Today is it. I have procrastinated long enough, today I start my journey to lose 100 lbs in 100 days. I am going to try everything I can to succeed and hopefully along the way I will discover new truths about myself, food, weight loss and exercise.
Morning coffee is a ritual for me. I open two packets of splenda, add my coffee, and then I add a little heavy cream. I hold my coffee cup and just take in the warmth, the smell, the comfort of coffee. It eases my stress before my stress even begins. It centers me, calms me, revitalizes me. Without that cup of sweet goodness I don't know how to start my day.
I have been to see a dietitian and I know that leaving out the sweet goodness of the heavy cream saves me thousands of calories a week, but can I do it is the question. I have resolved for this 100 days to take it easy on the dairy products I consume and that much cream is not a good things. I also am trying real hard to eat "real" food instead of processed garbage. Splenda is just that processed garbage I don't need. Since I am then left with just black coffee or some coffee with maple syrup or honey in it I am kinda left with out the satisfaction. The cream is really my vice. I love the coffee with maple syrup or honey... I just need my splash of cream. I almost folded this morning and went ahead and had my sweet cup of coffee, but the splenda is packed away in the camping stuff and I am not the desperate... yet. So cheers to a morning without coffee, may my water hold my off until I come home with some herbal tea to start the morning.
This mornings weigh in 243.4 (after a weekend of camping)
