I no longer crave carbs... I am over the hump!

My latest update is actually quite monumental. I have stopped craving carbs. Just straight up stopped. The protein is now satiating and satisfying me. I am happy. I am drinking water. I am not getting headaches and I am looking less beachball like. Weight loss to date? 5.5 lbs! And I will continue to live in my little world of delusion and claim it is not all water weight. Yesterday was pretty decent for eating. As Er mentioned in her post, we had a chicken and broccoli extravaganza for dinner last night and it was magnificent.

After dinner, I went to the ball game and was SOOO tempted. I caved a bit and got some dipping dots but did not drink any alcohol (ice cream can be ok in small doses and on rare occasions yes?). NO??? Shut up. If I say it is, then it is. I am justifying this with the walking that went down last night. We walked from Pioneer Square, to the International District, to the stadium and back which I surmise in total to be about 1.5 miles of walking. This morning I also got up and did 20 minutes on the Wii Fit before I went to work. Woot! Today's menu consisted of a latte, soup and salad for lunch and assorted nuts as a snack. I may have also had a tiny bit of chocolate but I think I will be ok. I am planning to have a light dinner (lean cuisine) and a lot more water. All in all, I did pretty darn good and I feel FANTASTIC. At this point in the blog you should not only be impressed and loving my dedication, you should also feel an irrational urge to lick me in startled delight of my awesomeness. Just FYI.

I lick you! I slobber on you. I am actually doing some cross continental drooling as we speak. Do you dig it? Well, do you.

I am jealous of your chicken and broccoli extravaganza. I feel left out and sad about this. I will tell you what - when we all hit our goal weights, I'll come out for a cheese & Zombie party!!

Also, I think dipping dots and a little chocolate are fine in moderation, if you can do it. Personally, moderation is not a word that I understand or practice, so I just don't touch the stuff. But if you are don't have a vacuum hose for a mouth, by all means, inclulge in small amounts.

By the way, for someone of your height, a 5.5 pound weight loss is regoddamndiculous.

Also. Is the weird Chinese building supposed to be metaphoric for the chicken and broccoli meal?

HAHAHAH! I love the picture of the Chinese Gate. Liz, I believe it is meant to be representative of both our Chinese meal, as well as reference to a newly constructed gate built in the International district that whose beauty struck Maryleen on our walk from Pioneer Square to the I-district.

Wow, the word verification code this time looks like Cyrillic or something....

Nu Nu & Lizzers: Oh yes, Lizzers will need to come out for a cheese & Zombie party when the goal weights are all achieved. And this is at the very least. I have some other ideas as well.

I only was on the first two legs of that walk with you, and I will have you know my legs were tired. The fact that you only had some dipping dots AND NO BEER??? Wow - that must have been hard, especially when accompanied by someone else who WAS drinking a lot of beer (or so I assume).

These facts in conjunction with your enormous weight loss speak to the fact that you are doing great.

I am inspired with your menu from Friday and your ballgame restraint. i love it!!!!!!!!!!

AND! I am so happy that you have been exercising. I had such an awesome time with you on Thursday with our walk and dinner! We will need to do it again. I like the combination of walking FOR food that is yummy.
