Day 5 and I'm really starting to feel it now. Maybe it's because today was the most physically active day I've had since I started this diet. I moved the Christmas decorations back to our storage locker (which involved lots of loading and unloading as well as climbing stairs) and helped Sandy clean out the garage afterward. That put me close to 8000 steps today! I need to break 10000 to be guaranteed real weight loss, so I'll still continue to push.
Still, smells, sights, and even comments about food are becoming more and more tempting. I just about lost it when Alex had a piece of chocolate after dinner tonight! At least three times I was sorely tempted to break the diet, but I'm not going to. Other than the Communion cracker I had this morning at church I've consumed nothing not on the plan since early Wednesday morning. I've gotten more temperamental, which I regret.
Unfortunately my thoughts are getting a little fuzzier, so the epic discourse I had planned for tonight will have to wait until later. But I will say this: the sacrifice will be worth it! I can't wait until Tuesday to see how much I've lost so far!
Steve you are worth all the sacrifice- I believe you will be not only closer to your family after this but closer to God- in your small way(or big one) you are making a sacrifice for the ones you love! Just as He made the ultimate sacrifice for the ones He loved , US!!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm going to do my best to crucify this extra weight! ;-)
