One Week Down. Many More To Go!

Well, week one is over and I MADE IT! It was not completely easy. I weighted my self Tuesday and it wasn't pretty! But, ok, it's the start!!! Monday and Tuesday I had bad migraine headaches, Wednesday I was down for the count with flu symptoms and a fever, Thursday I felt better, friday and the weekend I felt GREAT! So, the go away to remember for week one ..... detox sucks, but it's liveable! I kept to the diet and even had some temptations! Nike had two events last week, one was a big Football Party for the BCS National Game on Thursday evening, free food and open bar, and wonderful desserts. I managed to walk through the food line and ended up with a small piece each of chicken, steak and salmon and a small salad on my plate. I managed to go to the bar and walk away with a bottle of water, and I avoided the dessert table all together. I really felt good about that. Friday we had a team meeting and they had food and beer there also. I walked away with celery sticks, a little ranch dressing and a bottle of water! Another good moment! I can't say it was easy, but it sure felt good!!!! I rewarded myself Friday by going by the Employee Store and getting a new workout outfit for me to start that phase this week.

The weekend brought a few other challenges, when I'm home alone, I like to eat. So I did have a few more things to eat than during the week, but they were all very good choices like Sugar Free Jello, low fat cheese sticks. I had so much energy I got so much done around the house and felt so good last night before I went to bed about myself! I can't believe how good I feel about this journey and myself right now!!! I did all my prep work yesterday for this week and it was fun. I made a killer Avocado Zuchini Soup (de-lish!), and baked pork chops smothered with mushrooms (another de-lish!!!) So, I'm ready for week 2, this week will be the same as far as food, but I will now add exercise! Not sure how well that will go, but hey, I will look cute!!!!!

I even mastered yet another challenge. Tom called last week. I could see from the caller ID that it was him. I let it go to voicemail. He left a message that he needed to talk to me and I needed to call him back. I thought long and hard about what it is that he could possibly want to talk to me about. I dreamed that it was him calling to say he was a fool and he made a huge mistake and wanted me back. But, I thought, how real is it that will happen ..... Not Very! So other than that, there was nothing I wanted to hear from him about. NOTHING! And if he thinks one call is going to change this girl's mind, he is even a bigger fool that he may think! The point is, I have come so far and gone through so much and I am now on an incredible wonderful journey, that if someone is going to share my life, he is going to have to one happy healthy guy and support me in all I do! I don't see that person anywhere around .... yet. And frankly, I'm not ready! This journey right now is all about me for a change .... and it feels good!

So here we go for another week. I hope tomorrow's weight in is a good one. It feels like it should be. Now if I could only legally destroy who ever it was that brought in donuts today and put them right outside my office!!! :)
