It's official...the blubber is melting. I mean, come on...there's got to be something good come out of depriving myself of cheesy pasta and McNuggets and Coke, right?!
I'm down 17 lbs. I'm searching online for swimsuits for the first time in 3 years!! Amazing. Fun. Exciting. Yeah...I'm kinda getting into this now. I'm actually looking forward to our trip to Orange Beach in a few weeks. We even bought Braiden one of those little 3 foot expandable pools (you know, those with the pump that doesn't do a thing to help with water condition)...and I've been in it. With shorts on! I'll post pictures of swimming later.
I actually have more energy than I did when I was hopped up on sugar and fat and all the stuff I had told myself I had to have to be able to get up and move!! No more sugar highs to fall from. I call it, "Fueling my Body" and not stuffing it just because the food is there. Oh, it's there, alright, lurking it's ugly delicious self at me. And it's hard not to cheat. Saturday at lunch, I was pinching up Wendy's chicken nuggets for Braiden and he had one left. He refused to eat it; raked off what was left of the third nugget into his highchair. Hmmm. I thought, "One couldn't hurt", and took a nibble. Then popped the whole entire greasy thing in my mouth. I was sick the rest of the day. Kinda made me feel good that I felt so bad. Lifestyle change. Fabulous!
I will make an effort not to sound too cheesy - when I feel like slipping into the dark that is greasy, yummy food, I take a glance at my blog. All my wonderful friends wishing me on my way to wellness. And I smile.

Woohoo!!! 17 lbs is awesome! Can you even imagine what a few more weeks will do? So exciting! Keep it up, girl! This will so be worth it! :)
Way to go Dena!!!!! So proud b/c I know it is battle!! I haven't started much on mine yet, but I have ruled out sweets and have come to find that I do not miss them! The coke thing is my MAIN problem!
YEah!!! I am so happy for you! I know you do feel better! All of what you said is so true! It is just so hard to get past those first few weeks of torture until your body gets off all that crap!! I remember after Rachel was born, I really worked, and lost a lot of weight, and I felt 10,000 times better then than I do now. I have gained back all that weight and then some. Keep it up girl, and hopefully you can motivate me!
