It's strange that when temptation is removed and I'm in a controlled area (i.e. my house) I can be much stronger and more successful about what I eat. However, being in my industry food is an essential part of success and what I do every day. It's important that I know what things taste like and am aware of how wines pair etc. with everything. What I need to be okay with is one bite of something to get the flavor or being okay with not trying the soup of the day or the gelato of the day -- it's hard though when it's set right in front of you. However, I did do better yesterday, I just did a bite of each of the specials. Granted at the end of the night I did have about half a cup of polenta and some mango -- both not on program. It's like I was so close to having a perfect day, but when the day was coming to a close I didn't follow through. It's like my will power was dead at the end of the night -- so I need to figure that one out.
Maybe this is a bad mind set to have but I was kind of thinking about the 80/20 rule -- no one is perfect and my job does demand to some extent that I try the food -- so if I'm good 80% of the time and less good 20% and really focus on whether or not it is important that I try a certain dish, not necessarily whether I want to try it, maybe that will be more successful.
A couple more things that I'm looking forward to when I lose the weight
- the gap between your legs
- being able to wear a sports bra only in my work out classes
- asking to be in the front row for my work out classes
- not having to shimmy up the pants
- feeling comfortable in less makeup (it's melting off any way)
So bottom line -- yesterday I worked out, stayed 80% on program and lost a little weight. Feels good.
Time to do it again today!
