Morning Weigh In: Down .8 lbs.

Ugh! I vow never to do another “apple day” again! The first time I went through that, it was a new experience and a bit tough, but worth it. This time, I literally had to choke those things down! Yuck! But, I’m down another .8 pounds which brings me to the goal of 16.2 pounds of loss. Hooray for that!

I can’t wait to eat my boring diet today! Yum! Yum! (hey, at least it’s not an apple right?) My cravings are high today. I think because I’m getting so close to being done with this program, I can almost taste the real food that will be heading my way again!

Lunch: 3oz crab, lettuce (make shift dressing), one breadstick and strawberries
Dinner: 3oz. lean steak, tomatoes, one breadstick and an orange

My water intake is still plaguing me and I find that I’m not as enthusiastic to keep re-filling my 32oz water bottle. I take it wherever I go. Even though I realize that it’s so very good for me, this water thing is starting to really get on my nerves! Ironically, I’m not craving soda but instead, just a little glass of orange juice in the morning? Or…heaven forbid…a beer at night! I can’t wait to be able to have options again.

If it’s one thing I’m grateful for, it’s the breaking away of sweets. I thought I might have my monthly cravings of chocolate or need to have a cookie now and then, but truly, I find no hardship in saying “no”. I’m looking forward to seeing that new habit stick.

You know what else I can’t wait for?... manicures! My hands and nails are so incredibly dry, I can hardly stand it! As I look at the calendar, I get more and more excited for the stabilization stage. After eating the same thing over and over again, it will be nice to actually see some variety.

Well, I’m just plugging along here. Same ole, same ole, but with some more positive results! Yea, me!
