Day 18

The good thing is, there is no more jambalaya to eat. The saga of the jambalaya in the house has come to an end (thankfully).

While I don't think it was the worst thing I could have been eating (no cream, no cheese), my ability to limit the amount I would eat at one time was severely diminished because it tasted so damn good. But, now it's over, and I can move on to salads and chicken dinners and soups.

So, yesterday was another up-and-down day.

The one small victory: I ran! ("I ran so far away...") Okay, no but really. I went for a very short run, but it was a run nevertheless. I was pretty breathless for most of it, but I did succeed in doing it. I will run again today when I get home from work. Hopefully it will go a bit easier.

I also signed up for NetFlix, and will try out a couple of different exercise DVD's. Not sure how that will go, but I'm going to give it a shot.

As for food, well, I started with a shake, then didn't eat anything until I had some jambalaya after the run. Then I ate three of the non-fat brownies. That wasn't good. I saw how quickly I could fall off of this, as they went down very easily. On the one hand, it's good that they were non-fat, but they tasted almost too good. And I should have had just one... But, like old times, I couldnt' stop myself. They were devoured before I could even realize what I was doing.

So, just the facts:
