New diet

So.... I allowed myself a weekend of going nuts and indulged in everything I'm not going to be allowed to eat for the next month. I have to say that my knee is now in pain but I'm not experiencing a lot of cravings yet. Of course I did have several chocolate chip granola bars, cream cheese on my bagel, and a chocolate milk. I was craving the milk but everything else was either to get rid of it in my house or eating out of boredom.

Hopefully once the rest of the stuff on the no-no list is gone I will be able to power through any cravings may have. So far the only stuff left is coffee (not a big deal to stay away from), cream cheese, and granola bars. The granola bars aren't my favourite so I don't think I'll be eating too many of those and there is less than half a container of cream cheese left so that shouldn't be too bad either. My hubby is all for this as I think he hopes it will go a long way to helping me lose the stubborn baby weight. I'm also going to try to pick a half hour of cardio most days as well. 

It's funny that I feel more will power to resist the bad food now that a doctor has told me it could be causing me problems with my knee, but my own weight loss desire wasn't enough. Hopefully this new mindset will power me through and stick in the long term. Especially if it does make my knee better.
