Day 7 VLCD - Energy, Girls

It was a good day today. I wasn't craving anything and I drank all my water even before leaving work. So, 80 ounces in before 3:30pm. Cool! I wonder if I'll be able to drink even more than that. Hubby drinks a gallon or two everyday. I can't imagine taking in that much water. I think what I'm doing is great, for now.

I also had more energy than I've had since the beginning of this program. Could it be that the fat flowing through my blood is finally doing something to benefit me, for a change?

Observations: I had some more grape tomatoes for dinner. I really like them and the fact that I don't have to deal with seeds. They're tangy and hearty but, unfortunately, the go bad quickly. I'll have to remember the next time I buy them to eat them in the first couple of days. Lately, when I've opened the container, I have to throw at least 3 away because of over ripeness.

My evening decaf is lovely. It's weird because I'm usually a tea drinker. In fact, I bought my favorite teas over the weekend to enjoy at night. I'm sure I'll get to them but, my evening Folgers is making me very happy. Who knew?!

Here's what I did today:

At 177.2, this morning. I checked my weight graph and pulled a year's worth of data. I was this size last October, just before I went home to Nashville to visit my girlfriend. This "decade" of weight is one that I reside in a lot. Everything is going so well, so far but I am feeling a bit of anxiety about stalling in the 170s. If I do, at least I know how to get past it.
