Day 4 ~ Looking Hopeful!

On day two, I was so good! I didn't go over my goal calorie intake for that day. I was so proud of myself....of course, I was so HUNGRY! I left the house that day so that helped a little, but still. What are you supposed to do at night? I feel like a crazy person! I'm so HUNGRY! We did go for a walk after dinner because everyone was still hungry and we were trying not to eat. :) We needed the walk anyways!

Yesterday, my mother-in-law came to town. We took her to lunch at Jack in the Box. To be good, my husband and I shared a meal. Still, eating 1/2 of a meal was still 800+ calories. More than 1/2 of my daily calorie intake goal. So, I had to be really good for the rest of the day and because I only ate 1/2 as much food as usual, I WAS STARVING! :) I still did good and was only about 200 calories above my goal.

Today, we went shopping for some better food. More fruits and veggies. I love them, but they are so expensive. We read every label of everything we bought and hopefully we will be better off this week. At least we'll have more choices.

I'm still having a hard time with nights. I used to eat a lot at dinner and then maybe have something for dessert, but I never really felt hungry. Now, I'm hungry all the time. I'm trying to stick to 3 meals a day and 2 snacks. That's really hard for me because I'm only used to eating two meals a day and then maybe having dessert. I think I always over ate at those two meals....okay, I know I did. It's just easier to see that now!

I think if we can just keep fruits on hand, I can have one of those after dinner and it will still feel like I'm getting something for dessert....or filling me up a little. I also need to start drinking more water. I have my days where I will drink 10 glasses of water, but most of the time I usually only drink 1 or 2.

I didn't have my hubby hide the scale....I weighed this morning. I weighed 277.5 lbs. I had mixed emotions about this. At first I thought, "YES! You're doing it!" Then, I realized that I still have like 4 more days until I have to weigh in and record it online! What if I gain it all back
by then?

My hubby weighed today too. He lost 5 or 6 lbs too. He's awesome! He's been very supportive and he's been trying to find me a cheap weight set and exercise bike. I think we're going to have to put more money into the bike. I don't want it to break! My plan is to ride it while we play Call of Duty on the Wii at night. 10 minute increments. Sounds like a plan. Lets see if I can keep it up!

I'm still starving, but I'm happy about my weight loss....and I'm a lot less tired already!
