Day 31

So this is it, the end of the first month. If you'd asked me if I thought what I've done would have been possible a short month ago, I'd've scoffed. But here I am at the end and I'm so happy to have gotten this far. I hope I can begin to string togther more and more months of healthy living. I oftentimes doubt my abilities to fight off all the urges (and trust me there are many), but for now I just want to be happy with how I've done, and stay focused on getting through today and tomorrow.

Yesterday wasn't bad, though my weight stayed planted in my brain for almost the entire day. As I result, I believe that contributed to my not having dinner. Honestly (honestly) I wasn't even remotely hungry when I got home, and so I snacked on some rice cakes and didn't eat anything else. I didn't go to bed hungry at all, so I'm not going to beat myself up about this too much.

I ate well the rest of the day though. A shake in the morning, a Caesar salad for lunch (which I devoured), and a couple of tangerines and a serving of rice cakes. And lots of water...

So that was the day that was. Here now are the facts:

Day 30 food:

Shake (blueberries, non-fat vanilla yougurt, banana, splash of OJ, ice)

Today should be another easily regimented day. Work, then work, then home. Wish me luck on the final day of the first month of the rest of my life (I'm corny, right?).
