Day 10

I was down a little bit yesterday because I didnt lose any weight. But I still kept my head high and knew that I will have many of those days to come. I followed through on my commitment and worked out to the TurboFire 45 class and I counted my calories. I did cheat at the end of the day with a half glazed donut and a small sip of soda. All in all today is day 4 with no soda and I am still handeling my self control. 

Today I stepped on the scale to weigh 2 pounds less. I weighed in at 204.6. I feel amazing. When I look at the scale I dont even care what the number is. All that matters is that it was less then yesterday. I have to say that I am less tired in the day. I dont get that afternoon sleepiness that I typically get. I have not had a nap all week and havent really needed to. I also noticed that I wake up awake and not tired. Usually when I wake up its because my kids are up and my eyes burn and I feel so sleepy. Now I wake up and the kids are still sleeping. I think I have a little more energy but if I do it is minimal.

I am just so proud of myself for learning how to exercise self control, and for respecting my body and what I put in it. I have a cheat day in 2 days and it is bittersweet because I know I need to have it so I dont go stir crazy but I dont want to overdue it because I have worked so hard to get here to even risk loosing a fraction of it. 

Until tomorrow :)
