Day 5

September 6th, 2009 by Kramday

Busy day yesterday, so the write-up is later than I had originally intended.

Woke up today with a seriously stiff neck after volleyball last night. I think tweaked it on the last dive last night. It is a good thing I was already planning on taking today off from exercise. On the eating front, I was a little nervous about today. I was watching the OSU game with Jeffrey and then heading to a birthday party at the Kludys. The football game meant wings, and the birthday party meant cake and possibly other sweets. Other than the cake at the end of night, I didn’t think I did too bad. Not great by any stretch, but it could have been worse I think. I mainly tried to snack on fruit and veggies. But did succumb to an extra slice of cake (or two) at the end of night. Also, I should have eaten a larger snack at 5pm, because when I got to the Kludys I was really hungry.

Here are the goals for the fifth day:

1. Drink More Water.
2. Begin Journaling Your Water Consumption.
3. For the Next 16 Days, Avoid Alcohol.
4. Keep Away from the Scale for the rest of the 21 Days.
5. Listen to the Day 5 Audio Program.
6. Choose only Healthy Breads and Sweets.

And here are the results:

1. I definitely could/should have drank more water yesterday, though I did get to 64 oz.

2. I had two 16 oz. bottles at Jeff’s, a large glass at the Kludys, and a 16 oz. bottle when I got home. I should have had a second glass at the Kludys at a minimum.

3. What?!?! Just kidding. I’m actually on a new medication that says no alcohol anyway, so this isn’t a big deal.

4. I’ll have to give some serious thought to this. Back in 2007 when I was doing well with my weight loss, regular visits to the scale were a BIG motivating factor for me. Also, when I don’t get on the scale regularly, the weight just creeps on.

5. I had planned on listening to the program on the drive out to the party. But since I stayed later at Jeff’s, I didn’t have it with me. I’ll listen to Days 5 and 6 today.

6. I’m totally sure that cake was fat free, with 100% whole wheat flour and soy milk and margarine. Or not. I knew it was going to be a tricky day before it started.
