Day 33 - 1/3 of the weigh to 100 days!

Another successful day under my belt. Speaking of my belt, I am going to need a new one soon and some pants to go with it! Today was a test as someone rolled into my office with 8 fresh pizza's this afternoon. I did not touch a slice. I went to Wendy's and got a Spicy Chicken sandwich and a side of Mandarin oranges. I also had oatmeal, pork chops and a beef jerky today. Tonight while I watch TV I will eat my new favorite snack of light cream cheese and saltine crackers. I am really learning how to do this. I made some changes from when I started. I upped my calorie total from 1500 to 1600 hundred because that was more comfortable for me and because I knew the weight loss would still happen rather quickly at that number. A couple of times I made a mistake and went over a bit, but I didn't let that get me down and I have stuck to my guns.

That is the key to this thing. You have to know that your not perfect and you will make mistakes and that is OK. Do not throw yourself under the bus and give up on all of your hard work because things didn't go perfect that day. I remember when I would quit smoking ( I have done it a few times) and I would slip up and have a cigarette and then I would say screw it I failed  and then I would go buy a pack and let the smoking begin. You can't do that. One cigarette or in this case one Twinkie does not equal failure. it means your human and your weak and you need to get back up and fight. I have not had any blatant failures like this since this campaign has begun, but I have had them enough in the past to know where I have failed. My recent failure are usually due to a miscalculation or the calculated decision to eat a pickle because I am truly starving.

I know that if I keep doing what I am doing it is going to change my life forever.

Mañana
