Can I go without cheat meals for TWO WEEKS?! The Two Week Challenge.

Goodbye, dear cupcake...
So my nutritionist is putting me on a revised meal plan with foods I selected (in portions and combinations that he selected). And I have to stick with it for two weeks, without any cheat days. Why? There's that last 5-8 pounds I could lose. But it's more about me realizing that going two weeks without cheating won't be the end of the world. It's about me developing some mental discipline when it comes to food. For me to be in control of my food, instead of my food being in control of me.

I'm an eater. I love eating. I've always been fairly thin, but most of my family is not. I want to learn to be a healthy eater, to learn portion control, and to put the right kind of fuel in my body so it can do the things I want it to do!

So for two weeks, I'm going to try to stick to the plan. I'm going to put my weekly resolutions on pause and work on sticking to my plan every day for two weeks and see what happens. I'm going to try to blog daily about it, to keep myself accountable (not that my BFF won't rat on me, or that I won't tattle on myself anyway)!

Wish me luck.

Hi Ashley! I just posted today about the stuff I will be eating on my plan! :) Bananas, PB, protein powder, Laughing Cow light cheese, Reduced Fat Wheat Thins, Tuna, whole wheat tortillas, apples, Morningstar Farms tofu, and veggies/salad.

I personally like the shakes because they help keep me full. I do like salad, but I like broccoli slaw and carrot slaw better--they have more substance.

Thanks, Molly! I'm feeling pretty determined at the moment :P I'm hoping my stubbornness will carry me through these 2 weeks.
