Day 1: Beginning Again

Day 1 is in the books. I haven't felt incredibly hungry, but the throbbing headache from carb-withdrawal appeared on schedule around midday. Of course it didn't help that after a nearly 2 week streak of napping like a dream, my 2-year-old decided to refuse today's nap. My husband has a cold. Naturally he's acting as if death is imminent.

I decided that I'm going to hold off on exercise until I feel adjusted again. My energy level is pretty low.

I had a few intrusive thoughts of a predictable manner, taunting me to just say "Forget this" and go for a roll and/or a big-ass chunk of cheese. My weight-loss "destination" seems so far away and I feel weak on day 1. I don't have that wide-eyed "I can do this!" bright-eyed and bushy-tailed enthusiasm. But I'm trying to practice in my head "I deserve this." and "Remember the long term goal. It's MORE IMPORTANT THAN FOOD."

But I made it. And I'm going to keep fighting.

I'm worth it.

(I think)


Misc. Notes:

• Lean & Green: Cauliflower pizza (I had one in the freezer! Woohoo)
• I tried the Apple & Cinnamon crisps. They were pretty good. 
• Trying to remember to drink water. I should probably keep a bottle in the car now that it's getting cold out.
• Still feeling that "Urge to Munch" at night. I'm going to curl up in bed and watch "The Walking Dead" (We just finished season 4 and I took out season 5 from the Library). That's a show that definitely doesn't make you want to eat something!
