Almost 21

Wow, I just realized that I'm almost at 21 days in this process. I have to say that it's gone by pretty quickly. I'm still not 100%-actually don't really feel 50%, but I'm still sticking to all the things that I need to be doing. Yesterday I didn't drink all the water I needed, I was about 32 oz short and what a difference that makes. But when you don't feel so great it's a little more of a challenge. I am hoping by the weekend that I'll be feeling much better.

Small "yeahs" as I like to call them. My ring that I wear on my thumb use to be tight, which I always thought was good so it wouldn't fall off. Well now it slides all over and I'll have to decided on a different finger to wear it on. Also, I am wearing a new pair of pants that I had purchased (at a smaller size) 7 months ago and was never able to wear them....today I can!

I was reminded yesterday while talking with someone that it's so important to share with people what your doing, not only does it keep you accountable but the encouragement is greater. People understand, they relate and know that it's not easy. No one ever said that life would be easy, but that doesn't mean it can't be fun. So let's make this fun!

Weight loss: +.2 (Total: -21.2 pounds and -9.25 inches.

**Side note: I caught this fact on line....yikes! Not sure what's worse..the calories for 1/2 the day or that it's just like eating 8 White Castle hamburgers...sorry dad. ;)

Cinnabon Regular Caramel Pecanbun

1,100 calories
56 g fat (10 g saturated, 5 g trans)

Cinnabon and malls are inseparable. Consider it a symbiotic relationship: Researchers have found that we're turned on by the smell of cinnamon rolls, and further studies have shown that we're more likely to spend money when we're thinking about sex. But just because Cinnabon might be good for Gap doesn’t mean it’s all good for you. This dangerously bloated bun contains nearly an entire day’s worth of fat, two and a half times the unhealthy trans fats you should get in a day, and more than half of your daily allotment of calories. (For those keeping score, that’s as much as you’ll find in eight White Castle hamburgers).
