I'm sticking to my guns so far, and I'm feeling great! I've craved soda, but grabbed the water bottle instead. I've wanted to eat right before bed, have my usual bowl of cereal or sandwich before climbing underneath the covers, but I reached for a water bottle instead. (I'm not saying that water cures all cravings, but it fills my tummy in those two situations.) I've managed to stay away from sweets for the most part (except for one break yesterday with a rogue strawberry Pop Tart).
I've worked out the past two days on my break at work, and that felt great. Today, with no errands to run before work, I plan on doing a Biggest Loser workout DVD and then tonight at work on my break, doing some walk/light jogging on the treadmill. I want results and I want them fast (but not TOO fast). Working out twice a day and eating less has been the only way I've found to achieve that goal. I hear all the time about miracle diets, appetizer depressant pills, etc. but I don't buy into that stuff. Hard work, motivation, and drive are what I had to endure to drop the pounds before. I didn't keep all those pounds off because I stopped working hard. Plain and simple. It wasn't a failure in my methods, it was a failure in me. I quit on myself.
But I'm at the point in my life where I pick myself up, acknowledge my failure, but use it as fuel to push me even farther. I'm tired of starting over, so I need to go straight through to the finish line!
