DAY 2

Have you ever really noticed that when you are on a diet or a lifestyle change that it feels like the world is out to get you?  That's the way I felt yesterday on day 2.  Starting with one of my favorite candies offered to me as soon as I got to work, then by people at work ordering one of my favorite types of pizza for lunch.
I was just like "you're killing me people"!  However with great determination I succeeded in eating my salad, which was really good by the way, and keeping my head held high.
I went to the doctor yesterday to get the results of my physical last month.  I'll just tell you I wasn't very happy with what I saw on the scale.  I had only lost like 2 lbs.  I went from like 183 point something to 181.7.  According to the scale my BMI was still 31 of course because I hadn't lost anything significant.
Overall all my blood work came back fine, blood pressure was fine, but she had forgotten to take my cholestrol levels.  Well this time last year it was like 588 for triglycirides and over 200 for the overall.
Hence the reason for the lifestyle change.
Well I get home and the kids are as usual calm for Nonna, but when she walks out the door all hell breaks loose.  They go absolutely wild.  Why is it your children are always perfect angels for the grandparents, school, daycare, babysitter, well everyone except you.  That is so mind boggling to me.
Therefore the third sabatoge for the day.  They don't want what I'm trying to cook, so I have to make them chicken nuggets and fries.  Do you know how many times I picked up a fry to put in my mouth while cooking them?  I thought dang this diet is going to be really hard when I had dip them ice cream for dessert.  I guess I didn't have to give them that, but hey I'm a mom and I gave in, ok.   Just to let you know I did persevere though!  I didn't take one bite of anything I was tempted with all day long.
However I almost burned my and my husband's dinner, which was London Broil, Surpise potatoes again, and a sauted mushroom and spinach side.  It actually all turned out to be really good to my surprise.
I then treated myself to a sugar free fudgesicle.
Fitness side didn't turn out well again today.  Dang I'm out of shape.
I have purchased a pleathora of work out videos including 3 from Jillian Micheals.  They are 30 Day Shred, Yoga Melt Down, and 6 week abs.  Well I made it thru 5 minutes of the 30 Day Shred & 7 minutes of the Yoga Melt Down.  Not Good!
Time to go to work will share more later at lunch!
