Day 7- I Suck at this Game
I had hoped things would be going swell in this little venture by now- I’d be enjoying meatless breakfasts, lunch on brussels sprouts, snack on carrots…Not happening. Tonight, I really wanted a certain sandwich I mentioned previously. Not just one, but two. So, today’s food log:
- Breakfast- Cold pizza, meat picked off (1 piece), water
- Lunch- Diet Dr. Pepper. I had crazy heartburn, and didn’t want to eat, so I soda’d it up and took an antacid with a glass of water
- Dinner- Two Chicken With No Name sandwiches (with lettuce at least, I never do lettuce on a sandwich.) One could perhaps argue it was just one large sandwich, since they come on one folded pita round, but eh. It was two. And they were mind bogglingly delicious
- Dessert- Soy milk/ice cream shake. And now I feel so sick. It was good, and my first one this week (taking a break from soy every few days), so not having another until…who knows.
So, I am really struggling with my decision. It’s definitely easier for me to make meaty meals, or to just grab a burger or some chicken while out. I knew this would be difficult, but whoa, it’s starting to feel insurmountable. But progress, not perfection I suppose. I keep wondering if I’ll keep it up after August, or if I’ll even make it to the end. I do think that eating more fruits and vegetables (as previously mentioned) will be a good end product of this, and instead of beating myself up over supposed failure, I’ll just be glad that I tried my best and learned some new things. And I hope I do so much better tomorrow
