Day three, and already 5 pounds lighter!

Well, it's a good thing I had some results today. Yesterday was awful and I was having my doubts---"Can I really already want to quit two days in? I don't think I can manage this for 11 more weeks!"

I weighed this morning and am 5 pounds lighter than I was on Friday. This took a month to accomplish at the gym! I'm feeling better today too. I'm not AS hungry feeling, and I actually went up to school and worked on my room a bit. I could tell I was getting tired after a couple hours though, so I went to walmart and bought a new variety of "approved veggies" and meats for my lean and green meal. I got roughly 3 weeks of "dinner" ingredients for less than $50. Can't beat that budget!

I decided to do my green portion at lunch--best salad EVER. It filled me up and gave me the energy to do a boatload of house work. Yay for accomplishment!

I don't think I'm supposed to separate my "Leans" and my "Greens" but I'm supposed to have 3 servings of veggies each day and some of them include 1 cup of salad, 1/2 cup of green beans, 1/2 cup of tomatoes PLUS however many ounces of meat... Sorry, I really like to eat, but that's a LOT of food for one sitting. I think it'll be ok to spread out. I'll just have 7 meals a day for now.

Better get back to housework. I start in-service tomorrow morning, so there won't be any more free time for me to be productive. Sigh. I'm excited about seeing the kids though, and getting back into a routine. Here we come 2009-2010 school year! Hopefull there will be much less of me at the end than at the beginning!
