Challenge of the Day

Today is my day off...you know what that means...home alone! I must stay away from the kitchen. I have a lot to keep me busy, I just can't overeat!

I read a Facebook friend's status that said she was going to replace one bad thing with one good thing every day. I don't know that I have "bad things" to give up, I'm just trying to make positive changes.

I slipped a little yesterday but not bad. In the afternoon, I was starving at school while sticking around for my meeting. I remembered the candy in the closet. 210 calories for 5 pieces...I had 2 pieces...just enough to satisfy that urge. Jen asked what we were having for supper. I grabbed a box of lean pockets, but I told her we could have pizza and she didn't have to wait for me. I ate both pockets around 5pm and when I got home at 7:15, there on the table was a salad! Yay! That worked in my favor.

Yesterday I also psyched myself into thinking I've already lost weight. My pants seemed to button with little effort...I think it's all in my mind because it'd only been 3 days. I just try to keep in mind that I'm doing this all for a baby.

Day 4....away we go!
