The Diet Diaries: Entry #4

So I have found through my one week of dieting, that the diet gets easier the longer you do it. Also, being determined to stick to it must help hahaha. My brother was eating some hostess, whipped air, disgusting yet delicious thing yesterday and although I desperately wanted a bite of it, I stuck to my guns and refused to take a bite. He even offered me a bite multiple times! I don't know about you all, but I am rather proud of myself!

Today I woke up at my dad's house, but my health powder was at my mom's house! Instead of giving into my hunger and cheating the diet, I waited until I was showered and dressed then went over to my mom's house to get breakfast. I am not supposed to have breakfast until I have had the powder, so I just combine breakfast and powder into one delicious and nutritious smoothie every morning. Before dinner I have the same thing, just in smaller proportions. The dinner smoothie is usually more power and less fruit than the breakfast smoothie.

I am just glad I can have chicken! If I had to cut out all meat from my life during these 3 weeks, I would go NUTS! I am not trying to say anything against vegetarians! I would love to be a vegetarian. In fact, I was a vegetarian for a while, but I didn't get enough nutrients that I needed so I actually was very depressed and just unhealthy for that time period. After just a few days of eating meat again, I was back to myself. I applaud people who have the will power and the ability to be a vegetarian! I wish I could be one of you, but I believe some people's bodies were meant to have meat and others can live without it.
I still try to avoid eating chicken though. I usually only have a little on a salad or on the side with dinner. Like the other night when me and my mom were making lima bean soup, we cooked up a bit of chicken sprinkled with a bit of garlic salt, and just dropped them into our soup! It was something we had never done before and it was delicious.

Until next time,
