Week 5 Day 1

A New Beginning…

I took last weekend off and am feeling the effects of a food related hang over this morning. My head aches and my stomach is queasy to say the least. Apparently a huge platter of nachos with extra jalapenos is not the best way to end a weekend off the wagon.

I feel terrible, literally on the verge of puking, and I couldn't be happier.

You see the proof is in the pudding, the sugar-free and only 60 calories a serving pudding. I have lived with the notion that eating what I want makes me happy. Well brother I can tell you that a weekend of eating what I want has made me miserable and I don't want to go back to that anymore.

It is clear that eating well is a choice and a lifestyle and that choosing to eat better foods isn't a burden. That those choices actually make every part of my day a little better, a little more energizes, a little less nauseous. Sure I still think about the "bad" food – it's impossible not to when the commercials run nonstop on TV – but the minutes of eating DQ ice cream or bacon infused tacos just aren't worth the costs of the rest of the day.

So I am going to spend the rest of today downing aspirins and eating celery sticks not because I have to, but I am doing it because I want to, I want to feel better physically.

All that said, soy ice cream sucks ass. I will go to low-carb, low-fat frozen yogurt and ice cream. Just saying.

Starting the week slightly worse for wear after the weekend of debauchery at -12.5 from start or +2.5 from where I was Friday morning.

Everything that goes in my mouth in full color.

You can also follow my random thoughts that on occasion touch on what I am eating and disturbingly when I am not making my regular trips to the restroom on Twitter.

Let's be careful out there.
