Slipping and Sliding is an appropriate name for today. I did very well, all day. I ate cereal with fruit for breakfast, chipotle with no meat, cheese, or sour cream for lunch, and drank water all day. When we got home, we had whole wheat spaghetti with roasted tomato sauce and salads.
All was going according to plan.
And then I uncovered a deep seated sense of deprivation in my wife. She wasn't happy, and there was nothing I could do about it.
Ice cream it was. We hopped in the car around 8pm and drove to McDonald's.
I had avoided fast food joints all week because I knew I wouldn't stop at an ice cream cone. I didn't.
I got a small chocolate shake, small fry, and cheeseburger. It was awesome.
I didn't touch the Coke. I can't let myself slip on that front. I like it way too much to go there so soon on this program. But nevertheless, we did go off-diet, and it was great.
Tomorrow, no compromise. This weekend, no weakness. We've done remarkably well this week, and we'll continue to do well. I've gotten up around 6am every day this week and exercised. I've only drank water and a couple of glasses of vanilla rice milk. We're on track to make huge changes and I intend to keep it up. Part of that formula, however, is complete honesty with myself and with the massive numbers of people reading this hugely popular blog.
Tomorrow I'll start writing about some of the reasons we're doing this and what the plan is for the next few months.
