Day 9

9 down, 12 to go!! 


I've been slacking on my blog the past 3 days so I'll do a fast forward quickly. 
After weighing ourselves, we took a bike ride around our street...but we haven't been back on them. I tried to yesterday but we had some strong winds and it about blew me off and knocked me over. Also, yesterday I almost had myself convinced in buying Wii fitness, but that was a $100 bucks I needed to hold on to for right now.  So since the biking escapade, I've had no exercise besides walking at work. Not thrilled about this but I plan on riding a little today. 


Breakfast has been the usual 2 or 3 eggs and 2 slices of  turkey bacon with honey dew melon. Except after our last grocery store visit we've been using 1 "cage free" egg a day. The calories end up being about the same as the egg whites, and Jason likes a little color with his eggs (: 


This morning I mixed breakfast up and attempted something I've never tried before.....an omelet! 
Now I regard myself as a pretty good cook, but that's with the dishes we used to eat. It's like I'm having to re-learn how to cook to fix the good stuff. So in our omelet we had

• 2 egg whites
• 1 cage free egg
• 1/4 cup onions/peppers/mushrooms
• 2 slices of turkey bacon
• green tea
• h2o
• I had 1/2 cup of freshly squeezed OJ  

I'm not sure what the policy is with OJ for the Dolce Diet but it can't be bad...I hope. 

Monday was a tough day to get through...We went to bed late, and got up at 5:45. I haven't had a problem getting up before then, but I just couldn't get motivated to do anything. So I tried to nap...wasn't happening. It was like a battle inside my body telling me to get up and do something and then telling me just go to sleep. Ugh so frustrating...I tried to take another nap around 1, I did fall asleep but I was in that half asleep half awake phase. Anyway...I guess I learned a lesson, NO NAPS! Get up and get moving is what my brain was trying to say but I just wouldn't listen. If I had I might have had a better day.

The timings and prep are getting easier to me, I guess after 9 days of basically repetition it should. I don't waver on my times any more than 30 minutes or so. I can def tell when I need to eat, I begin to feel give out, and within seconds I feel like I'm starved for nutrients!  Working nights has its set backs. I eat my snack before I leave at 3:45, so I'm scheduled to eat my dinner by at least 7. 7:00 in the restaurant business is the busiest time of the night in most cases. (same goes for lunch shifts, im scheduled to eat at 12 just like everyone else) Usually I'm literally stuffing food in my mouth between getting my food from the kitchen and chewing it up before I leave the door so that my customers aren't thinking I'm eating their food. So after eating fast, and then running my ass off from 6:30-8:30 I'm starving again by 9. So I've been taking a banana along with my dinner and eating that when I start to feel weak again. Working weekend nights, we don't close until 11, and that makes it even more of a challenge to keep fueled. Last weekend I took oatmeal and berries to give me more of a kick than just the banana. 


I've had 3 people share with me that my face has thinned out, and now ( just like I assumed ) the girls at work are asking me questions about The Dolce Diet. Wanting to see the pamphlet, wanting to know exactly what's in that salad?? will you make me one and bring it?? will you let me borrow the book?? HA I love it! Theres nothing more motivating than positive feedback! 


So heres to the next 12 days and getting more positive feedback all the while becoming just a more positive person.
