Today has been a bit rough. Not sure why but I've had a slight
headache all morning. I've also had this nagging hunger. It's not the
gnawing hunger that propels you to the nearest source of food but more
of a subconscious feeling that makes you acutely aware of any fast
food restaurant you pass.
I have included this picture so you guys will know that I'm not starving myself. A delicious chipotle chicken salad with celery, tomatoes, and mustard balsamic dressing. This salad was amazingly filling and I took one bite of that apple and had to put it in the fridge for later.
I have had a few people ask me why I don't just work out or do cardio to lose weight. I usually reply with one of the below answers.
1. I don't work out because I want to see exactly how well this diet does without any type of exercising.
2. I typically get much hungrier when i work out and I don't think believe that dieting works well with trying to build muscle as you are depriving your muscles of the fuel they need to grow and repair themselves.
3. Sometimes I do just exercise to lose weight. And it works to an extent. I did 45 days of the P90 and actually didn't lose any weight. I did manage to add 1/2 inch to my chest and biceps which was nice but at this point I need to lose weight drastically to help my joints to be happy again.
4. I'm lazy what can I say. ;) I do plan on resuming some sort of running/light weight lifting regiment once I am off the diet though just for my normal fitness needs.
