Water weight continues to go down!!! Everything has been going as planned. For the past few days I was on the high protein/no carb/healthy fat plan(pretty much all fish), today my oatmeal tasted like heaven! Having no carbs those days felt kind of good, I didn't feel so heavy. I work Sat-Mon 4am-3pm on my feet the entire time. Today I'm trying to get everything in order so that when I get off work, I can hit the gym, hit the books, and hit the bed. I hate my schedule, I hate getting up at 3am! Most of all when on this schedule, my gym is not yet opened for me to get in fasted cardio, and I don't feel safe running on the streets here at 2am. The hardest part is getting my butt to bed early on Friday, like 6pm is what I shoot for, but most of the time I don't fall asleep until 10pm. Thank goodness I only work 3 days out of the week. The days I don't feel like studying, I ask myself if I would rather be working, but the real answer is, I rather be cooking or at the gym :) If you must know, I work at a wal-mart grocery distribution center, so yeah, I have to look at food ALL 11 hrs! Its the sugary cereals and peanut butter that make me want to drool all over myself. Only reason I work there, the pay is good and it works with my school schedule...all the more reason to make good grades and graduate asap! So today I tried a new, yummy chicken marinade I found here http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Pretty-Chicken-Marinade/Detail.aspx. I try to watch my sodium, so I used very little of the soy sauce. I grilled the chicken on my fabulous williams-sonoma indoor grill and the chicken turned out better than expected. I'm always trying out new marinade recipes, I have to keep the chicken interesting, I know all of you can relate. Also I cooked two lean-turkey loafs, once again low-no sodium. I will keep one for the week and freeze the other one for later use. My house hasn't smelled this good in so long. I am so welcoming the flavor back into my diet, too bad not for long. I still need to eat, get in my back workout, tan, and study more. Have a great Friday and enjoy your weekend!
