Tonight we celebrated my husbands birthday with his side. I made a devils food cake with homemade chocolate buttercream frosting. It was amazing, aside from the fact that my oven died and I had to bake the cake in a neighbors oven that was not as good as my oven. Bit on the odd-shaped size.
Tonight was my first cheat meal. I was a bit nervous about it. My in-laws were making chicken mole and spanish rice with beans. Fat, additives, bad carbs, fat and a side of fat. I had a piece of chicken, a small spoonful of rice with the beans. It was good. But, it was not to-die-for good. I had been dreaming of this meal for 8 weeks and it was....okay. I did not eat too much. I did not eat a helping bigger than my regular portion. I was happy with that. The birthday cake was wonderful and I had a small tbsp. size of Neapolitan ice cream. Just perfect.
And, my first cheat meal is in the books.
I am excited to get back on the plan in the morning. I am really looking forward to my healthy food being back.
I am approaching 200 lbs. and I am really happy. I am so resolved to the fact that I must exercise once each day. I like the feeling I get when I am all finished. On Friday I did (6-7) 2-2 intervals. That is a huge increase for me. I say 6-7 because I can't remember if I did 6 or 7.
We are traveling to Las Vegas on March 20th-23rd. We will be staying at the Station Casino and eating the buffet a few times. I am trying to prepare myself for that time. I will be doing it exactly by the books until we leave. When I am on vacation I must allow myself to be off and yet stay diligent about portions. I think the casino has a fitness room and I plan on working out daily, if time allows.
I need to figure out how to make my new life fit into my life. I know that sounds weird, but it is true. I cannot worry about the interruptions in my steady ride. I must move with the flow and allow interruptions to not be roadblocks.
