Hey all,
Well I'm back from my fantastic trip to Vancouver, and what a wonderful time I had, connecting with friends, family, and...food. I cheated... and how. I had the lofty goal of not being absolutely terrible on my trip. But alas, that didn't go so well. I had a few good meals. I opted for salad, veggies, and lean proteins where I could. But, there were a few extra starches here and there, some indulgences at Starbucks, soy chi lattes, and this amazing peanut butter chocolate pie. OMG worth it.
So now, I am taking a friend's advices (Steph's as usual - she's good at it) and I'm not going on the scale till next Friday. I'm going back on my protein and veggie plan hard, and I have the lofty goal of cutting soy and corn additives for the next 21 days. That pretty much eliminates 90% of what's in the grocery stores. No Kraft peanut butter for 21 days... that's for sure. It means no to a lot of things, and on my cheat days, it means fruit and home baking. I tried to do no processed foods, but then the debate became what counts as a processed food. I'd personally like to think whole wheat flour and coco (actual baker's coco) powder is not considered a processed food, but that could just be wishful thinking so I can make cookies on my cheat day. I personally think of processed foods as those "foods" with more additives in the ingredients list than real food, but Andrew argued grinding coco nibs is a process... ergo processed food. Please feel free to weigh in. I mean he's right, but, I'd personally like to be able to eat natural peanut butter and make cookies for Fridays.
So... day 1 of 21 starts tomorrow... No starting weight.. or measurements. It'll just have to be based on my last. Although I'll be on the scale next Friday... so that will be something to go on. I'm also gonna do a detox... see how that goes. I've never done one before, so we'll see how that goes.
I had a moment while reading a running mag... I've lost like 100lbs. My body must be so fecking happy. :)
Okay, so goals:
Water (I fell outta the habit) 8 glasses
No corn/soy additives.
No more grazing while making lunch/dinner. I'm bad for that.
Cheers All
