Day 3

So I've had some carrots as a snack, and I actually feel pretty good right now, even with that dense chocolate cake (when I was about 3/4 of the way done, I put it in the microwave to heat it up, all of the frosting melted, so I just had the rest of the cake itself and then a little bit of the melted chocolate, which is definitely saved calories, haha). And I haven't had a proper "lunch" yet because I haven't been hungry. I think I might eat at four and then have my dinner (which will be light, probably cereal or something) at around eight or nine. I like eating later because I go to sleep really late/early, haha. But I've been doing better on the staying up front. Sleep is really important, after all.

I think I might try that hypnosis again. I feel like it actually has really helped to solidify my commitment to this. And it's been getting easier to say no to unhealthy foods, even just a bite of it. But then again, it is only day three.

I'm really going to have to watch myself on Monday because I'm getting a mani/pedi and then lunch with my aunt-to-be, Arlene. We're gonna be at Bellevue Square, so... haha. Even at a restuarant, it's gonna be difficult. But I think I'm going to try and go for some chicken or turkey or some soup. Mmm, soup would be nice. But it -is- only one meal, and I will have exercised already (gonna have to get up earlier because I'm meeting her at ten, I'll have to leave at 9:20 because there's going to be a bit of a walk to get from the parking garage I'll be in to where we're meeting). And there's no reason to make myself miserable.

Still hesitantly optimistic.

Time for more water :)
