So last night I was restless, it took quite a while for me to get to sleep and then I kept waking up during the night. At one point I was freezing cold yet I have no idea why.
Moving along I have decided to put the daily stats into a more useful format.

My stomach was not feeling well this morning. I felt nauseous, I think it was due to the really light dinner I ate. I decided to make a Southwest Omelet with four egg whites , one whole egg with chili powder, cumin, and black pepper scrambled. I cooked it until it was firm like a shell then added medium salsa and four cheese Mexican Cheese on half of the omelet and folded it over itself. I also put a side of sour cream on the plate. I had 4 oz of Orange Juice. I almost had more but stopped myself. I only ate a little dab of the sour cream and decided not to eat the rest. The reason I decided on the Southwest Omelet is because of the spices it should help quell any hunger pains and shut down any cravings.
I decided to pack one of my pre-made dinners for lunch today; Chicken Ala King. I know today will be a struggle so the last thing I need to be is hungry. I also packed an apple, a cheese snack and a Quest Protein Bar. I checked this morning the protein bars are only 170 calories, I thought they were more. Also the salad I usually eat is 280 calories and the cheese snack bars are 80 calories. The Chicken Ala King clocks in at 396 calories. I don’t know what the apple, orange juice or coffee clock in at but the coffee and orange juice will be eliminated soon.
Tonight I will eat a pre-made dinner as well. I think it is meatballs or was it stir fry? I’ll try to update again this evening. I really am mentally preparing myself tonight as the middle of the week has always been my stumbling block. If I can get through today I know my resolve will be that much better.
I am already thinking about this weekend. While some people follow the cheat once a week (usually weekends) thing with their diets I am going to opt not to no matter what for now. All it will do will cause voracious carb cravings while my willpower and resolve is still building up. Which in turn threatens to erase all of my progress if I break. I don’t need to put myself in harm’s way. I need to build up my willpower and resolve so for now I am going to completely avoid the potential pitfall. I also hope that by doing this I will be down 10 – 12 lbs or more by Sunday morning. We will see.
