So is it really worth it??

Well I just had my first weigh-in. I'm at day 3 right now and really questioning if this is worth it? Is it the right time for me (because of my mom and the fact that I like to eat my emotions)? Is it going to help at all? I went into the weigh-in today with all those questions and the answer is ....

YES!!!!

In 3 days I have already lost 2.5 lbs. That's over 1 kg!!! In 3 days. I remember last time I did this program I lost 6 lbs in the first week and I'm gearing up to do the same this time. Yeah me!!!

I am struggling though. It's hard going from limitless food intake to 1100 calories a day. Snacking is a huge issue for me but I'm managing to stay away from the temptations. I think that the reason why I'm so successful with this program is that the recipes are so good you don't even feel like you're on a diet. Tonight for dinner I had a huge taco salad with all the fixings and it was only 400 calories. It was great!!! I can't wait until next week though when I get to introduce a snack into my day and raise my caloric intake to 1300.

Day 2

I'm HUNGRY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ahhhhh ... 1100 calories a day is not enough for me!!!  I normally enjoy snacking on all kinds of things at pretty much all hours of the day. We have all kinds of healthy and junky snacks in the house. I miss my snacking! This is really hard!!

Honestly though - I'm not sure if I'm really hungry or if it's a combination of boredom, habit and a terrible carb addiction. I know right now it's hard but I also know from experience that it will get easier and it will get better .... AND I will look fabulous when I'm all done.

P.S. I realised that my "wordless wednesday" yesterday was actually posted on Tuesday. Maybe next week I will get it right.

Wordless Wednesday

I'm stealing this from a fellow blogger ... Great idea! Thanks!!

1 day down ... too many to count left to go

The dreaded first day of the diet is down and it wasn't too too bad. I've had better days by far but considering everything else that happened today - the diet was the least of my worries.

My mom is back in the hospital again. Hopefully it's just for a few days and she can get strong enough to go back home. I'm saying that because I'm hoping for the best but I know that she is not going to get better. I just don't want her to suffer and I can already see in her eyes that's she's miserable. I wish there was anything I could do to make it better. But I can't. It sucks!!

The next 24 weeks ....

I'm tired of being ... well tired. I have no energy, am bored all the time, find no excitement in anything and just want to curl up on the couch and do nothing. This has been me for the past several months. Between thyroid issues, ppd, and a major weight gain that I just can't come back from, I've had it. I NEED to do something ... and so I shall. For the next 24 weeks I will be on a strict diet and lifestyle change. I know this will work to regain my self esteem and energy because I have done it before and it worked well. Only thing was that I got pregnant before I was finished. Now I'm going to finish it. Wish me luck .....
