Day 10: Moving Along

Morning Loss: 1.4

Total Loss: 8.4

Morning Mood: Content

I considered my morning mood for a while. Excited? Victorious? Powerful? No, not quite. The road is still long and I'm grateful for these bigger losses, but I know it's still very much a game I have to play one day at a time.

Truvia is my new best friend. As far as I can tell it's a cousin to Stevia and I'm going with it. Because it is delightful. I had it on my grapefruit last night and it was honestly amazing. Had it in some tea this morning and it was almost too sweet (half a packet next time). In the past I've never spent the money on Stevia, but Truvia is cheaper and at the regular grocery store.

Day 9: Just gotta keep on

Morning Loss: 2.2

Total Loss: 7

Morning Mood: Motivated

This diet is not for the faint of heart. It does not work unless it is followed about as closely to the letter as possible. My biggest challenge is not touching food, products, dishwater, etc that has oil in it. I forgot to weigh yesterday so today was an extra bonus to see I was down another 2.2 pounds. My goal today is to push water. The last couple of days I haven't even had all of the food allowed. I don't eat the melba toast and I've been skipping a fruit or vegetable. I'm not sure why. I'm not hungry, or when I want to eat, I want a cinnamon roll, so I eat nothing. That's a good life plan, I think.

I believe if I do another 21 day round starting June 1, I should be swimsuit ready by July 1. If I can eek out 30 pounds this round and 15 the next, I'll be only 5 pounds or so off of smokin' hot. The babies turn one on July 5, so that's a mile marker for me to look forward to. And never look back.

Day 7: Up

Morning Loss: +.8

Total Loss: 4.8

Morning Mood: eh. gotta be more careful about handling food and dishes and stuff. I think I was getting dehydrated yesterday.
