It's finally happened or at least I've finally noticed it.
Yesterday was a long day, my daughter has been sick and she had her first tutoring session. I planned to have a light dinner but at the last minute I had to take her to the doctor because she was crying with an earache.
Then we had a battle with the pharmacy after going to the doctor. They were understaffed and said they couldn't fill the script till this morning but I told them that was out of the question cause she has a infection and needs the medicine then. So I ended up taking her scripts to a different pharmacy. Anyway... to make a long story short...
It started getting late, my husband called and asked if I could just run by Little Caesars and pick up a hot & ready pizza before coming home.
This is the first unplanned meal that I've had since I started. It scared me at first because I was so hungry and I was afraid I'd eat too much of it. I usually keep a snack in my purse for times like these when I get hungry, so I don't feel ravenous when its meal time. But when I went to grab my snack it was gone and that's when I remembered that I forgot to refill my purse after eating the last snack.
I stopped and got the pizza, took it home and on the way home I decided that I was going to eat salad before eating some pizza. I keep a bowl of salad in the fridge so I can grab some when I want it. Its a easy go to snack or lunch. I also keep grilled chicken in the freezer in individually portioned baggies so all I have to do is pop the baggie in the microwave.
So I ate my salad when I got home and ate 2 slices of the pizza. Then I noticed something great. I was satisfied and I really didn't want anymore pizza. It does happen eventually, it really does, my stomach has finally shrunk. It made me feel really good.
I logged the calories I ate and still had room for dessert.
And to top it all off. I stepped on the scale this morning and I was down a half pound.
