Today I got up and jumped on the scale. Down to 218. That's 9.5 lbs lost in 8 days. Yay!!

Good start to the rest of the week to stay motivated.

BTW I don't feel like I'm starving myself. I eat. I just don't sit and eat a bag of cookies or 4 chocolate bars or a big bag of chips each night like I used to. Don't get me wrong I MISS snacking while watching tv. It used to go so well together. But alas eventually all good things must come to an end.

I'm drinking water which I never did before. I hated water. BUT it's good for you and I haven't had a headache or migraine in over a week. I think drinking constant coffee or diet soda was dehydrating my system. Before last week I'd have a headache or a migraine almost every day. I used to wake up with one and it would stay until I'd have at least my 2nd cup of coffee. I haven't had one since Last Saturday.. YAYAYAYAYA

Coffee is not a substitute for water. I still drink my usual 6-8 cups of coffee a day but I also drink between 1-2 liters of water a day too. I'm still learning and some days it's harder then others to get the full 8 glass (2L) down. But as long as I keep trying then I'm ahead of where I was. I did get 2L down a couple of times. That was an accomplishment.

Also I owe a lot to a few of my buddies who keep me wanting to come back. I highly suggest getting a buddy or two. They'll probably be the key to my success.

Have a Great Tuesday Everyone!!!
