Day 4, first major temptation

So today was by far my toughest day to stay on course. The second half of the day my work let us go into the field behind our building and just do what we want. Instead of getting some good exercise, I just sat on my butt and chilled. The tough part was the chicken wings, ham biscuits, brownies and cookies they offered. I'm proud of myself, I walked past those and chose veggies and fruits of the large trays they offered and drank ice water. It felt really good being able to say I chose the new me I want to be instead of the food that would make me feel like crap.

I definitely have more energy today and feel good. The scale said I have lost 8 pounds since I weighed Monday. It is most likely due to some water weight loss but I'm fine with that. No salt has been added to any food I've ate since I started eating right Sunday. On Monday night I had a horrible migraine headache. Nausea, vomiting and the whole 9 yards. I am blaming it on caffeine withdraws and stress from some not weight loss issues. Two days later, I already feel like a different person health wise. I never ate many vegetables or fruits before. Usually I would be trying to do low carb and avoided them. My body is loving the broccoli, carrots, watermelon, bananas, etc that I have been including in my diet.

Another day down with success...bring on tomorrow! todays caloric intake 1520
