Day 7 - No Movement

Another day at 279.  I know I couldn't keep losing a pound a day.  At least it's not going up.

Today I was back in the office.  I have/had a habit of buying a big gulp big boy Mt Dew every morning and since I started this little experiment I've withheld from indulging in this habit.  I got close this morning, but reminded myself "#DBAFF!".  Then I drank a bunch of water and restrained.  Sounds stupid.. maybe sounds easy for most to just walk away and continue on the day, but it took me a long moment to make that choice.  I had just finished some stuff at work, was relieved and wanted to celebrate with my favorite fat guy habit - a big ass pop and maybe a breakfast sandwich or bagel with cream cheese.  But, I knew where that would lead.  I'd say screw it, it's not so bad being fat and go back to "normal".  It kinda sucks a lot being fat so I walked away.  If I just make a few of these choices every day I'll end up reaching a much bigger goal.  I don't have to totally deprive myself, I still had a 20oz Dew when I got home, but that was the only one for the day.  Eventually I'll have to kick that habit too and maybe make it a once a week thing.  But, as I said before, baby steps.

So, today's meals:
Breakfast:  Oatmeal with honey
Lunch:  Salad with grilled chicken, hardboiled egg, and lots of veggies
Snack: Small hand full of pistachios, a single Oreo, homemade popcorn, and a Mt Dew
Dinner:  One medium bowl of homemade chicken noodle soup with two and a half rolls

Exercise:

Seven days down.
