Day 3-5
And so our story begins, where Thao finds herself in quite the social dilemma:
So this weekend was definitely a giant test of will power. I'd been doing well on my first few days, but I had to integrate my super fun lifestyle to my new walk of life. You guys totally thought I cheated didn't you? Because if you didn't, I did.
Friday
Friday night was girls night. Marissa was coming home from Philly for the weekend. We decided to have movie and Chinese night at Nikki's. I recently bought Bridesmaids so it was perfect. I ended up getting a GIANT Greek salad from a diner I live near, so I wouldn't be tempted. Low and behold--I wasn't! ::sigh of relief::
Saturday
Talk about a packed agenda! I previously made a commitment to attend a birthday/retirement party for my college advisor. I was a little nervous because there was going to be a lot of food and drinks and bad bad things I shouldn't eat lol. I had half a shake before I left and was feeling pretty great. I only stayed for an hour, but I did eat my allotted amount of protein and a big salad. Then it was off to FIGHT NIGHT!
UFC 135, Bones vs Rampage
Highlight of my weekend! I drove up to Ithaca after the party to meet with friend's and watch the fight. There wasn't any food there, but there was booze and plenty of it. I did have a few sips of vodka and pink lemonade. It was enough to satisfy my urge to party, and I'm glad I stopped myself. JON JONES WON! AND SO DID I!
Sunday
Today was football date at Tully's, ohhh Tully's. I ordered a giant salad with grilled chicken. Ranch dressing on the side (which I only used about 1/4 of) and ate most of it. Their food legit, comes in such large portions it kind of makes me sick! I mean NO ONE can really eat that much, can they?! Scratch that, I know people can eat that much--because I watched them all around me today.
THANK GOD FOR GOOD FRIENDS
This has been such a challenge for me, it really means a lot to have the support of my friends. I spend a lot of time with them, and it makes me feel so good that they're motivating me and keeping me on track. I've slowly began the process of letting it leak out I'm on this diet, could you imagine if I didn't!? They'd all think I was a CRACK ADDICT and that's how I lost the weight! LOL SOOOOO...thank you to all my friends, I love you guys.
WHOA, WHOA, WHOA! What about family support? Of course my family supports me, because if they didn't--my sister Hien would BEAT them into submission! Hee hee.
I am such a lucky girl to have friends and family
near and far support me,
motivate me, and inspire me to live my life.
OH! And no hunger yet, honest!
Thanks sooooo much Tressa! You have no idea how much I appreciate your support! Thanks for all of your tips and taking the time out to talk to me about this! :) xoxo
