate it very slowly and it was very delicious and I did not feel cheated. I would have normally had 4 scoops of ice cream and a huge spoon full of cobbler.....which usually makes me feel miserable because I am so full.
For dinner I basically had the same thing as I did for lunch except I had corn instead of beans.....and I skipped the peach cobbler. :-( When I got home my wife and I ran 3 miles.....actually what I have been running has not been quite 3 miles. I forgot the last time it was measured there was an extra block that we ran so I will have to measure it and post in a future blog how far I have actually been running.
Since it was after dark and the wind was blowing hard and I ditched my hoodie, it was so nice and cool.....I still sweated like a pig but it was a much nicer run.My wife is in way better shape than me so she did not even break a sweat.....in fact she was skipping and doing calisthenics like it was a breeze......I was like....really? I know once I get about 40 lbs off of me, what I have been running will be a breeze as well.....until then I will have to put up with the skipping when my wife runs with me. (I love you babe! ;-) I am not sure if I will eat anything else this late or not. If I do, it will probably be a little bit of peanut butter.
I don't know if any of you have dealt with this or not, but the problem I have had with food is that I could not get enough of it. I don't know what was going through my mind when I would pile on too much and scarf it down like there is no tomorrow. To be honest I don't even remember tasting the food as much as just focusing on getting to the next plate or putting more on. It seemed like I was never focused on what I was eating as much as thinking about the next thing I was gong to eat. Yesterday and today have been nice because I have actually been able to slow down and taste how good the food is. I hope as I "reprioritize" and reprogram my mind, I will learn to enjoy food one little bite at a time. This way you can savor and and actually enjoy it without the repercussions of being fat.
That is all I have for today. Check out my crazy video from first thing this morning below. See y'all guys tomorrow!
