Day 23

Day 23, i weighed in at 213.8lbs! I definitely see a difference in my arms, face, everywhere! I've even had the local barista tell me she can see it. I of course told her i was on a diet first though, she was wondering since i changed my order. She told me about another women who comes in who was doing weight watchers, and before she started she would get a latte with whole milk, whip cream and 7 packs of splenda every day. I was like, you might as well get a frappachino! Needless to say she didn't think she lasted on her diet. I'm thankful all i gave up was a 190cal drink. I used to drink caramel frappachino's everyday when i was in high school! It definitely made me gain weight. I'm so happy i can't drink those anymore, in fact i refuse to in fear of liking them again! LOL
So i didn't exercise today or yesterday because my workload was crazy and body was sore. I'm feeling better though now so i'm going to resume it tomorrow! Definitely need to do another shopping run tomorrow as well as i ran out of strawberries and tomatoes tonight. I need to find some more recipes to try because i'm getting sick of tomato and chicken! Maybe i'll try chicken soup? I don't know. I still have left overs to finish. But the Taco salad has been quite a treat! I'm loving it! Will need to pick up more beef tomorrow as well! My drops are almost out, i probably have a week left in them. I've only been taking two a day for the past week to make them last longer but i'm about done with this. I'm excited to move on to the next stage and eat more! Even though its just eating more healthy food and meats with no carbs, sugar or starch, i'm excited! I cant wait to have tuna with avacado and lemon juice! hehe
I'm REALLY excited to reintroduce carbs again in my diet in stage 3! Miss A and i found pita bread at target for 100 cal or so for the whole bread and it was definitely large enough for a personal pizza! I was SO excited. At Trader Joe's all the pita bread is like 200 cal for a thing, or more. That's too much, i wanna have some room for good toppings! like cheese! OMG CHEESE. I miss you. lol :D

My will is strong and my head is clear. i can even watch man vs. food now and not want to kill myself because of the cravings! That's a huge step for me! I can feel a difference inside and out, i'm just praying now that it lasts.. permanently!

I'll let you know how tomorrow goes! Should be busy and eventful :)

Till then..
