Pizza Pizza

Hey everyone,

Haven't blogged in days so let me catch you up to what has been going on. Monday and Tuesday I tried low carb days. Not too bad. Monday, I did my TurboKick workout. I did have fried shrimp Tuesday night, but that was after I had a GREAT 'workout' at House Dance class!! I remember when I used to dance for 4 hours straight at the Paradox! I think with some Red Bull I could do 2 hours straight....LOL. But the one hour was enough for me after being at work all day! I truly enjoyed it.

I looked at some pictures from college and I don't remember exercising that much but I was pretty toned. THEN I realized that it was all due to being a club head and a party goer. Thursday, Friday and Saturday I was at someone's party or club and to think, I danced for up to 5 hours (Paradox stayed open late) so the calorie intake and burn was NEVER a problem.

So after two days for low carb, the cravings kicked in. I read in Self Magazine that you can have carbs after a couple of low carb days. It's actually supposed to 'help' because you are fooling your insulin levels or something of another. We'll I acted like a fool yesterday. I ate a slice of pizza yesterday afternoon (I bought two, but was full and gave the other to a homeless man who had a sign he was hungry. I loved seeing that half-toothed, yet full smile when I gave it to him). Anyway, I thought, " You did good Janice" since I only had one.

On the way home, I wanted it again and Little Caesars was the pizza joint of choice. Mind you, I hadn't had pizza since about January or February so it had been a while. So I thought I would get a salad and eat two slices. Is that cool? Well I did that. But there were two really little slices which could possibly count for one and I ate that too (you love my rationale). So yesterday I had FOUR slices of pizza. Needless to say, I can wait again, but that satisfaction was way overdue.

As far as my progress, my face appears smaller and my dress pants have a little more room. I refuse to get on the scale. I am afraid of it, especially since I am lifting weights now. So I decided, if I can avoid the temptation of the platinum slate (my scale), I am doing something for BBN called "The Great Reveal"! I will take a picture this evening of what I look like now. On my birthday, which is August 13th, 7 weeks from today, I will reveal my progress. Why am I doing this? I am holding myself accountable. In my head, I am like, "I have PLENTY of time for BBN... its not until NOVEMBER!!" (again, that rational-emotive behavior) After that time I will announce other 'reveals' of my progress.

Wish me luck! If it works, cool; if not, back to the drawing board with 3 months after that to get it together.

Until next time, Jai-Nation Citizens... *Deuces*
