Day 3 142lbs

Well at least I am seeing a little bit of weight loss and its only been two days.  That is always a good thing.  My  goal  is to lose 20 lbs, so this is only the tip of the iceberg, the fat fat iceberg that is me…

So it’s Saturday, 3 in the afternoon and I haven’t eaten anything yet today.  I’m not starving which is really weird because usually on Saturdays I’m up making scrambled eggs and sausage before I devour my arm in hunger.  I have had a sparkling water however.

A little trick I have learned in the past couple days:  If your stomach growls and you have another two hours before your next meal- down a huge glass of water! It has really helped me stay away from unnecessary snacking.

Another tip to get your 8 glasses of water a day.  Set an alarm for yourself to go off every hour, whether it’s at work on your computer calendar, or on your cell phone alarm: every hour on the dot drink a glass of water.  It helps you feel full and you get your recommended 8 glasses of water a day while you are at work!

Yesterday I got home and immediately went to the fridge.  I stood there staring into its vast universe and I soooo wanted a piece of mozzarella wrapped in a piece of prosciutto…but no.  I opted for a hand full of dried apricots instead.  It did the job but it sure as heck wasn’t as yummy as the cheese and meat would have been! I have decided that I could never live a vegan life for more than a little while. I am definitely a carnivore. Wish me luck for the rest of the day!
