Last night was AWFUL. I had the worst headache and the nausea was like every 10 minutes. I wanted so bad to quit. I gave my body an ultimatum. If I was not down at least a pound in the morning I was going to put the program on hold. I've never wanted to not lose weight so bad in my life!
I know what you're thinking..."Come on Amanda. It's only been 2 days." Yes...the hardest 2 days in a long time! To make matters even more intolerable after I finished eating my dinner of brown rice, broccoli, and mushrooms my husband decides he's finally hungry and nothing in the house is good enough to suit him. 20 minutes later he comes back and sits down with a huge drink and a big brown bag that smelled of french fries and deliciousness.
Now I must be honest. The smell of those greasy fries actually made me feel sick. I was pretty shocked they had that effect on me. However, he then pulls out this thick, round construction wrapped in the prettiest silver package. As he comes closer to show me the beautifully constructed sandwich I see the steam billowing out of the shiny wrapper and then I see it. . . a double cheeseburger from Five Guys. Granted, I have never eaten a cheeseburger from Five Guys but I've heard so much about it and man that thing smelled good! To answer your question, no, I did not cheat. . . I left the room.
Back to my ultimatum . . . I've been weighing everyday just to track my progress. On Wednesday I was 139 and Thursday morning I was 138. I felt so awful that if I was still 138 or heaven help if I was MORE than that I was going to throw in the towel. Well I got up later this morning after trying to sleep off my massive headache and I weighed.
The verdict: 136 . . . TWO pounds. God really has a way of getting the message across. So I'm going to stick it out. I can do it, with God's help I know I can and I will feel so much better afterwards. I'm just ready for this "natural energy" to kick in that I've read about.
