Week 3 Done: I Cheated

I would love to say that I was good and that things are going great; but I can't lie to my loyal blogger fans... I cheated.  

Saturday after an intense championship football game (of which we lost, very upset 11 year old boys, so hard to watch), we got home around 8pm, and I hadn't taken anything out (chicken, turkey, etc) to cook. So I made the infamous Mac and Cheese dinner. I've gone three weeks cooking this for the kids, and not once have I had any. I haven't even tested the noodles, or the finished product to make sure it was ok! Saturday night though, I caved. I had a bowl of Mac and Cheese. I felt so guilty, even while I was eating it I was thinking, you are so dumb. 

Let's just say the next morning, the Mac and Cheese karma set in. I felt like crap. My stomach was throbbing (you know the kind when you feel like you have a knife being shoved into your gut, yea that one). It wasn't until about 2pm that I finally started feeling "better." 

I don't need anyone to reprimand me, I did that to myself enough. I just needed to come clean and tell everyone. Now, because I was dumb, I am going to push my reboot a few days longer. Today is supposed to be the start of my week of reintroducing things into my diet (lactose, gluten, sugar, etc). Well, seeing that I had ALL of that in the meal I ate, and I felt like crap -- I am not sure what it was exactly that made me feel that way (which is really the point of this whole reboot). It could have been the lactose, gluten -- anything, I mean really, it's processed food -- or it could have just been my body saying, you dummy! So, instead of starting my intake week today (Monday), I'll be starting it Friday (and no, it won't start with Mac and Cheese!). 

Funny, I really don't even want cheese now. Which is the only thing I've been craving since the beginning LOL. 

On the plus side, I am .8lbs away from my goal for October 31st! I got on the scale this morning and it said 195.8lbs. WHAT! I've lost 10lbs since October 6th! That's crazy. Maybe not for all of you, but for me...when I say I busted my ASS for 6 months to lose 20lbs and in less than 1 month I loose 10lbs...that's what is keeping me going right now. And actually it's more like 11lbs because I know I was hanging around 206lbs when I started :) hehe...whoot whoot!

Here's to ONE MORE WEEK to hit 195lbs even (or less).
