Struggling

Today has been a struggle to stick with the food plan.

Here's all the things I wanted to eat: (I'm hoping listing everything will help me realize that I do have to will power to get through this successfully)

Cheese Balls
Peanut Butter
Cheese
Spaghetti
A gigantic salad with tons of cheese, croutons and ranch dressing
Dark Chocolate
Banana Bread, warm with butter slathered all over it.

I managed to get through the day with only have a forkful of spaghetti when I was making plates for the girls.

I knew this round was going to be a bit harder than the first time around. Ross isn't doing it with me this time, so I'm cooking for him and the girls, lots of yummy things I can't have right now. I decided I was going to quit smoking when I started the diet as well. If I had quit any other time, I would have undoubtedly gained weight. This diet is so strict and limited on what you can eat and I've already done it once so I figured that would be the best time to get over smoking as well since I'm not allowed to go munchies wild when I have a nicotine craving. But, I also don't have the nicotine to depend on when I'm hungry, which is what I did the first time around. When I was hungry, I'd just go out and have a cigarette and then I'd be fine. I've been kinda cranky today, but I made it through.

Tomorrow is a new day, a fresh start and more pounds to lose. I'm currently at 9.6lbs down since the 4th. This mornings weight was 191.2. I'm just a few pounds away from my lowest weight after the first round, and then I'm moving on to new pounds!!

I haven't started with any exercise yet, but I'm thinking I'll get one of my Walk Away The Pounds DVD's out tomorrow. This weekend I plan to clean off the treadclimber so I can start training for the 5K.
