It is morning. I lingered in bed as long as I could, but I need to shop today. I had a touch of insomnia, mostly from emotional turmoil still lingering over my decision to part from the Wild Diet FB community. It really is a great community, and I couldn't have made it to Week 4 of the 30 Day Challenge without them. But sometimes you just have to leave something, for whatever reasons. Yesterday was full of emotions, and emotional eating in the evening. I'm a little hungry now, and debating whether I'll brew coffee or tea, or just have cider vinegar water. I'm thinking the water. I've been extra hormonal despite my period ending 2 weeks ago, and I want to give the butter coffee fasting a break, maybe eat some more starches in my regular diet. I'm considering getting some sweet potatoes today.
For the sake of the new blog, I weighed myself for a concrete number to start off with. 429.8. I will re-weigh myself this next Sunday, and post a photo of the scale. It will also be Before and After Picture Day. So I will post those pictures then, as well.
I have got to cook my ribs soon, they've been in the fridge for half a week. Stuff has gone on, and I just haven't cooked much the last few days. I still plan on cauliflower with the ribs, though I'm unsure how I will make it. I am considering working some bacon in there as well.
On the grocery list today is ground beef, which is on sale. The fancy burger recipes provided through Abel's materials themselves are heavenly, and wrapping and freezing them individually proved a lifesaver the first couple weeks. Roasts are on sale, but I may only pick up a corned beef brisket. I will pick up a couple cartons of egg, which are also on sale- 99 cents! Raw shrimp and a bag of frozen berries. I usually pick up avocados and cheese as well, but it's going to depend on what's available. I would always post a grocery haul, so I will continue that here, along with the total spent. Oh.. I'm out of chocolate as well. :x
Today will be spent focusing on staying on plan, since I've been lax during Week 3. I will get back into the habit of cooking and keeping up on cleanup. I will also be knitting, as I found an amusing object to knit up. If it warms up enough, I might restart my practice of knitting outside my apartment.
My goals for the end of the week are mostly to keep consistent in my habits and eating. Long term habits are achieved through consistent behavior, and I want the Wild Diet to be habitual for the rest of my lifetime. I have a pair of skinny jeans which I can't pull up over my gut. I think they're mislabeled, because I have another pair, supposedly the same size, that slip on so easily I've never had to unzip them. I wear a 34W, but the skinny jeans feel like a 32W or even a 30W. I don't need to be able to zip them, but if I could just get them up over my belly, I would consider that a victory. I would also like to be able to fit into my smaller underwear. I bought a package in the wrong size by accident, and they're sitting all rolled up and pretty in my dresser. But, a lot can happen in a week, and very little can happen in a week. So long as I stick to my goal of consistency, I will have a successful week.
I have no major incites today, as yesterday was just full of angst and struggles. I mean, my chocolate and peanut butter indulgences didn't harm things too much, I'm actually lighter than my FB weigh-in day number from Sunday. So I guess that's a pretty cool thing. ;)
Here's to a new day, a new beginning, and a positive journey.
