Day 8

I usually try to blog in the morning, so I am a little late in getting this written. It is weird how you almost look forward to writing down your thoughts. In a way it is therapeutic. Here we are at day 8, and once again, where has the time gone. I feel like I have just started this whole diet, and then I look and see I am on day 8, which is a good thing.

Everything is still going smoothly, I weighed in this morning and here are the stats:

Weight: 236.5
Loss= 1 pound

Once again I had to get on the scale about 10 times to make sure what I was seeing on the digital read out was correct. It it amazing how happy you are about loosing a pound, and even though it has only been 7 days, I am noticing that my body is changing.

I do also have to admit that I had a sliver of my sons Reese's peanut butter cup. It was near bedtime and he offered so I accepted. Like I said, I only had a sliver, and it actually didn't taste as good as I thought it would. The best part of this whole weight loss is that you start to discover patterns and eating habits, and currently the worst time for me is about an hour after dinner. I really start to think about food, especially when the t.v. is on. I did distract myself last night by getting a kitty for my daughter. My co-worker had 3 that she was giving away and we finally got to go pick him up last night. When we got home, we spent more than an hour playing with our new pet. This was a great distraction. So I have discovered if I have distractions, it helps me to not think about food. So long day 8.
