Holy cow. One week left (tomorrow)!!!!! I can't believe how fast the time has gone! It's amazing :D. Kind of exciting. Right?! It took about 3 weeks to get over some of my mental stuff but we're here. I'm passed the "I want this" stage. I'm in the "eh, I can do without it." Yes, making brownies or something would be great but I think this time has shifted my thinking about food. Though I won't lie to you, I really would like to eat a pastry and drink coffee for the sheer "coolness" of it. Not because I need it to live. Just because it's something different for me....different than eggs. I'm semi-sick of eggs. Yesterday was an egg breakfast which is fine and that kept me going most of the day!! I had Korean BBQ for dinner, so yummy and filling.
It's interesting how a workout mid-day will change my eating for the rest of the day. I worked out, kinda hard around 3:30pm (until 4:30pm) and ended up not eating dinner until 9pm (there was a super long wait at the restaurant) but had plantain chips with almond butter around 5pm. I find if I snack after my workout, I don't need dinner right away. It's kinda nice!
Last night, I went out of the house in leggings as pants. They were my new splits59. Full disclosure, they are semi-see through, which made me self-conscious but I was able to buy a long shirt last night that will cover my booty.
Today is low-key, making homemade almond milk (!!!!) and chicken wings and starting to read one of the books I recently purchased. I've also gotten more serious about my workouts. I'm in the lifting stage. I'm making more of a conscious effort to lift before cardio and then do some cardio. Gotta get stronger! It's my goal to be a lean, mean, picking things up machine (haha).
So 21 days. It's amazing how the time has flown. It's been hard but I think it's easier and when this whole thing is over, I'm going to keep up my activity level and try to keep my sweets intake to once a week rather than every day. Also if this almond milk thing goes well, I'm going to make it more often. It's not that hard. I've watched a few youtube videos about how to do it but the most recent one suggests adding a pitted date for added sweetness. I am going to try it! I'm excited because the coconut cream I've been adding to my cold brew isn't as sweet as I'd like but it's tasty.
Recipe and instructions to come later today!
