JUST SAY NO

Ok, so this week isn't as easy as expected. I've gotten exceptionally busier and I can't believe it's already Monday, Monday night at that.

What I have noticed that is good:
  1. Water has become my best-friend, I actually look forward to drinking water, not tea, water
  2. I'm sleeping better at night, I'm not sure if it has to do with my food intake, but it is a thumbs up
  3. I'm feeling a tad bit better about myself, appearance, whatnot. I'm not saying the my body is dramatically changing, but I'm slowly learning to love what I already have.
What I have noticed that is bad:
  1. I'm drinking coffee again. I've never really knew how to follow a "diet," I've always gone back to depriving myself from food, and with coffee only being 1 point, my mind is ok with that (why it's on my 'bad' list).
  2. I am 2000% more disappointed in myself if I go over points or by not getting a workout in. I know it has nothing to do with the actual program, but I give myself serious tough love.
What's good and bad:
  1. Some days I go over and some days it's hard to even make the regular 24 points. For example: Yesterday Frank and I went out to eat at Applebees where I bought fish with broccoli. I've never really tried fish. Frank also bought a healthier alternative (florentine ravioli) to show his support. Well, I HATED the fish and ended up getting a burger, not only that but we had DESSERT, KILL ME, I went way over. But on the other hand today it was very hard to even make 24 points. I have to say it's all about where you're going and what you are doing. Today I spent 4 hours with my mentor and lasted the whole time with my coffee, but yesterday Frank took me on a date where I am surrounded by smells that I just can't say no to.


Lesson? Find something that always keeps busy, and don't even look at food around you. Not even fast-food signs. Red and yellow? Proven to create a hungry feeling. Make any connection?

I guess Taco Bell is out of the loop.

Need anymore help? motivation? knowledge of what you are eating? Please go on Youtube or anywhere and watch "Super Size Me." I know it sounds crazy but knowing what fast-food does to you're body really helps me stay away from it.
