Just Not Feelin It...

I don't know what is with me. Strangely, ever since I've started this low carb change, my appetite has decreased significantly... which I cannot say that I am at all complaining about it. I'm still in my induction phase which I planned to do for 2 weeks. I'm actually okay and content on how I'm eating, that I may continue with it for a week longer and then progress with adding a little more to it like sunflower seeds and etc.

I actually have planned a few cheat days for the month of June so I am trying to be as good as possible, while I am able. This coming Sunday, I have lunch plans with an old friend to go to this new Taste of India restaurant, though I'm sure I could find a way to eat low carb, I want to go and eat the white rice that is available. I know there's a significant amount of Carbs in Rice, but it's only 1 day for 1 meal. I plan to eat in moderation. Sadly, I am very excited to go eat, but also to spend time with my friend. She is one of the best people I know in life! I'm looking forward to it!

Then, on June 15th, I am hosting a purse party with all my girlfriends. That is also a cheat day because of the alcohol consumption- and one thing I'm good at making is jello shots, and strawberry margaritas! So I plan to have a couple of those.

and lastly, June 24th will be a cheat day because it is my niece's baptism, and there will be tons of food for the party afterward here at the house. Some foods that I know I won't be able to pass up.

In such an odd way, I'm very content. However, I am just not into working out. Normally that's my savior and outlet, but here lately I just can't get my butt going. That's what happens though, you slack too many days too long, and trying to push yourself to go is a struggle. I hate that I have no motivation to go because after the first 3 days of pushing yourself, you start feeling guilty when you don't go because you feel so good when it's done. I have to get back on track with that immediately! When I don't go, it's almost like I can feel myself getting weaker.

I am so close to my 5 percent goal. I'm eating what feels best for me and keeps me feeling full, I'm not exactly counting for exact carbs, sometimes I'm sure it's less, and other days, I know I have to be over, but it even's itself out in a way. If I lost another 5 pounds this week, I'd be thrilled, but I have to get on the move with this exercising!!
