Day 2 - Success, But It's Not Going Well...

I mean, it doesn't help that there's still treats sitting on the counter top...sour cream and onion chips, truffles from Costco, Sweet Georgia Browns and the list could go on.  What is the one thing that really got me going though?  Seeing the 2 litre of Coke sitting there.  Nice and warm too, not tainted by painful cold from the fridge.

But here's what I ended up eating for dinner: Salmon stuffed Sole with veggies.



Is this what the problem is?  Do I need to get rid of it?  Is it just a simple withdrawal from the foods I want to eat 24/7?  I did very well today.  No cheating.  I thought long and hard about it.  Drank some water although not enough, swam laps for 20 minutes.  What did the exercise do for me today?  Normally it gets me happy and hyper.  Swimming is less likely I'll admit because it always knocks me on my ass, even if I just leisurely play with Kaitlin and don't use the time to exercise.

Apparently, according to the hubbie, my demeanor was like night and day from yesterday.  All day I've been quite blah, down, headache.  Haven't had a headache in forever.  Was that because I only had one cup of coffee today?  Seriously?

Updated my Biggest Loser challenge online.  I know you're not supposed to weigh yourself daily, and they tell you not to, however, the field is there so I'm going to fill it in.  So I'm up 2 pounds in one day.

But that's not what's bothering me.  I know the fluctuations will happen.  What bothers me is my mood.  Is it the post-Christmas blues?  I do get those and I get them very badly.  Is it because I want something that's just right there but I "can't" have it because I've restricted myself?

I'm not even going to try humor tonight, it will probably come out quite sarcastic and rude.  Heh..maybe that's what I need.

My positive thought for today?

Food and drink today did not go down like kool-aid, but then, who likes a big red guy in tights anyway?

I'm going forward, staying strong.  I didn't have to exercise today and I did.  Now there's something to celebrate!
