Feeling Good About This

The first day that I decided to make this change was a complete disaster. Although I did pretty good with my calorie intake, I felt like I was starving all day long and it was making me really moody. The second day was a lot better but at the end of the night, Justice and I decided to get drunk so those 6 shots of rum really screwed me over but I'm still taking in less calories than I had been before this so it's still progress. It was just a tiny celebration of our decision to make a change for the better. I had fun.

Although today I woke up with a headache and wanted to skip breakfast, I didn't. I ate and I dealt with my headache enough to take our daily walk. I took a nap when Carter did hoping that my headache would be gone and thank God, it was. Plus it was a little extra boost of energy for cleaning out Carter's closet and his bedroom. I worked in there for about an hour and a half and according to SparkPeople (a new website I joined that's much better than CalorieCount), that's 540 calories burned and I'm aiming for 700 per week! I'm feeling really good. I didn't get hungry today. I actually felt full longer than usual. I think my body is finally responding positively. It just took two days but it's sure worth it.

I've quit drinking soda which was my biggest issue and I'm drinking more water than I think I've ever drank in my life. I'm feeling really good about this.
