Friday, Day 5

Another 1/2 pound down today! I started this diet on Monday, but I had weighed myself last Friday, and am now 5 pounds less than I was last Friday. Monday I weighed in at 1/2 pound less than Friday's weight. Anyhow, I am glad to be making progress in the right direction.

I am wondering if things are beginning to taste differently to me. At lunchtime I had a tbsp. of Reese's peanut butter, my favorite, but it didn't seem to taste as good to me. I have not been eating it because it has molasses in it, but when I looked at the sugar count in it, I figured it was pretty low for one tbsp.

Yesterday was pretty crazy, and I probably burned more than one calorie! Ross and I worked very hard at putting in the rest of our 2 gardens. Then last night Ken and I and Ross hightailed it off to pick up our furniture. Even though we bought it from Snap and Bonnie, it was shipped to a furniture store down near Emlenton, and we offered to go get it. So we were crazy busy, and didn't have much time to think about food, anyways!

Speaking of five pounds--several weeks back I was telling myself that perhaps if I could focus on losing just five pounds, and not think about how much I have to lose, maybe it would be better for me. And now, I have accomplished it by giving up sugar and flour pretty much. It really doesn't even seem hard at this point.

Now I have a challenge coming up--we are going to Leigh and Jill's for the weekend. Weekends were always bad for me at Weight Watchers, but this is different. I am hoping that I can continue on my basic foods while I am there.

I'll be posting again Monday!
