I made an oopsie on my last post. I was actually on Day 4, to technically I was already over the hump. It made the rest of the week go by pretty quickly. On the downside, I "cheated" on day 6. I had a nanaimo bar for dessert. Then yesterday, which was my last day on my challenge, I had a lot of running around to do, and just gave up and ate at McDonald's. It was a shame too, because yesterday was my lowest weight check in, 220.6lbs. And today I weighed in at 221.6lbs. But this week taught me a lesson. I never took the time to look at what I was eating. And what I was eating was wheat. Lots and lots of wheat. Cereals, toast, waffles, pancakes for breakfasts, sandwiches for lunch, pastas for dinner. Today was a perfect example of a typical day. I had a bowl of cereal for breakfast. I had eggs and toast for lunch. And we had pizza for supper. I don't want to continue down this path. I am making a conscious decision to significantly reduce my wheat intake, and to look for alternative foods. It will continue to be a daily challenge to change up our meals, but I feel like this is an important step to getting healthier. Tomorrow, I am not going to be completely wheat free, but I think I will restrict myself to having one meal with wheat. Breakfast and lunch will be wheat free.
I am hoping to start going back to the gym this week. Or at least start working out at home. Or both. I actually miss the gym. Weird. But it's good head-clearing time. Tomorrow will be a busy day with errands, but possibly Wednesday and/or Thursday, I will start up again. Maybe even tomorrow, if I squeeze in a work out after the kids go to bed. I need to step up. I need to lose this weight. So help me, I will lose the weight.
