Sherillynn's Journal, 25 April 2013

I got a pleasant surprise this morning and probably just what I needed to cap off my motivation level. I weighed in at 0.5 pound less than three days ago.

I know, it's not much but I've been trying to go back to basics here. I am working on self discipline. I need to get over denying myself food. How ridiculous is that? Certainly I won't starve. I won't even have a hunger pang and yet its almost psychologically painful to not get what I want.

I have a spoiled inner child. I am working to curb that.

Yesterday,I had to be extra aware of every single thing I put in my mouth. You might say, I was hyper-vigilant. There are days at work when there are poisonous foods everywhere. Cake, cookies, bars-- you name it. Yesterday was one of those days. My antidote to poison is a large glass of ice water with a few Mio drops. I got the sweet taste and the water fills me up.

I am heading to visit friends tomorrow and I'll be gone for 4 days. Luckily, she and her husband are low carbers as well. It'll be a good trip. I even get to take my 2 pups. Life is good.

When I return, I'll be installing bees. Spring has sprung when its time to do bee stuff. I love it. LOVELOVELOVE SPRING!
