Phase 3 – Day 5

Weight: 175

Since the scale fluctuated a few times, I was very glad to see that, even on the high side, I didn’t gain anything, and on the low side, I got rid of that pesky .5 pound!

I woke up really full still from all the protein yesterday.  So, I’m planning on what to take with me to work so I can eat a good protein breakfast when I’m ready, rather than when the “schedule” is ready for me to eat.

The sunburn is still pretty bad and my ankles and feet look and feel really swollen.  So, overall, I’m up 2.5 pounds, which is really pretty darn good, I just have to keep myself motivated on a positive note, rather than a negative one, and worrying about “what if’s” and “later”.

I find it interesting that when I look at my tummy I still see the same “fat” tummy that I had when I started this journey.  My husband assures me it is much smaller, but it still feels large.  Couple that with the knowledge of my own failures, and it is so easy to disparage my efforts and results.  Again, another mental hurdle, one I am finding rather pervasive in my life, one I wish to eradicate.  Life is much too short for that sort of thing!
