Here is the update on how I have been doing.
The Good
I managed to keep from drinking wine during the week. Truth is I came down with a terrible virus and had a very sore throat so drinking alcohol was pretty much impossible - but it still counts. Breakfast and lunch I stuck to the plan (mostly) and it was pretty easy. Dinners are where I fall a bit apart. I definitely had some good days though. The very good was that I competed in the dragon boat race I had been training for. We didn't win but we didn't come in last so that is something. It was hard work so I must have burned a couple of calories. Also, I road my bike to the competition and I did not collapse so I think I should be able to start riding to work again once this virus clears up.
The Bad
I ate some meat and some dairy. I had pizza on Friday night because I was so exhausted and we had no food in the house. That is life. I am far from perfect. Pizza is going to happen from time to time. It was delicious if that helps. I may have eaten a little tiny bit of chocolate but it was dark chocolate and I put it on strawberries so that is not so bad -right?
The Pudgy
Well I did not loose a ton of weight. No shocker there. I did loose about 2 pounds all in all. Which is okay I guess especially as I did not really commit as much as I should have. Having this cold sapped me of all energy and will power and what little was left my toddler gobbled up completely.
So that is the progress report. What to do now? Well obviously I have to try to commit more completely to this plan. Possibly ease up on the pizza and chocolate. Get back on that bicycle literally and metaphorically.
