It's the truth. You know you have had that feeling at least once in your lifetime. You either know what you want, or want what you can't have, or don't know what you want at all. This isn't a blog entry for me to spill out my deepest secrets of dating and how I sometimes end up wanting what I can't have later down the road, when I could have had it in the first place. (sigh) Nope. Not today. That's a whole other story.
This saying, "wanting what I can't have" is all about my week full of family festivities. It's been a challenging venture to say the least, for me personally. My friends, cousins, aunties and uncles flew in from Hawaii last week for my cousin's graduation from Seattle University of Law School. So, what happens when my family comes into town? Food happens. Fine dining happens. Desserts happen. Parties happen. And did you forget? I'm doing the Green Faces Diet. No drinking. No carbs. No sweets. Nadda. I struggled to keep my eyes open for those late night dinners and happy hours. I swallowed my tongue (not really, but I wanted to) when everyone else was eating mashed potatoes and rice crispy treats in front of me. Just imagine yourself sitting in Molly Moons Ice Cream Parlor and smelling those homemade waffle cones and not being able to eat it. (Try me.)
Since I've been on this 'Green Faces Diet' I've been craving the most random things. Here are my list of WANTS:
*Pop Tarts - (Brown Sugar)
*Coffee - (I'm not even an avid Coffee Drinker, yet I'm craving it)
*Peanut Butter & Jelly
*Cereal - (Any sugary kind)
*Cookies - (moms Homemade cookies)
*Apples - (With Almond Butter)
*Chocolate - (any kind)
*Chips - (Nacho Cheese Doritos)
*Cake - (Red Velvet or Ice Cream Cake - Cookies & Creme)
*Almond Butter
*Snickers
*Recess Peanut Butter Cups
I will only take partial responsibility for my bitchy attitude, my snappy comments and smart ass remarks at everything. I hope my family did not take any offense to my unknown behavior. I know I'm bossy, but I'm not normally a bitch. I was/am BOTH! I was/am carb-less and PMSING, which is now on Day 11. (Please bear with me if you are my friend, I promise this will pass.) At least things should get better. Starting next week, I can finally have one carb a day, and two carbs a day when I do strength training. Yay to sweet potatoes and apples. Oh, how I've missed you.
Besides the Bitch that I've become, it's not so bad. I'm on Day 19 and I'm feeling stronger and leaner. I'm looking forward to Week 4. I'll be doing my weigh in soon. Until then my friends, thanks for listening.
