Day 3 Summary: Different from the last two

Today was very different from the past two days.  I found that I was hungry more today, and it was almost on cue with every 2-21/2 hours.  Monday and Tuesday I had to remind myself to eat my snacks, etc, but today I didn't need any reminding at all.  I even ate an apple during the day because I was hungry mid-afternoon.  This was the first day that I ate my serving of fruit.  I hadn't been purposely skipping them before, I just didn't want them.

Now that I've discovered adding ice to the shakes, drinking them "plain" isn't as nice.  I had a strawberry shake at breakfast, and the vanilla for lunch.  I finally placed the smell of the vanilla powder; it kept jogging my memory but I couldn't come up with it at first, but it smells a lot like yellow cake mix. I also had my salad and my two bars, and a chocolate shake for dinner.

I was terrible about taking photos today, so I'll entertain you with photos of my beagle instead.

I is solar powered...

Is my favorite man EVER going to come home?

This is a big box!  No snacks??

Anyways, I was down another pound today, so that makes the drop so far 3.1 lbs.  I drank around 120 oz of water again; I'd be curious to know what is making me so thirsty. Not that I mind though, I have probably never been this hydrated. 

I went for a massage last night as a midweek treat. Plus I had to use the gift certificate before it expired :-)  The lady was a little hard core though, I actually have a bruise on my shoulder from her "work."  Next time I get one I'm doing hot stones.  I never really understood what that was, and last night she used the stones for a little bit.  They are really warm and allow for more even pressure over an area.  

I also decided last night to stop procrastinating on certain things.  I am terrible about small tasks that can be done another time, so I just decided that whenever I feel that way about something, I'll just DO IT NOW instead. I started to procrastinate after my massage; I had been planning all day to stop by the library on my way home for a few books, but when I walked about of the spa I contemplated just going home and going to the library "later." As I drove out of the parking lot, I decided that was ridiculous. 1.  I was 1/4 of a mile from the library right at that moment. 2.  There was no good reason to NOT go right then.  3. If I didn't go then, it just meant my to do list would be longer another day. So I went.  And I felt better for doing it.
