So Days 2 and 3 of this green smoothie business, I made it without "cheating." For some reason Wednesday (day 3) was sooooo easy for me! I just did it. Come Thursday (Day 4) all I could think about was food. I just wanted to eat something. All day I was arguing with myself whether to eat or not eat something. I had my smoothie for breakfast and one for lunch and come dinner time I couldn't take it anymore.... I had to have something that I could chew on! So I opted for a small salad that had romaine lettuce, a veggie burger, and about 1 tsp of balsamic vinegar salad dressing. So, although, I didn't have a smoothie, I'm still satisfied because I made a healthy choice.
I would have to say that this experience has taught me a lot about myself. I really can do anything that I set my mind to (I know, cliche). This was REALLY hard for me. But I did (most of) it. It was a struggle, but for a purpose. I also trained my mind to focus on what I am eating. I will now actually think about what I am grabbing to eat versus grabbing the first thing I see, sounds good, or is easy. Before, I would just think about what I wanted to eat and go ahead and eat it. Now I know to think about what I am putting into my body and to choose meals/food wisely. If I could only get my motivation to work out in check! LOL. I'm 8 lbs lighter and I find that's a great accomplishment! I plan on eating healthy and working out to reach my goal of losing 40 more lbs by the end of the summer.
