So here we are just about the end of the first week of my self improvement project. I wish I could write about little victories and triumphs of self that I have made, but alas I have not improved much. I did Zumba that one time so far. No reason why I didn't do it every day or every other. have started to establish a little better eating habits, not great yet as instead of eating junk I barely eat now but maybe two meals a day. I know that's not healthy obviously but other side of the coin overeating I have not done since I started. I ate a little too much here and there but that's more misportioning my food. I was able to buy groceries without succumbing to any crap. Although I did find ot that some food labels are deviously deceptive. Example I bought these Marie Calendar pot pies, front of the box says like 581 calories. I am like score still tasty and should fill me up. Turns out the box is a two portion meal! So eating one is a good 1,000 cals. admittedly I was taken aback by this, as I was happy I found smart alternatives yet still found a way to almost ruin it. I doubt I will be able to eat half of it if I cook it, because lets face it thing looks delicious its even got bacon for crying out loud. While I was looking at salad stuff since i do enjoy salad from time to time, but I am no rabbit. I glanced over and saw a pizza. Damn you Walmart for placing cheesy goodness by the produce. I am not going to lie I strolled over, my mouth watered slightly as I was looking at the goods. I saw it the moment I walked over, the six cheese stuffed crust goddess beckoning me to grab her in the worst way. It was as if it knew I was about done with my shopping and saw room in my cart for it. I picked up the box, thinking to myself it can't hurt to cheat this once right? I flipped over the box and read the cal. information and laughed. Since I knew how I was with pizza and knew I would never be able to just eat one slice (at least not yet! goals baby!) I counted the calories I would ingest if I bought the tasty treat. All totaled it was something around 3,000 calories. My eyes got big for a second, I laughed and put the box back saying nooooooooooo. I didn't think it would have been so bad but where you add all the cheeses both topping and crust it gets bad. So I celebrated that little victory as I walked to the checkout, with a little pep in my step for I knew that I had chosen smart options over greasy delicious bad ones. I admit I did cheat a little at checkout as I was so hungry from only having a bowl of cereal and banana all day, that I bought a candy bar while I waited and devoured it while I loaded my truck. It was so good but so bad, but not as bad as the pizza would have been so that's a small victory that I can plant my flag in.
On a side note I have been good with my lack of soda, as of writing this I am soda free!! I feel better I don't look any better but physically I feel better so that's a plus. It has been tough going sticking with water for the most part adding in some crystal light from time to time. But I have been good so far not a drop of the devils nectar has touched my sweet sweet lips. Haha another win for the week.
Oh on a note to the side of that one up there, I know too many notes right? Anyway I picked up Elysium while I was shopping and sweet damn was it a great flick. Neil Blomkamp is starting to to become my favorite director ever. With his first movie District 9 being so good, his follow up was superb. If you haven't seen it I for sure wont spoil anything but its good go see it. Rent it or buy it like I did either way experience it. I went in blind to a degree (I did see trailers a while back) and wow it's just good. Watch it!!!
So that's it for this week, small victories but nothing I would run down the street shouting. I have to think that building on these smaller victories will lead to greater success so we will see how it all pans out as the days continue to tick by.
Josh Out!
