I am feeling like celebrating small victories today! Sometimes the total goal seem SO far away, but I think that celebrating the little stuff makes it so much easier. Just as an FYI, I am halfway through the first week of phase II.

So here are my small victories today

- I can tell I have more energy because I am not needing as much sleep. I am waking up raring to go instead of dragging myself out of bed.

- I am down 8.8lbs, that is 12% of the way to my MAJOR May 2011 goal. Not bad in two weeks!

- With all the veggies, and yogurt, my often-tempermental stomach is happy.

- I am wearing pants at work today that would not zip when I started SBD.

- I am not feeling beholden to food anymore, and finally can tell when I am actually hungry and when I only think I am and will just end up grazing like a cow.

I'd love to hear everyone else's small victories!

I don't crave bad carbs.
I wake up feeling refreshed.
I feel better about myself.


Note: I am rounding up on Phase I. I will add bananas on 9/18 'cause they are the only fruits we have in the house. Nuts with them should be quite tasty!

i've lost 25 pounds since starting at my gym on july 1.

bringing the total to 50 lbs. since March.

I bought a size 10! pants yesterday. and can button them (double!!)

i felt my iliac crest muscles today...without having to smash my fat...much.

my self-confidence is through the roof, which makes me a better person to be around.

Congratulations chubbybunny and all of you for your accomplishments! I always notice a big difference in fluid retention, especially under eye bags less noticeable, when I'm eating on plan.

Sounds like a lot of victories to celebrate! Sounds like we're a bunch of lighter happier folks in loose pants!
