OMG. I am soooooo hungry. It would take an elephant to fill this gaping hole in my stomach. I ate all my calories yesterday, but was hungry all night and couldn’t sleep. Had my breakfast this AM and it didn’t make a dent. Exercised hard last night and did eat my exercise calories. Like I said yesterday, it is hard getting back on the horse.

I diaried for 3 days so far this week, so I am on a roll. The journaling really helps because even if I am not being good, it is sort of a reminder to at least try. However, when I am faltering, it is the hardest time to journal. It is a heck of a lot of work to track all those overeaten items. But, if I overeat and track it, then I can see that I wasn’t as bad as I thought I was. If I was worse than I thought, then it kind of jolts me into slowing the overeating down a little. It is a much better alternative than just moping about my inability to diet and beating myself up over it. I am also so thankful for all my wonderful CK friends. They really help me get back on track. They are all so positive and encouraging.

I see that CK ups your level of exercise as you go along. I was doing quite well at first, but then when it started expecting more, I was a little surprised. I am trying to put in more time at the gym. The weather is too cold to do anything outside. I am finding that I like my exercise more and more. I still always have to drag myself there, but it feels so good when I am done and it gives me so much more energy that I look forward to the next time.
