Check in

This weekend was rough. I had an unpleasant day on Friday which spiraled into an even more unpleasant weekend. A friendship fell apart. It hurts. It sucks. Even so,  I'm not sorry for standing up for myself nor am I sorry for the way I feel. It's been a long time in the making and I probably should have cut ties a lot sooner than I did. It's a shame it couldn't be done peacefully but when you are dealing with a hyper emotional and sensitive person and a person who only knows two emotions; happy and mad... it's a recipe for disaster. It is what it is and I take comfort in knowing that everything happens for a reason. Today is a new day and I hold my head up high.

Typically whenever I'm going through a stressful situation, I turn to food for comfort. With everything that happened this past weekend, food was the last thing on my mind. I had to force myself to eat which is a first for me. On the bright side, yesterday was Day 15 of my 90 Day challenge and I am happy to report that I am down 6.8 pounds!! I can't tell you how good it feels to see that progress. It is motivation for me to keep going. I don't necessarily have a number goal in mind. I really just want to see what my body does on its own. Even after my 90 Day challenge I plan on continuing this lifestyle as I truly believe it works for me. I physically feel better and have more energy. I also have been sleeping better at night and not finding myself  as sleeping during the day. I also have stepped up my exercize routine and have started taking the stairs when I can. My water intake is through the roof as I have been drinking three 32 oz mugs of water a day. It's little steps that are making a big difference. I have adjusted to my new normal and I am extremely proud that I have stuck with it!!

75 Days and counting!!! It will be here before I know it!!! Wheeeeeee!!
