2nd Day on the Wagon

I am dreaming and craving and salivating for a nice medium cooked rib eye steak, loaded baked potato and MAYBE corn on the cob with butter and sprinkled w/ sugar. :o) Uh huh... I'm a fat girl. lol.

It is just under 48 hours since I have been a vegetarian and with the exception of that last thought, I’m doing pretty good. Last night I planned out all of my meals for today and it seemed to do me well. I decide what times I felt I should be eating, decided what I had a taste for and filled in the blanks from there. Although this is only Day 2, I am feeling QUITE confident.

The only issue I can for see coming this week is temptation. **AS IF THAT WASN'T OBIVOUS**

My boyfriend, Andrew is also getting on this healthy bandwagon with me. He is eating more times a day to help boost his metabolism and making better food choices as well. (Correction: I am making better food choices for him.)  But it's a team effort. I plan the meals and he plans the work outs.

But back to that temptation I was talking about... Andrew is allergic to a lot of different fruits and veggies, so there is NO WAY he would be able to do this diet with me. So I just end up making boneless skinless chicken breast and broccoli. Now I am sure you can imagine the OVERWHELMING temptation that tries to take over me when I am making his meals. I mean when you heat the EVOO in that pan and sear the garlic, add the chicken breast and smell the seasonings as they seep in to the meat.....Watch the clear juices flow down in to the pan and the aroma come up and surround you...............

And all the while I get to munch on a nice, crunch stalk of celery. Yeah...it's like that. lol. But again I remember how I got here and why I am doing this and only sneak a small 1 inch bite of his chicken. :o)
