Day Thirteen

Today, I did very good!! I drank a ton of water and though I did eat some wasabi peas, but I cut back in a major way. Mainly because I had to, my tongue is in quite a bit of pain. I have to let it heal itself, which I know it will do quickly if I just lay off the sauce!

I had a banana for breakfast and then I had some mean green for lunch. I just weighed in on the Wii and it says I'm still 144. That's cool, considering I've been kind of cheating lately and have had so many wasabi peas. My little reward time is over. This is the halfway mark, and I really want to see some progress again. It's funny, while I would really really like something to eat, it's not a cheeseburger anymore. If I do want something to eat, it's veggie sushi. I don't have a desire for fatty things as much anymore. I think if I were to want something like that, it would only be a small bite but it's starting to not look very appealing.

I don't mind not eating and I crave the veggies. I'm going to try to stay away from the wasabi peas for a few days and stick to fruits and veggies. I really don't mind anymore, I think I can do it. I've been good today, so I'll be interested in tomorrow's weigh in. I'll let you know what happens. :)

I had a pretty productive day. I got some writing done and some letters done that I've been meaning to send, and I even filled out the warranty card for my juicer! I finally got some housework done. Looking around the house is the thing that has made me realize how difficult this has been because I really let the house go. The laundry was piling up, the kitchen counters were getting gross and I haven't swept in a while. It felt good to look around after I was done.

I know I said I was going to go into detail about why I decided to do this diet, but I don't know if I'm ready to share that with the world yet. I've told some of my closer friends, but it's a pretty personal thing to share on a blog for any Tom, Dick, or Joe to see, but I will know when I'm ready and it will be something that will wind up on here eventually. Hang tight, amigos. It will be worth the wait.
