Week 4, Day 2, Diet with Dianna

I didn't sleep well last night and finally went to sleep around 4 a.m., I slept until 9 a.m.  Sometimes that just happens. I'm tired tonight. I had two meals out today; the only homemade meal was breakfast. I am beginning to regret my dinner choice.  I did enjoy eating with my husband, it was sort of a date night...unofficially.

REVELATION KNOWLEDGE:
With each new day and each pound lost, people begin to notice a difference in my appearance. They aren't quite sure what is different, but they can see something...or the lack of something.  My family knows that I'm dieting and because they are with me every day, they don't see the change like someone who only sees me once a week.
Today was different, my daughter said that she could see a difference in my skin...it looks healthier and my thighs look smaller. This is good! If they are starting to see a change, then I'm finally losing enough weight to notice.
When people notice, it's like a B-12 shot, it give my emotions a boost of energy. It is encouragement for me to keep going. No matter how tough a day or even a moment might be, I need to keep going. Every little word of encouragement is appreciated and inspiring.

Exercise:
None today. Didn't have my swimming buddy so I took a day off. Tomorrow, I'll swim.

Breakfast:

Half a slice of Oroweat whole wheat sandwich thin.
1/2 cup of Malt-O-Meal, with four blueberries, and one packet of Stevia in the Raw.
