So far I am right on track! I have exercised each day and I am eating between 1,260 - 1,500 calories a day, last night I even had to eat MORE to reach the 1260!! I am becoming very aware of when I am feeling hungry that I feed my body something helpful to my body. I have been doing great drinking my 8 cups a day of water thanks to crystal light!
Today we had 2 cord of wood delivered, I prepared my body with an energizing yoga and then spent an hour and a half stacking/throwing and picking up wood so far today I have burned 1200 calories!! I am beyond proud of myself! I am beginning to understand what all those numbers REALLY stand for on the nutrition facts chart and I can feel my body loosening up from all of the yoga! I think that overall I am in MUCH better spirits, I am not finding myself idle as much as last week and I am a good, healthy tired at bedtime!
I am having to be mindful of not getting caught up in the weighing and critiquing myself physically in the mirror. I know that its my anorexic mind talking but I am trying not to be frustrated that my pants aren't fitting more loosely. I understand that losing weight quickly hasn't worked for me in the past, it wasn't healthy nor did it last and when I would gain back I tended to gain MORE! Tim is taking us all out to dinner tonight and I am feeling very confident that I can make wise choices for my remaining 990 calories. I do have a feeling that this will be my first day where I get close to the high end of my goal but I am trying not to be upset about that since a goal is a goal and as long as I am inside of that range I will be healthy.
I would be lying if I didn't admit that I am beyond excited to start SEEING the changes that I can already feel in my body but any GREAT thing is worth waiting for!

When I lost the weight last time I found it hard to not get upset about being closer to the high end or even going over slightly. I had a really hard time eating out. You really just have to try and plan as far in advance as possible and if all else fails just make healthy choices. At least then you won't be on the high end because you chose unhealthy foods. One day and one bite at a time. That's all you can do and a slower weight loss is much better for you anyway. You sound like you are doing great! Keep it up!
