No cheating!!

Yesterday was one of the very few days that I have not cheated on a diet and I'm so proud of myself. :) It was a struggle. I started getting headaches and started feeling hungry. Normally, my first instinct would be to grab a snack, but you can't eat anything extra on Medifast....just their 5 meals and 1 regular meal. I guess I am finally ready to change my life because it really didn't take too much will power from me and I wasn't craving food or anything. Six meals a day is perfect for me. I'm constantly 'eating'. The only drawback was that I had to get up TWICE in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. I NEVER do that. That's fine with me...lose all the water weight now. Since I'm a little crazy, I decided to weigh myself this morning, just to see and I lost over 3 pounds!!! I know that's not the norm, but not a bad start. I will from now on be weighing in every Monday morning before going to work so that I will be consistent. My mom took a picture of me yesterday and I will be posting it probably tonight, if I can locate the correct wires. Things are still in a little disarray at the house. I haven't had to much time to finish organizing things. Sunday is the day!! I will probably post pictures every time I have a visit with my surgeon and as those become fewer, at least every month.

One casualty this morning...I dropped my eggs in the garbage pail!! They cooked perfectly except for a little excess water and I went to pour it out and the eggs slid so quickly right out of my container with the water. It was hot, so I had trouble holding it. I'm not too happy, but luckily had an extra shake with me at work to drink in its place.

I'm passing on the gym this week so that my body can adjust to this new diet AND it's 100 degrees here. I'm also still sore from the weekend of swimming with the kids. No more excuses after this week. Right back to the gym for the last two weeks it is open. Then....I'm not sure.
