Losing And A Grooving

Dont you just love all that weight loss the first week of a diet?

Hello friends! How are you all? I need to check up on you all to see whats been going on.

I started my diet on Monday. Ate about 1,700-1,800 calories and dropped one pound. Then yesterday, Tuesday, I worked out and ate 1,759 and lost 1.6 pounds this morning for a total lost of 2.6 pounds in two days.

There have been a few painful episodes of resistance. Like on Monday, Daddy Rainmaker wakes up and what does he want?

Doughnuts. And at my favorite bakery no less. So...I resisted getting a doughnut for myself while at the same time getting doughnuts for everyone else. Its like...why couldnt you have wanted to get those doughnuts on Sunday morning? When I could have had one.

Oh, and if youre wondering why Daddy Rainmaker is at home on a Monday morning...well, he is no longer employed at his previous job.

So glad that stressful situation is over. Now we can move on and do a few things that weve wanted to do...like starting a lawn care business...painting the house, going on vacations longer than expected because the job isnt calling him back to work...

Well, I plan on getting in a few more days at the gym this week. Ive been biking and doing some elliptical this week. However, I may start running in a few days to begin building my base for that half marathon in September.

I havent completely cut out sugar at the start of this diet, but am aiming at working toward that. Im allowing myself 40 calorie Blue Bunny bomb pops when the snacking urge arises. Im getting in at least one spinach salad a day. Im avoiding white flour, though I did have some last night. I am working toward weaning myself off of caffeine. It may take another three weeks before Im completely off of it.

I know what I need to do to lose twenty pounds in ten weeks.

Heres to another stab at it!

I will do it. Eventually!

Hope youre all doing well!

Sincerely,

Sunshine Mama
