Today's post is probably going to be fairly short. It has been a fairly uneventful day. But with it being so much of just a "normal" day I have felt hungrier than ever it seems. My mood I'd greet and my energy is great especially for only getting five hours of sleep, but I feel so hungry today. But I'm dealing with it ok. I try to do things to keep myself busy, do I don't just sit here and think about food, but as I said before, when you have a baby that just wants to sleep in your arms all day, or sit in your arms and not be put down, it makes it hard to not sit there and think about food, since before, I'd go to the fridge and find some kind of unhealthy snack and much away. Sometimes I'd just have a huge and unhealthy meal, in the middle of the day, because I was bored and "hungry." It has been a bigger struggle today to not just fall into that habit.  I remember when I write smoking 8 years ago it was the same thing. The hardest part wasn't what the people around me were doing so much as the habits I had developed on a daily basis when I was bored, or on the computer, or driving my car. The distance this time is, being an ex smoker and going through that mental anguish once, assures me I am more than capable of doing it again. And honestly, the energy I have gained is great and makes me want to never feel exhausted and not wanting to do anything but sit on my butt, ever again. I am blown away by how alert, awake, and energetic I feel! Anyway, having a wonderful Saks if mustard greens and collard greens, cucumber, and celery, as well as shrimp and olives for dinner. The one lean and green meal I get a day is always so delicious, and makes me wonder why I haven't eaten like this always! Thank you to everyone who had sent me live and support so far in my journey, and a huge huge thank you to my health coach, Jenn, who not only introduced me to the program, but had been the most supportive of all! Love you all!
