Day 5!
I made it through 5 days with little or no issues. Okay maybe that isn't entirely true. It is by no means easy and I am just a cranky bitch to be around at times. Dieting does not do well for one's psyche. I am looking forward to my one non-diet day of the week. Sunday to be exact. Now, don't get me wrong. I am not going to run out and splurge on burgers, pizza, milkshakes, and all of the other wonderful, high-calorie foods that I can get my hands on. I will keep it within reason. The reason I am doing this is partly because without one day a week of normalcy, I might just lose it. It is also something that I can look forward to throughout the week.
This Sunday, I plan on a spa morning with friends, then Phillipino lunch at Bamboo Grill, then I am going to come home and prepare a yummy dinner for my husband and friends. I am not going CRAZY with the dinner, but because I love to cook and entertain, this is something I must give myself. I am preparing, thanks to The Martha Stewart Cookbook, Collected Recipes for Every Day:
Martha's Mashed Potatoes (I will make them less caloric, using less butter and cream cheese than she calls for)
Spinach Souffle (which just looks to-die-for and I bought a souffle dish just for the occasion)
Carrot and Squash Puree (Mmmmm Tasty! And very wintry)
Whole Roasted Chicken with Goat Cheese and Sage (how can your mouth NOT water after reading that?)
Minted Chocolate Mousse (her lightest dessert in the book, and I am substituting half & half for heavy cream)
I have a friend bringing salad and wine. Sounds like a nice dinner!
Ohh how I love Martha Stewart. She is such an inspiration to me.
Sometimes I get down on myself about this diet. This seriously has been the longest week in recent history that I can remember. Remember on Day 1 how I weighed in at 189 lbs? Well I weighed myself this morning, mostly because I had to see if I was getting results or I was just going to throw in the towel. I weighed in at 183 lbs! Not bad! Except I don't really FEEL the difference yet. Everyone keeps telling me to be patient. I don't know how much longer I can do this without feeling and seeing results. It is so hard to not give in to temptation that I am seeing everywhere I turn!
Just looking forward to Sunday!
See ya!
