Day 3: It's not rocket science, but ...

I just like it (and she kind of looks like me).</div><div align="center"><br /></div>In a nutshell, my "6-week , lose 10 pounds" plan so far:<br /><br />Sunday, Day 2 - 29.5 Points (good since my limit is 29 with using the APs and weeklies). I purposely stayed out of the gym and went for a 45-minute walk with my husband.<br /><br />Day 3 - 28 Points (if I don't eat another bite tonight and I think I can safely say I'm done eating for the day). I really struggled through my 90-minute workout this morning. It was like my feet were stuck in mud. I managed to burn 465 calories, but it was tough going all the way. Usually after five minutes I'm really into my workout. Not today. I wanted to go home and go to back to bed.<br /><br />What I've learned so far:<br /><br />Stopping binge eating, at least for the short run, is possible.<br /><br />Going to bed slightly hungry and falling asleep is possible.<br /><br />Journaling and counting Points is possible (and it works).<br /><br />Sticky notes with my short term goal of 152 placed within my vision in every room helps me stay focused. Me staying focused is possible.<br /><br />Sugar-free jello with fat-free yogurt and a few blackberries tastes great. Giving up sugar-free ice cream is possible.<br /><br />Getting to my 10-10-09 goal of 152 -- it's going to happen!<br /><br />I know what to do to lose weight, as does every single person reading this. We all know the secret formula for weight loss: eat less, move more. It can't get much easier than that...but it's still a struggle for me. Every second of every minute of every hour of every day of every week of every year. It's a big struggle, but one I'm determined to conquer.
