An update of sorts ... The Number is slightly lower again. I'm happy. But you know what I'm happier about? That physically, I feel a lot better than I did before I committed to this.
I purposely didn't count calories and purposely ate what I wanted to on Saturday. I could feel my resolve beginning to crack and I was afraid I'd binge on truffles or something if I didn't change things up a bit. I didn't go nuts or anything, I just wasn't so regimented. And it was fine. Then yesterday, I stuck with my calorie limit but it was all crappy food (i.e. nachos, popcorn, hot chocolate, macaroni and cheese, etc.). Looking at that list really makes me wonder how I stayed within my caloric limit but somehow I did. I didn't have a single vegetable. Blech. I paid for it, too. I felt bloated and sick most of the evening.
It was so refreshing to stick with a healthy diet today. Emotionally and physically I am much better off than I was 2 weeks ago. I'm loving this. It's a great incentive to keep it up.

woot! good for you. i know that when i was eating really really clean, i felt so healthy. no gross bloatage or icky skin. i'm having a hard time cleaning things up diet-wise right now, but making slow/steady progress.
keep up the good work! :)
