R1 Day 8

Success! This morning's weigh in came down with a loss of 1 lb. I know in the grand scheme of things 1 lb isn't much but it all adds up and it makes me feel like I'm doing something right finally. If I can manage to continue with losing a pound a day then by the time I am done with round 1 I could be pretty close to my goal weight. I will technically be within a good BMI range but I want to give myself a little lee way so if something happens I won't be a total loss. As for things other than weight, I think, mind you, think that I may have lost some inches around my waist. Well, not really some, more like one but I'll take it. I don't know if it is all in my head but I feel like there is less spillage when I put on pants and they fit better. The other day I also felt like my face looked thinner which is huge for me because I have a big face. Though, it could have just been how I wore my hair and the fact that I'm getting old. Who knows. Maybe if I could get my butt out into this cold weather that we're having and start walking again then perhaps I could lose even more. I don't know. What I do know is that I am going to try to stick with what is working for me. And if it stops working, I'll change it up.

I have been having cravings for things lately. I think more than anything else that it is really just because I can't have it. I don't think I would crave it as much if I could have it. There have just been a few things that I really wanted to eat but thankfully did not. I don't eat other people's baked goods and often not that of a store either but I do eat my own. I made cookies the other day for the fam and it is all that I can do to not eat them. Good thing they are gone now.
