Today is day 10 of having no sugar. It has been so much easier than I had expected. Sure, I still get googly-eyes over all the yummy treats I see on Pinterest, but I am doing good! Granted, there have been no temptations at home, but that's also because I haven't bought or made any goodies. ;)
At our family reunion in Richfield (Gifford reunion) I did great! There were temptations, but I resisted. I was proud of myself. Although I guess I did have sugar....in the jello salads. It just wasn't yummy-goodies-that-I-crave sugar (a.k.a chocolate, cookies, any kind of baked goods, ice cream, etc). :) I've totally got this!
I have been trying to eat less through-out the day and drink as much water as I possibly can. So far so good. Today I have already drank about 70+ oz. and am hoping to get a few more in before bed. This goes without saying, although I am saying it, I am in the bathroom all. day. long. Those who know me well are not shocked in the least. ;)
I weighed in on day one and then again on Monday (a week later) and I had lost 1.4 lbs. However, when I went and donated plasma on Tuesday morning, their scale only put me as losing 4 oz. Boooo! Oh-well. I have to remind myself that it is a slow process and to just be patient with myself. I only allow myself to weigh myself on Mondays. It is dangerous of me to weigh myself any more than that because then I get discouraged and down on myself. Just ask Casey.
I plan to continue strong! I am bound and determined to lose this weight!
Also remember that the extra water you're drinking is adding weight as your body adjusts to the H20 increase. I hear ya, sister. Our little cuties change our bodies something fierce, but luckily we have sweet husbands who think we're the hottest. Yes!
ReplyDeleteThat's right! Even when we don't feel the hottest! Those hubs are the best!
