GNO

November 4, 2008 Election Day

I am not feeling awesome today. My throat and my head hurt super bad. I stayed out last night with my friend until 3 a.m. So being tired isn’t helping much. I behaved on my GNO. We went to Applebee’s and I ordered garlic herb chicken and I asked them to hold the potatoes, hold the steamed veggies and give me a side salad and I had just a smidge of fat free ranch on the side. I didn’t finish the salad. We usually go to Starbucks or somewhere for coffee but we just went to Shari’s after we shopped and I drank black coffee and lots of water.

My friend and I talked about this diet a good chunk of the night. For me, it was good to verbalize some of my struggles and paradigm shifts. I hope I didn’t bore her to death, but she’s a good friend and a good listener. If she was bored to death, I’d never know it.

I got a really late start today due to the GNO. I did weigh myself but it was at 11 am. I lost 4 pounds. I’ll weigh myself again tomorrow morning and see if that number jives. Regardless, that brings my weight loss total to 11 pounds in two weeks. I would’ve preferred 5 lbs. Maybe I need to be more realistic and think that 11 pounds in two weeks is pretty amazing. I have seen that kind of numbers with weight watchers before though, and I was just thinking that this diet is supposed to yield better results. Of course, my metabolism has changed a lot since then so this truly could be an amazing accomplishment. Next order is going to include the momentum shakes for boosting your metabolism I think. Maybe Chemae won’t recommend that for this stage in the game, but I’m going to see if I can get away with it.
