Wow, 72 followers! I can't believe I am that interesting. Hello, everyone!
So today, I FINALLY put away all my clothes and everything that were still in their duffel bags from coming home. My floor is finally visible, and I can walk around without fear of tripping over a bag. I also tackled two bags full of old receipts and bank statements, and various odds and ends from my purses that all got thrown together. They have been sitting in a corner of my room for about six months, mocking me, and I finally got myself together to clear that all out. It felt so good to declutter, and it was an awesome way to avoid even thinking about food for a solid four hours. My room looks so much better now!
I also managed to refuse home-made bread and home-made warm apple-cranberry crumble with vanilla ice cream, all made by my roomie T. It wasn't all that difficult, either, which I was happy about. I legitimately didn't want any of it. I feel my control coming back stronger than ever. It's amazing! I would rather not eat than be thinking of the next thing I can eat all the time, and it feels so good. I feel so powerful when I am rocking the restricting. I am definitely going to make my goals.
Speaking of which, I set up mini goals for myself using Google calendar. I don't know why I didn't do this before, because just saying that I want to lose 20-25 lbs. sounds like a lot, but when broken down into easily attainable weekly goals (4 lbs. one week, 3 lbs. the next, etc.) it makes it seem much easier.
Tomorrow is another one of my friends birthdays, and she wants to go to a Japanese restaurant. I suppose if I had to go out to eat anywhere, Japanese would be the best. Sushi is really healthy, and I get the sashimi, which is a piece of fish draped over a small pat of rice, so it is less calories per piece than a sushi roll. I looked up calorie counts of sashimi, and most are around 40-50 calories a piece, so if I get a sashimi appetizer for my meal, I should be pretty good calorie-wise. Usually the appetizer size has about 7-8 pieces of sashimi on it. And the wasabi will amp up my metabolism, with how hot it is! All in all, not too horrible, and I will make sure to keep everything else I eat tomorrow really low-cal and small to make up for it.
Well, I am off to bed for my beauty sleep!
Love you, Skinnies!
