4/30/2022: Day 6 of my Health Transformation

 Today I got to play golf! I love to get on the course, swing the sticks, and enjoy the serenity a golf course provides. Even if it is in Houston, TX! Preparing for today required some extra planning.

  • 07:15 - Shake (Have I mentioned how much I like these?)
  • 09:45 - Cheerios (Struggled to get these down dry)
  • 12:30 - Bar (easy eating!)
  • 03:30 - Mustard & Onion Straws (this is a pretty good snack)
  • 18:30 - Fish (for the first time on plan!) with vegetables
  • 21:30 - Shake
  • Drank over 150 ounces of water, 50 ounces of PowerAde, 1 Zevia, a couple pickle slices & nuts.
I was surprised at how much the heat took out of me today, and I was not properly prepared for that. As I get healthier and stronger, then this will go away. Just another part of my body adjusting. 

What I did prepare for was how to eat. Knowing I was going to be on the course meant I would need easy to eat food, which is why I chose the dry goods today. That was definitely the right call.

Today was also my first real temptation day.

The fundraiser had Chick-Fil-A for breakfast, snacks on the golf course, and BBQ for lunch. 

I avoided the dining room before and after so that I could limit my exposure to it. However, the BBQ smell hit me outside the door as I was walking by and I got immediate hunger pains. 

BUT!!!

I did not eat it!

I have to remain committed to doing the right thing!


Lesson I take away from Day 6
  • Definitely need to be conscientious with how much physical exertion a person puts in while in the fat-burning phase. The body is adjusting, so need to recognize that it takes time, and that is OK.
  • Walk away from temptations.
Things I encouraged myself with
  • I can do hard things! That is one of my why statements.

05/24/2022: My 4 Week Health Transformation Update

 A couple months ago I came to the realization that, not only was I not in good health, everything I was trying to do on my own was not work...
