Day 3: Harder than I thought?

I've made it through my first 3 days, I feel like I have went so far, but there is soooo far left to go. In just three days, I feel like I have said "no," more than I thought I ever would be able to.

I started off Friday night by babysitting. I let the kids make their own pizzas (Thinking if I didn't have one to eat, I wouldn't be tempted, right? Wrong...) I did make it through that, but then came the dessert pizza, I had promised them last Tuesday. I wanted nothing else but grab that and eat it as fast as I could. But I didn't. I ate my chicken breast and carrots, and savored every last bite of my apple with peanut butter. Definitely harder than I thought. 

When I got back Saturday, I was prepared for the challenge of eating at home. I knew it was going to be tough being around all the things at home. I had already prepared my parents by telling them that I was not eating any processed foods, I could have meat, seafood, veggies, fruit, etc. They were perfect in abiding by my wishes. We had steak and lobster (I didn't eat the  butter) There was also fresh shrimp as an appetizer, but have you ever looked at the ingredients in cocktail sauce?! Ouch, definitely could not dip my shrimp in that. The second ingredient was HFCS, and the third ingredient corn syrup? Really?? Going to start researching a clean recipe for that soon. 

Sunday, we went out for brunch. This was difficult. I ended up ordering the oatmeal (100% steel cut oats) and one egg. I felt this was the safest and cleanest options when ordering out.
How do you know it's the right choice if you never make it? Sometimes you make choices in life, and sometimes choices make you. I know in six months, I am not going to look like all those other girls in bikinis. I am okay with that. I will be myself, only a happier and definitely healthier version. I have 49 days to be bikini ready and my workouts have been slacking a lot lately. Tomorrow starts a reasonable, but intense, workout classes. This should be interesting..


Of course, I will keep you updated!!
