Day 15: Clawing my way through...
Morning Weight: 152.8
Morning Mood: Despondent
I am suffering through this at this point. I am scraping by for tiny losses. I can't wait to be done. Oh how beautiful a number in the 140's will look. I hope I live to see the day. And if I die, they are going to embalm me and I'll look all puffed up and heavier and then what? No one will even know I met my goal. Very sad.

Day 14: Bones
Morning Weight: 153.2
Morning Mood: Still motivated
So, last night we took the kids and went to the church for a fall carnival...You know, the kind with candy and doughnuts and scones and hot chocolate? It was really hard for Chad and harder for me than it would have been last time around. But, no pain, no gain (or loss in this case). We stood strong. We came home and ate some chicken. Ooh, and strawberries for the first time. They tasted really good.
The good news is-- I can feel more bones. This is not to be confused with seeing more bones. I can't really see any bones, except my collar bone, which I think is sexy. Anyway, when I'm laying down, I can feel my ribs and my tummy sinking in instead of spilling over. When I sit at the kitchen table, I can immediately feel my butt bones against the chairs. When I lay on my side, my hip bones are revealed. I have to take the time to notice all the small things because they make this all worth it. And one of the best things? The thinner I get, the more my dimples show.

Day 13: Kind of a let down
Morning Weight: 153.8
Morning Mood: Sort of bummed
I was sort of bummed that I didn't get another 1 pound loss, but I am truly coming down slowly but surely. Here are some pics from today with a total loss of 32.2 pounds. I am really wondering if my goal weight of 148 will get rid of the rest of my belly. It's only another 5.8 pounds.
As a side note, I have officially forgone the melba toast. Why you ask? Take a look at this pic--it just really isn't that satisfying. On the other hand, that piece of bread really scares me now too...

Day 12: This is so long
Morning Weight: 154
Morning Mood: positive.
I am really happy to be on the down side of the 150's. It is very exciting, but I have to tell you, I can't believe I did this for 40 days last time! That is just unreal. It seems so long this time and it's harder to stay focused. I really miss my food. I really want something that actually tastes good. You know what I really want? I want bleu cheese sprinkled over my cucumbers in balsamic vinegar. I want peanut butter on my apples and I want oatmeal with berries and a little bit of brown sugar. I want to cook a big meal for chad and I want to make bread. BUT, I will get through all of this and come out at goal. And that will feel great.
