OOPS Mexican Restaurant Food on Friday night!

Ok well I never said I was going to be perfect, especially in the beginning. As I mentioned on day one, I believe that when you are changing lifelong habits you need to make baby steps. So if I eat very well all week long and then eat fried foods on Friday night (along with a double strawberry marguerita) don’t say I didn’t say so at the beginning! Unless we are planning to become a raw food purist, then we still need to live our LIFE. Living life to me means "when in Rome…. enjoy yourself).

So I did the whole salads and good raw healthy foods yesterday all day.and even though I was tired I did my exercises. I didn’t feel like I had energy for weights yesterday, so I got on the exercise bike. I rode for 20 minutes with resistance, and then one of my business partners phoned me, so I popped into the office and grabbed my headset and went back to the bike and rode without resistance while we spoke on the phone. That was another half an hour! WOW It felt good, and I wasn’t ‘tired’ when I was finished but I still didn’t feel like doing weights so I just didn’t.

So breakfast, just toast, and a glass of orange juice. Lunch was a great big salad, and I had 2 apples in the afternoon, plus lots of water. I know that’s not very much, so when Jim called and asked if I wanted to go for supper I only hesitated for a moment! We went to El Burrito Loco… a great little Mexican Restaurant downtown, and we had a tortilla soup (which is VERY good!) and split the El Grande platter which is a little of a lot of different mexican dishes… a taco, a flautus, a burrito, a handful of nachos. half a quesadilla, some beans and rice and likely a couple of other things that I ate and forgot. When we left, we were both stuffed. ooooooo I don’t like that feeling! I was uncomfortable all evening! But it was nice to get out!

A word on getting out:

I’ve been embarrassed by all of the extra weight.

When Jim first called and said "Let’s go out for supper" my first instinct was to say "no". I don’t want anyone to see me this way. Then I realized that my car hasn’t moved since I got my nails done a week and a half ago. Literally I haven’t left the house in 10 days. That is SO not good for me. I am such a social creature! Is it possible that my lack of interaction with real human beings face to face is contributing to my depression, which in turn contributes to my weight loss? It isn’t just possible, but I belief it is probable. So I took care with my appearance…. makeup, hair, nice clothes… before we went out. I felt good about myself, and didn’t allow those bad feelings to creep in.

Well today I feel ‘dry’ and yet fluid retentive. SO it will be lot’s of water today, and more good food and exercise.

I also want to let you know that I did wrtie that promised article on Chocolate! Not just once but TWICE! Twice written after a full day of research, only to have my browser freeze before I saved it. Talk about frustrating! Well I will re-write it today. That will only happen a few times before I remember to hit the save button every once in a while! LOL

Have a wonderful day!

Many Blessings,

Shelley
