Day 5 (a.m.)

So here we are on day 5. That's halfway through the first part of this 24 day challenge. I weighed today and I lost some more. I have lost another 2.5 pounds according to the scale. The weight I am right now is the same weight I was at the beginning of college (before my fast-food job went to my waist..lol).

Yesterday I found out something new. I was so busy mowing agian that in the morning and afternoon, I didn't eat a snack. I drank my water and took the energy drink like I was supposed to, but no food. This caused a bad thing. My blood sugar dropped a little too low and right before each meal I kind of did my "grumpy hungry" thing.

What's grumpy hungry, you ask? When I truly get grumpy hungry I am in a very bad mood and very touchy. Little things set me off and I tend to get angry really fast over nothing. I used to think I was just an insane person...until I figured out that it only happens when my blood sugar goes down really fast (like when I have forgotten to eat a snack). I can eat and then I'm just fine and I'm very rational again. So yesterday I had one of these moments before lunch and again right before supper.

Since I figured all this out, today I will make a point to eat a little snack mid-morning and mid-afternoon. This will work out just fine because I babysit this morning and afternoon and won't be mowing (actually trimming) until after 3:30.

I've enjoyed my days without the sawdust drink (I think I just nick-named the silly thing). I take two extra pills in place of it. It's a pro-biotic (I think that's what it's called) and it helps build good things in my tummy and stuff now that we are cleaning it out.

I have done my energy drink and the pills for the a.m. about 8:00 I will do my breakfast shake. Oh, by the way, yesterday I did the berry one and put it in the blender with some fresh strawberries. It was pretty good. I might try it again. It got a little chunky so this time I will blend the strawberries alone first and get them good and pureed then add the water and powder.

So I better get going with my day. Get to spend it with 4 kids and I love that. Babysitting is so much fun. God bless you all!
