I feel much better after a great 8th day. I did what I was aiming for and kept my calories around 700 and did not get into the booze.
I thought I'd be starving with only that many calories, but I stretched it through a large quantity of low-calorie veggies and it was a breeze. Today I'm going to go back up to 1000 cals though.
Not much to say about yesterday since it was pretty uneventful. I got a good day of work done and relaxed with some cross-stitching and TV shows in the evening. I started watching amc's Hell on Wheels that I PVR'rd last weekend and so far its pretty good.
I'm also really psyched that my weight is down 5 pounds from a week ago! I'm amazed at how the weight is just melting off without the night-time drinking. So my weigh-in today was 144.6 lbs, and my goal weight is 119 lbs.
I also tried on a dress that I bought online months ago and couldn't fit into (it was too tight around the rib cage & has no stretch, so I needed to lose actual inches there to make it work). And it fit! Yay!!
I've lost a total of 38 pounds since the beginning of the year (2012) and now I have about 25 pounds to go. At this rate I'll be there in 5 weeks. LOL! Just kidding, I know I won't be able to keep up that pace of weight-loss.
It always gets harder the smaller you get.
