Feeling Better

I felt so much better today.  Last night I crashed around 9, woke up at midnight then at 1, decided to just get out of bed for a bit, went back to bed around 3, and awoke again around 8:30.  Despite the night being disjointed, I felt well rested and ready to take on the day.  I met Dave for lunch, went for a drive, stopped by my parents, then met Dave, Becky and Feis for dinner.  Afterward we stopped at Trader Joe's and Bed, Bath, and Beyond where we purchased some veggie burgers (to eat without the bun), Kifir, a salad spinning thing, and new bed sheets.  Our current sheets are a bit too cold for this time of year so I really wanted new flannel ones. I loved the old ones that we've used for years but they're a bit worn at this point.  In addition, we found a great duvet cover on sale so we got that too. 

We are now on day five on our diet and so far we are doing well.  I've lost about seven pounds thus far though it's fluctuated a bit.  It's working but it's so hard.  We walked by so many different popcorn makers in Bed, Bath, and Beyond.  Seriously they had them randomly scattered throughout the store.  It wasn't cool.  I've also found myself purposely avoiding places because I don't want to be tempted.  I won't go to the mall because I'm afraid of wanting to eat the pretzel I've been craving.  I'm reluctant to go to the movies because I know I'm going to want popcorn.  I've thought about going to Jordan's but they I'll be craving the ice cream the entire time.  It made me realize just how often I would crave something and then eat it.  We also discussed how we would totally pig out at this time of the night too.  It's true.  We have so many bad habits and it is super arduous trying to break them.  

My hope is it will be easier as time goes on.
