Today has been... a learning experience to say the least. I learned my body can do more then I thought. I learned my cravings for certain things can be satisfied without completely going off the diet.
First the exercise. Yes, the walk earlier in the day was invigorating and absolutely what I needed. And that would have been sufficient exercise for the day but I pushed it and went to the gym tonight. After 25 minutes on the eliptical machine I thought my legs were going to give out on me. I'm not being sarcastic, I thought I was going to walk on the ground and face plant. But I didn't. I even went on to do more exercises. I am shocked as what my body can do. But now I'm terrified I'm going to overdo it. I need to find a pace for myself that works. And one that I can maintain for the next 3 months if I want to succeed at this weight-loss challenge and not burn myself out.
Food? *sigh* Still struggling. I felt like I ate a lot today. Cereal in the morning, a great sandwich for lunch, protein/fiber bar for snack and a delicious dinner that I swear did not taste like "diet" food.

I am one satisfied customer. Except again... haven't eaten all my points. How the hell do people do it? I hope I'm not shooting myself in the foot here and hindering my weight-loss by not eating. I even had dessert! Ugh, I hope it gets easier. But I can tell you, I have drank my 8 glasses of water and then some. Easy peasy there! Now excuse me while I go pee for the 22nd time today...
Time management sucked again today. I thought it would get better but it didn't. Of course it is just day 2.
Last on my "goal" list is sleep. I intend to be in bed by 10:30pm. That's an hour from now and I absolutely think that is going to happen. YAWN!
Day 2... Done.
