I curse sugar and all of its trickery. It lures me in with a sweet soft voice, promising comfort for my soul and joy for my taste buds. It only takes one wrong step for the illusion of that golden coat of love to shatter and you fall down the icy slopes of overindulgence and regret. Once it has you hooked it is almost impossible to escape the clutches of addiction. You get sucked into a never ending circle of cravings, binging and pain.
In other words, my workout sucked this morning. It was harder than I expected and it wasn’t because I was out of breath or sore, it was because I was so… sluggish. My limbs didn’t want to obey my commands and it was near impossible to get moving. Things I knew I could normally do I just couldn’t pull off. The sugar was like lead weight in my veins this morning and no matter how hard I tried to shake it off it just wouldn’t go away. My mother says it usually takes her a couple days to work through a sugar binge, she was in the same boat I was this morning. This is something I am not looking forward to and I have learned my lesson. Just say NO to sugar overload!
On the positive side I reweighed myself this morning on the Wii Fit. It was right yesterday, I haven’t gained 2 lbs., but I haven’t lost anything either. I’m at the same weight I was last week. I know I feel better (excluding today) and I know my clothes are starting to fit a little better, it’s just not reflecting itself on the scale just yet. I wish it would… then I’d have something to brag about other than, Hey guess what? My pants buttons aren’t making indents on my stomach that bad anymore! People look at you strange when you say things like that.
TIP: STAY AWAY FROM SUGAR! Yes, it’s okay to have just one it’s not okay to have six. Trying to burn through the sugar is like trying to light really wet moss on fire. It’s not impossible but it takes a lot of effort and makes a lot of smoke…
Fresh Menu:
Week two means a new menu for me. It’s pretty similar to the one I had last week, yay for leftovers, but I added a few new things in. Veggie omelets, soup and sandwich, salmon, cold cut platters… I’m drooling a little bit just thinking about it.
I made the best flank steak of my life last week. Brushed with olive oil, topped with fresh chopped basil, thyme and oregano from the garden, sprinkled with sea salt and black pepper. It was raining so I stayed inside and broiled it in the oven. Served with a small baked potato and some steamed broccoli spritzed with lemon juice. It was un-freaking-believable. It’s the recipe from the nutrition guide with my own little herby twist on it. I’m having fun spicing these things up. I am going to continue with having steak for dinner a couple nights a week. Yes, it was that good.
