So, day two was fun; I was working at Rexall, and one of my managers comes in with a big bowl of you guessed it...Chocolate. Yeah. I was in total fml mode. But... again, I resisted. So very happy with that. And of course green tea and white tea, and diet, and all those other goals accomplished :) But, I almost bought at pudding cake. Don't ask me why, but I almost bought myself and Linda an apple cinnamon cake. The only reason it didn't make it home was I forgot my wallet this morning. My sugar cravings were horrible yesterday. It was like... Sugar nom nom nom... for the most part I resisted. I had a piece of toast with a little bit of honey and cinnamon on it. That did the trick.
I think I'm going to roast a few more almonds tonight before turning in. Honey cinnamon this time.
I've been reading up on the glycemic index, and I think I might try altering my diet a little. I was talking to a cop at rex who doubled as a personal trainer and we got on the subject of weight loss, and he told me that after about 2 weeks of following a low glycemic diet it creates a hormone reaction that makes your body burn fat for energy rather then turn on the insulin to store it, or just burn food for energy. I'm still going to keep to the changes I'm doing down, but I'm thinking of trying to give up breads and starchy foods, and just try out doing the low GI foods. Couldn't hurt, people have been saying for decades to avoid white flower products, and while whole weat bread isnt that high, it's not that low either... But a lot of what I've read says that pasta is a GI product, but the trick is to prepair it al dente, strikingly different than what westerners have been trained to cook and eat it. The worst that will happen... I'll miss bread... the best that will happen, I'll loose more weight and eat healthier.
Anyways, I think the white and green tea is starting to kick in, tonight I'm having this abundant feeling of energy. It's 930 and all I want to do is go jogging... considering my streets are ice rinks, I'll clean my room, change my sheets, and get some stuff ready for tomorrow.
Oh, and Andrew brought me purple flowers at work. I love them... So pretty :D. I'm gonna hit the gym tomorrow, then he's cooking and it's a couple's night. Nice thing too, cause I don't have to be at work till 6 Tuesday. Sucks a little this week, my only day off is sunday.
Hmm.. I need to get to Costco and replenish my veggie supplies. Lordy.
Gym tomorrow, get on the treadmill again. See what's what for jogging. hmm Alright.. new sheets!
Cheers All
