Day 2



I wonder what it is about being on a diet that makes you crave things you haven’t eaten in while.  Yesterday I thought about cake, a lot. Mind you I am not a cake eater per se, but there I was thinking about cake. Oh the brain of a compulsive food addict is something to behold. 

My day yesterday was pretty good. I stayed on the plan, ate what I was supposed to etc…until last night at around 9 pm I had a spoonful of peanut butter. FUCK!  It’s the weirdest thing. I don’t have any “bad” foods at home. I got rid of everything. But last night, I found myself wandering around the kitchen, opening the freezer, fridge and cabinets just looking for something to nosh on.  I don’t think I was hungry I was…I don’t know…something. But I had the peanut butter. I’m annoyed at myself but I’m back at it today. I’ve had my cheerios, blueberries and milk. My lunch—salad with 3oz of tuna is ready for me. Dinner will be salmon, left over quinoa (I swear that stuff explodes) from last night, and either fresh spinach or zucchini.  I’ll have to become better at prepping stuff when school starts again next week.   

The third week of September, I’m going away for work.  I’m really nervous about that as far as food goes. I don’t think I’ll have as much control over what I eat that week, which sucks. I wouldn’t have been on the plan long enough to make my way through the battlefield of conference food. Which if you’ve ever been to conferences like this, it usually consists of a continental breakfast (carbs and sugar on carbs), lunch (processed deli meats and cheese, chips and cookie/brownie) dinner is on my own so I can make that work no problem. No cause to get worked up over it right now. I’ll face it head on when the moment comes.
I feel good about being in this challenge and on this plan. I have high hopes and higher expectations of myself. There is no reason why I can’t do this and be successful at it.

    I'm doing Allan's challenge too. I know the conference may be a challenge all by itself but you can do it!

    Thanks Todd for stopping by. You might be right on with that. I'm taking it to work on Tuesday. They'll eat anything there.

    Depending on how long the conference is, maybe you can take your breakfast along with you (fruit or whatever else is on your plan) and have that in your hotel room and skip the breakfast. Again, not sure how easy that'll be in terms of the food that's on your plan, but just a suggestion :)

    Hi Plum, thanks for stopping by. I've actually decided to write to ppl who are doing the conference and say that I am a restricted diet for health reasons to please share the menu for with me. I will ask for an accommodation. Taking breakfast is a great idea. I just got an email from Allan which says that there is a new set of menus coming out. I'll see what works.

Guess who's back, back again? April's back, tell a friend.

Guess who's back, back again. Shady's back, tell a friend. Guess who's back, guess who's back, Guess who's back. Guess who's back? -Emenim   I know. MIA for 5 months. Where have I been? I’ve been here and there. Lurking. Watching.   Not a whole lot to say. When you don’t have anything worth listening to, in my opinion, you should say nothing.   Clearly not everyone feels that way, based on what I’ve been reading.  Weight Loss:    Laughable really.   A part of the reason why I have opted to say nothing is because I’ve been reading other blogs.   I have felt… dumbfounded   that people who have been struggling with weight loss for years and are disappointed in themselves, don’t   seem to want to DO anything about it.   What is worse, I think, are the followers who are co-signing this behavior.   While I am all for forgiving ones self, there is way too much talk of “forgiveness”.     Listen, I know all about failed weight loss attempts.   I have

Day 7 and April's a Fool

Day 7 One of the many things that I am going to work on this year is duh, my weight.  While it was tempting, I opted out of Al ’s plan.  Not sure why exactly, I just did.  I enjoy Alan a lot. There’s a lot of charm in his alleged gruffness. Oh, it’s alleged. I don’t think he’s mean. I think he’s fed up with excuses, his own and everyone else’s.  He’s lost a ton of weight—he’s doing something right. Haters will hate and really should fuck off. I toyed with joining WW…AGAIN.  I haven’t yet…I still might.  Something about joining a plan that I have joined at least 10 times in the past, just seemed so cliché to me.  I also am feeling like I don’t want to pay for the plan. I am in a financial cliff of my own lately, and don’t feel like shelling out $40 bucks a month for a plan that I already know works, because I’ve lost and gained about 100lbs following it.   So what have I been doing these past 7 days?   I have been not just watching what I eat, but actually eating with a
