I'll Have a Medium Hot Water, Please

I'd love to say it's getting easier to eat so few foods (none of which are cake and ice cream) but that wouldn't be entirely true...yet. I crave for more variety and long to just have a bite of something not doused in balsamic vinegar or pepper for flavor. On the other hand, I'm a long way away from the meltdown of last weekend, more resigned to a new reality. After all, I did apply twice for Survivor in which case I'd be eating even less! They would probably die for a 4 oz. piece of chicken. Once results become more evident I think training for a Figure competition will get easier. I fit into a pair of pants for the first time in almost four years (had two babies in the last three) which was exciting, so I can imagine results are a powerful incentive.

Another challenge lies ahead this weekend as we take the kids camping for the first time with friends. As they eat hot dogs and potato salad and make Dunkin Donut runs, I'll be carrying along my oatmeal ordering hot water to mix with it rather than a medium chai tea and blueberry cake donut. I'll be doing so, however, in a pair of pants I was afraid would never again fit after having two babies back to back...some consolation at least.
