On being hungry and sober.
Alright, alright. I never wrote anything about goals and resolutions for 2015. I was too busy on vacation soaking up the sunshine.
So, let's get to it. New Year, New Me!
...
Sike!
I don't do that shiite.
Like always, I want to continue to try to be healthy and keep my body strong, be a good mom and raise happy, healthy kids, keep my little family together, eat more organic food and less fake, chemical laden crap, make more genuine friendships, continue to find streams of money that allow me to buy "extras", etc. These are the goals I have all year long- not just in January's. They are the laws that rule my life.
So, blah, blah, blah, I don't really make resolutions.
BUT, since I stopped running 60 miles a month back in October, I haven't worked out. At all. Then Thanksgiving came, then Christmas break, then the California trip, and New Years- all the while I was eating crap and drinking too much. I have gained a legit 10 pounds over my "set" weight. Not my skinny, running 60 miles a month weight but my normal, not trying that hard weight. I weigh more today than I ever have without a little peanut in my belly.
So, while I am not making a resolution, I am not going to keep these extra pounds on this year so the day after we got back from California, I started a DIET. Yes, a dreaded diet. No bread (pasta, bread products- white or wheat, rice, etc), dairy, sugar, or alcohol. I am a lifelong vegetarian so no meat either. I am adding fake crab meat because I can stomach it and I know I need some more protein since I am cutting out the dairy.
I don't want to gloss over the fact that I said no alcohol. Let that sink in. No alcohol.
Ok, moving on. So, I am hungry. Very, very hungry. I am on day 5 and I have been successful. No cheating at all. Except a bit of creamer in my coffee in the morning. I can't give it up and I need it. I am not drinking full on latte's but I need some coffee in the morning.
I want to get through January on this plan. It's only 3 weeks of dieting. I should be able to make it. I am not making a full on promise to make it 3 weeks because it is so restrictive but I am going to try. Depending on how easily the 10 pounds come off, I might add in some dairy next week.
I am down two pounds in five days, so far. I am not putting too much stock in that because my weight fluctuated two or three pounds a day depending on water weight but no matter what, I am on the right track.
Is anyone else starting the new year off with a crazy diet?
