day one

It's coming to an end. I did very well today. I even cooked dinner for the family--pork steak, scalloped potatoes, corn...... I admit to having two tiny bites of steak but quickly regained control. I normally would not have stopped until I ate the entire thing but today I didn't want to undo all my hard work......
It is the evening hours that are hardest for me. Everyone is in bed, all is quiet. I can eat whatever I want. No one begging for a bite. Not tonight. I'm finishing up my water and getting ready for bed. Although I did not get my walk in today I cleaned house like a mad woman all day and really worked up a sweat. I'm actually too tired to walk tonight. I've had quite a cut in calories today compared to what I've been doing to myself and need to get thru the first few days of hunger, headache, overall tiredness before I take off on my treadmill. I almost forgot--I went the entire day without a diet pepsi--which I'm sure is behind my lingering headache. Looking forward to day two....
