Alcohol Free & Feeling Good

Day 3 – Wednesday July 18, 2012

Today marked day 3 – Got up this morning feeling pretty darn good. I am extremely sore and tired but no headache and the scratchy throat. And when I say tired I hit the snooze button way too many times only to turn the alarm off completely by mistake. Whoops I was 30 minutes late to work today.

Here is my question? I feel so good that I have accomplished 3 days. And 3 days is nothing in the scheme of things. Why does it feel like I have been doing this for 3 months already?  And of course when I look in the mirror I think why I am not any thinner? Hello?!?! It’s only been 3 days. I cannot wait to see a difference in my clothes, the scale and my attitude.

 Same rules apply for today

·         No Alcohol

·         No fried foods

·         No sugar

·         No Desserts

·         5 required meals

·         Fat Burn & Weight Training

·         Drink 1 ½ gallons of water 

I must admit the rules are getting easier. I may not have to post them daily as a reminder. What I mean by easier is they are not even a thought. It just is the norm. I pray that it just get easier and easier from here on out. 

Today is also a HUGE day for me in hitting another milestone. Today makes 7 days alcohol free. No I didn’t have a problem but I did enjoy my wine. And I know for a fact that it hindered my weight loss. Friday night’s is always date night with the Dear Hubby and started out at happy hour and then unfortunately happy hour because Happy HourS. Then of course the poor decision making came naturally and easy. DH and I are still going to have date nights but the activity is definitely going to change.  

I worked out and ate as planned and I am proud of myself for sticking with it. I must admit however that I am slightly frustrated today. I want results and I want them now. And in all honesty I measured my stomach and it is one inch bigger. What is up with that?? Part of me feels like maybe I am eating too much food. But I am going to trust my trainers and hang tough and continue and remind myself I didn’t get overweight overnight I’m not going to get thin and strong overnight.
