Day 3 (p.m.)

I hope it was a happy Monday for you. I actually had a very good Monday. Busy, but it was good. I got some good mowing done at the cemetary and I got a little bit of a sunburn...ouch!

Anyway, day 3 went good. My husband laughed at me this morning. Usually I get my fiber drink down before he sees me, but this morning he was determined to watch me. And of course today of all days I gagged really bad and (I apologize for tmi)some of the drink came out my nose. I'm sorry, but this did not feel good at all. So I'm very excited for my 5 days without this drink.

I had good energy levels (obviously....I mowed part of a cemetary), I didn't have cravings, and again I kind of had to make myself eat. I have found that I actually have to look at the clock to see if it's snack time....I don't feel hungry, but the clock says "you better eat a little snack now." I know this will sound bad, but I actually have to work to get in 1000 calories a day. That's strange to me.

And of course I'm still "swimming" through most of my days. But I'm noticing that my clothes are getting even more lose on me. This is the most exciting thing of all. I'm gonna share another deep dark secret (shh...don't tell anyone). If we count from when I first started losing weight (45 pounds ago) I was in a size 16 pants. I tried on some clothes last night and I'm now down to a size 12! I can't believe that. I haven't worn size 12 pants since high school.

You can imagine that I'm feeling pretty good about this. After spending so many years overweight, I'm just excited to be working hard to accomplish my weight loss goal. "I can do it...I can do it."

So that was day 3. Nothing major to report. I didn't weigh in and I won't measure my inches for a while. Have a happy Tuesday and I'll see you tomorrow.
