Thursday...

I've had such a hard time not thinking that today is Friday. Don't know why. It's just one of those things.

I tossed the left over GS cookies in the bin outside bc I ate two yesterday. Gone. I keep my promises to myself. 

The Allan challenge is going alright. I find that if I can drink 64 oz before leaving the house, the rest of the 160 oz is easier to consume... and I don't spend all my work time in the bathroom. 

The Lent (no eating out) thing is going really well. I haven't been to a restaurant/diner/deli or purchased any premade food. Figuring that I'd said yes to all the dinner/lunch invitations, I've been able to save about $80 in the last week or so. It's gone straight into the pig of dreams to help pay for the move to NYC. 

Dear pounds, Be afraid of me. Sincerely, Nanette

The scale has been all over the place this week. I've been under my 1900 calorie allotment every day. However, still the lowest number I've seen is 319. I'm trying to keep my chin up about it. I have been eating more grains and more salt. This is to be expected. I'm also building muscle with these work outs. I hope the that muscle will set me up for some longer term success... Big picture, Nanette, Big picture. 

I'd followed a myriad of links last night from many different blogs, reading tons of different articles, tons of different blogs. Usually this is a good enough tool to get me amped and ready to eat my weight in greens - instead of beiges. I'm going to call these unhealthy cravings results of eating sugar and excess wheat. 

This is also the last month of the pill I'm going to take until June. Goodbye beautiful skin. I'll see you again soon. 

If I want smaller numbers, more single ingredient food. More veg. More protein. More fiber. 

So today...
