Friday 4/17/15 - Day 40

I know I wasn't going to count days but I am glad that I decided to start this morning.  I looked back through my notes and saw that I started taking Alli (and therefore eating healthier) on March 9th, 2015.  The reason I am glad that I did this is because now I can see that I am only on day 40.  Up until this point I had assumed I had been eating healthier for two months.  Last year I had lost 25 lbs in two months (60 days).  I was a little discouraged that I had only lost a couple pounds in the same amount of time, but now I can see I still have twenty days to go before I hit the sixty day mark.

Breakfast today:
Okay, I overdid it.  I bought a new cereal at the store yesterday: Post Honey Graham "Oh's" cereal, and BOY did I overdo it.  First, I fell asleep on the couch last night around 9pm.  I woke up around 9:45pm to get the kids ready for bed.  The reason I fell asleep was, well because I was tired, but mainly because I was having a really strong craving for sugary foods.  I took a cat nap in hopes that the cravings would die down but, when I awoke at 9:45pm, they were ten times as strong.  I poured a HUGE bowl of the Oh's cereal and then poured SECONDS.

This morning I poured another huge bowl and now the 10.5 ounce box is almost gone.  I am happy the box is almost empty since this is obviously a food I can't control myself around... Another one to cross of my list of "safe" foods I can eat.

Lunch:
I am eating a Three Cheese Ziti from Lean Cuisine.  This is what I had for lunch practically every day last year.

Dinner Plan:
Barbecued pulled pork (which is cooking in the slow cooker right now) on hamburger buns, side of some green veggie (probably peas).


My mom is picking up the kids in a half hour.  I have two choices: 1) Go to my office and do some much needed work or 2) Go to the gym.  I would much rather go to the gym but I can't keep putting off work.  I have no choice but to go to the office....UGH.  If I hurry I may have time to go to the gym afterward, but I doubt that will happen.  I have so much work to get caught up on.

Before I do anything I have to get the kids ready and I want to finish a little bit of this organizational project I'm working on at home.
