I'm not posting my weight loss today because my weigh-in days are actually Wednesday, so...you'll just have to wait for the results!But there are some things I wanted to say about Week #2.
It was easier. Except for Saturday when I wanted to eat my arm--what was THAT about?
Saying no to things really wasn't as hard as I expected. I didn't even feel sorry for myself.
I am sleeping so much better. Like a rock really. I used to lay in bed for hours just fretting about the most ridiculous things. But now I'm so tired when I go to bed, I actually sleep!
It used to be a vicious cycle. I'd be tired around 7:00 in the evening, but I would wait eagerly for Dan to take the kids up to bed (yes, he puts them to bed EVERY night without complaining--at least with his words.) and I would open every cupboard door in the kitchen...and the refrigerator and the freezer doors!...and load up on as many treats as my little...ahem, large...arms could carry. By 10:00 I would be WIDE awake. I wonder why? I wonder why I would have irrational thoughts for the next three hours or more? Maybe it was my staple evening diet of cereal, ice cream, pretzels, cheese, pop tarts, more ice cream, chips, crackers, decaf diet coke (must be diet, right?!), tortilla chips and salsa--throw in some sour cream and guacamole, too!--and leftover dessert from dinner. I would consume more than half my calories in a day after 7pm.
Let's review a day in my life this week:
9:00 am: Dutch Chocolate Shake
11:00 am: Peanut Butter Chocolate Crunch Bar
1:30pm: Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal
3:30 pm: Banana Shake
5:30 pm: Lemon Ginger Chicken and a Garden Salad
8:00 pm: Mint Chocolate Soft Serve
10:00 pm: Out like a light!
Life is good. I am satisfied and happy and experiencing so many changes already. Again, if someone would have told me I could do this, I would have been like, "You're crazy! I'm a freakin' food addict!!!" But...I am doing it. And I actually love it.
