Motivated in Day 4 & Day 5

“The greater the obstacle, the more glory in overcoming it” Moliere

I have a ways to go, I have a lot I need to accomplish on this health journey. 60 pounds is what I’m trying to eliminate from my life. But I like a challenge, especially when I’m motivated.

I was very comfortable for quite a long time. I have wonderful people in my life that love all of me, and have always made me feel good no matter the weight I’ve gained. My need for change didn’t come from them. It had to come from within. And it took a long time to wake that sleeping beast inside me. But I’m awake now and running full speed towards my goal.

Day 4 & 5 I felt great. Lots of energy and less "puffy," hard to explain. All I can think about is where I’ll be next week or next month…

Both yesterday and today were basically the same:
2 shakes
2 small snacks
1 healthy meal
TONS of water, although, I will say, I think mu bladder is starting to catch on to this new system. 

Also I did some light workout. Played basketball with my kids yesterday and went for a nice walk with a friend today. 

This afternoon I really wanted some fatty foods; curly fries, cheeseburger, etc. I didn't give in, but I need to find a way to help when those cravings hit. 

5 days down 25 to go!

au revoir, adieu, ciao, till next time...
