It’s all up to me

I know it’s only day 2 but so far I’m liking this 3 Hour Diet.  Yesterday I was hungry after about 2 hours but today I’m making it almost to 3.  I think being at school and keeping busy is definitely helping.  I have been on the scale lately even though I vowed not to until Easter but there have been good results.  Last Monday (3/10) I was 277 and yesterday I was 272.  I just tried to eat healthy last week and exercised a ton.  This morning, after the 1st day on the plan, I was down to 271.  I’m going to let myself get on the scale on Saturday so I’m excited to see what it says.

I’m not going to be able to workout today because I have a meeting until 5:00 and it’s my oldest son’s 5th birthday.  This time five years ago I was VERY uncomfortable.  Things didn’t get too bad until I was dialated to 9 cm and by then it was kind of too late to go with the epidural.  He was 10 pounds with a set of shoulders on him like a linebacker.  After 3 hours of pushing he was out and our love affair began.   Since I have to stay late at school my hubby (who is on spring break) spent the day with him.  They went out to lunch and to the movies to see “Horton Hears a Who”.  It has been his favorite story for a while now so he’s super excited to see it.

If Kyle sleeps through the night tonight I’m going to get up early tomorrow and exercise at 4:00.  The boys have haircuts tomorrow afternoon and our van is getting the brakes fixed so I won’t be able to get home and workout like normal.  But if he doesn’t sleep (and he hasn’t been lately) I am going to skip the workout.  Now that I feel like I have a plan for my eating I’m not so frantic if I don’t have time to workout.  It’s amazing to feel in control of food for once in my life.   I don’t want to get overconfident because that’s usually when fate likes to slap me in the face with a huge craving but I think I’ll be ok if I don’t get to workout until Thursday.
