Survived Day 1

If this blog helps one person to carry on one more day with their weight loss journey, it's worth it!

How is it that you're never hungrier than when you are paying attention to what you eat? I spent most of yesterday thinking about food, about eating, about being hungry. I know it's mostly in my mind but it's like I'm trying to trip myself up! I would have seriously maimed someone yesterday for a chocolate cupcake. I really think that the thought of having to write it down in my food journal ON THE FIRST DAY was the motivating factor to not give in. My supper was very reasonable and I did make it to the gym last night. I was about to give up on the dreadmill after about 17 minutes but thought, "oh at least 20." Then "oh, you made it to 20-how about 30?" Eventually I made it the whole 6o minutes (including 8-10 one minutes sprints!)!!!! I was pretty thrilled with that--but even happier when I got home, pack my lunch for today and the only thing that passed my lips was water!! That was a really worrisome issue for me; when I get home from the gym I'm normally starving. My healthy little snack of string cheese and water becomes string cheese, doritos and some chocolate. And some water. :) But not last night!!! woohoo!!!!

I have decided that weigh ins will be on Monday and Thursday mornings. So, come on Thursday! I think I'm ready for you!
