Let those who worship evil's might, Beware my power, Green Lantern's light!
I have changed my whole eating habits in the last 2 weeks. I have tried and have been successful with cutting out sugar, flour, rice and a lot of fat foods. It is/has not been easy. In fact it has been one of the hardest things I have had to do. Instead of dreaming about women I am now dreaming about food (beautiful glorious food!!!!)
I have not completely cut them out as I am now trying to adapt to the new changes. I have in the past 2 weeks had about 1-2 servings of potato, rice and sugar but that is a far cry from previous where I would have them all in a few days. The worst thing is, seeing food, hearing food, writing food (right now, as I write this, my tummy is beginning to growl) and wanting to consume everything in sight.
I really felt the difference in my workout. I usually do the Cross-Trainer for an hour, but yesterday, I could only do 45 minutes. Mind you, today I was back up to an hour but that was just because I was chatting with someone for the last 20 minutes. When I stepped off the machine, my legs wobbled. And I did not really do any weights after the cardio. I usually do about 45 minutes of weights
It is not all bad, I am actually enjoying raw veggies without any dressing on them. It is unbelievable how sweet peppers and onions are when you have cut out sugar from your diet. I have started to include apples (Granny Smith- It seems I am allergic to most apples except apple Grannies) I have also discovered Strawberries! I do cheat a little bit with the strawberries because I sprinkle some Stevia natural sweetener on them.
I have also cut out most meat from my diet. Actually I have cut out all meat this week. I have been eating a lot of tofu (which I love) and I have found a few tofu products that are excellent chicken and beef substitutes.
However, I did have a momentary lapse of will-power, hence the title of this entry. As you all know Green Lantern all had strong will-power to make the ring do the wielder's bidding. Well I found that I just don't have that will-power. Green Lantern, I'm not.
(ya ever notice that my entries tend to swing precariously from the minuscule and mundane to the metaphysically bizarre...usually in one entry alone??)
