It's GO TIME!

Figure Training Begins.

I met with my new boss (aka trainer), Big Jon, last Wednesday then immediately went to USwirl and spent $20 on ice cream frozen yogurt (there IS a difference when you have been deprived for months). -------------F.

The reason I did this, lo and behold, is because my body was too accustomed to eating clean.  WHAT?!? I didn't realize that could happen!  My task until Sunday has been to "dirty it up" a bit.  The boss' orders.  By always eating clean, my body was used to breaking down and metabolizing all that clean food.  If I didn't throw it off for a short bit, then it won't respond well to this week's nutrition plan.  So I have been doing just that. 

At first I thought it would be AH.MAZING! But no. Mac 'n Cheese out of a box is disgusting.  So are frozen burritos (my lunch on Friday).  Little Caesar's pizza does NOT taste as good as I remember it did in high school - more like cardboard with cheese and a tiny bit of sauce.  Neither do nacho cheese Doritos.  WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME!!!  I tried to indulge is some of my go-to favorites and they felt like a waste of mouthspace!  The one thing that did it for me... cooked to order cheeseburger with grilled onions, homemade french fries, onion rings with fry sauce and a Butterfingers milkshake.  Oh yeah baby.  Go big or go home.  Only I couldn't finish the fries... or the onion rings... and ended up sharing the milkshake with the babies because it was too much. -------------F.

I wanted to eat bad.  I really, really did.  Why don't things taste the same?!?  I only loved the greasy, salty indulgences... to a point.  But, they were still "real" foods.  I can see the potato with skin on the ends.  I can see the lines in the onion.  I could not see anything but a compressed chemistry experiment in my Doritos and Mac 'n cheese.  Maybe that's what I have to do - when and IF I get a cheat meal.  Stick with real, dirty food and avoid the fake, dirty food.  I am surprised to say that after my "dirty" behavior (Mr. Grey was not featured... this time), I am no more or no less than where I started. 138#.  ------------------F, well not quite.

This morning I begin my new diet.  Its not too different from what I have been eating, sans the past three days.  That means no more dirties unless its in the bedroom, but that's an a whole other blog post - or maybe a new blog entirely! (Let call that one "Sexual Intervention")  I meet with my trainer on Tuesday for measurements, pictures and a royal a$$-kickin'.  Looking forward to it!  I will have to post.  Hold your breath!
