Day 2 - Dec 9 2011

Day 2 - I am only halfway through the day but I am feeling a lot better. Already feel more awake than usual. Drinking water is never a problem and I am making sure to get in all that I need to help flush out what junk is left in my body. I am tempted to get on the treadmill today, but we will see.

I usually get a severe migraine between day 2 and day 3, I believe it is caused by the change in my blood pressure from not having large amounts of sodium in my diet. I usually wait for that to pass before I start exercising.

Because I prepare all my own food, I don't typically get bored with it. I am doing well with what I cooked on Monday, so I should be able to get through the week. 

I feel a lot more resolve this time as well, I have started and stopped several times in the last 18 months. But this time I feel different, I really feel I may have gotten to the moment where I come first and I just do it. The fact that no family is coming to visit for the Holidays is partially a blessing, I won't have that added stress or need to cook oodles of food that is not healthy for me.

Of course, my kids are already getting set to complain, they can eat anything and never gain an ounce. It is hard to cook food for them and food for me separately, I can not eat their food and they don't want to eat mine. Of course they are more than old enough to fend for themselves, I think that is the battle plan. 

Hope you all have a happy and healthy day!
