Progress!

I started to write a blog tonight about my Day 2 of cleanse and got caught up in the day's events and trying to find some meaning in it.  I won't bore you with details because I may post it later when I have a chance to go in and make revisions and de-emotionalize it some.  (Yes I am aware I made up a word.  deal with it!)

End of Day 2 and I have to say the end was easier than the start.  I did however keep thinking it would be nice to just eat something.  Right now, I am starting to feel hungry but I know I'll just drink some water and the craving will go away. 

I am wondering if this has been so easy because 1) I was not surrounded by food all day and 2) when I did see food it had no smell due to my cold thus lessening it's hold over me. 

I felt good all day.  Not tired.  Not hungry.  I think I just wanted to chew. 

You're body is used to chewing food at least three times a day and I really felt a need to masticate!

Gum would have been handy. 

But I did not feel deprived.  

And stepping on the scale today made me feel good!  So I'm 8lbs down in 2 weeks!  Not too shabby I say!  I will be happy if I can get another 7-8 by the end of the month.. 

I have to say I have been worried with the weightloss portion.  I know I lost inches but I've been fooled before. 

Last year I lost a lot of inches while working my ass off (literally) with Mundo, mi Mundo.   I felt great, I had strength, and my clothes were fitting so much nicer.  And then he'd get me on the scale and the damn thing never budged! I was eating good, I was excercising like a crazy person 3-4 times a week and nothing. 

It was like a serious slap in the face anytime I stepped on that scale.  And he wasn't just measuring weight. He was measuring body fat.  That never changed either. WTF? It didn't seem possible and even to this day I think there had to be something wrong with  the scale. 

But it was mentally discouraging and even though I saw positive changes in my body I felt defeated.  I felt that if I had no change with the paid workouts , then why keep going when he was gone.  I stopped.  

(See my previous post- He says we can stil be friends )

I gained weight. UGH! 

But no more fear!  I will be looking forward to the next steps!

And  the best part? I get to see mi Mundo tomorrow at the gym and I know he will celebrate with me. 

That said, I need my beauty rest! 

Night all!
