Actually it is not that bad anymore. I have settled into the diet and my body isn't screaming at me anymore. Grumbling sometimes maybe but not screaming anymore.
I have to be honest though...I am still kind of disappointed by the whole thing. I went to a doctor's appointment this morning so I was weighed for the first time since I started. I lost 5 pounds. I mean I know that is GOOD but...I don't know, I did a MAJOR overhaul of my entire way of eating. I sort of expected more than 5 pounds. I lost that much the first week I just started counting calories. So...not that big of a thing really. And honestly, I don't really feel great either. I am extremely worn out all the time. Which is normal for me, I am not saying it is because of the diet on any account, but I was sort of hoping the diet would help give me some energy. Maybe 2 weeks is not long enough and I need to give it more time. I will...I am not giving up. I just had hoped for a bit more than I have gotten so far.
Last night I did add exercise into the mix, which I know is also an important part. We have a water aerobics class here at work that meets every Tuesday and Thursday at 4:45 and I went yesterday. Going to try to make it twice a week - every time. Hopefully I will be able to.
So...that is that. It is going okay. I feel good in the sense that I am proud of myself for doing it, and sticking to it. Otherwise, though, not much to report. As someone said to me, not much to say when I am eating sticks and berries. LOL.I guess I am not feeling much pep about it all today. Once I have a chance to use my new food processor and try some new recipes maybe I will do better :)
