Feeling pretty good. Got on the scale this morning and am down 2lbs and a few ounces from Monday morning (it's now Thursday AM), so the results are starting to show. Jeans still don't fit comfortably, but that will come.

Read a cook book for new ideas last night before bed. Not a good idea. Seeing all the recipes with cheese, potatoes, bacon, and breads were all a little bit too much to handle right now. However, did find an awesome recipe for a Moroccan Chicken and Chickpea stew that will be bootcamp friendly!

Cravings are definitely there, but I am working very hard to control my environment so they are not made available to me. I don't know what I would do if someone waved a piece of pizza in front of my face. In that situation (right now), I cannot be held responsible for that person's safety :)

I went to a meeting last night and the hostess was nice enough to have all the goodies in the kitchen. I knew that, so long as I stayed out of the kitchen, it would be easier. I am proud to report that I did not eat the cookies she offered! That is HUGE for me!

My girlfriends have organized that we get together on Friday night for a movie night. I made it very clear that I wished that it did not revolve around food. They agreed, thank GOD!! Having this blog will help with things like that because, if they read it, they will understand my efforts into it and true friends won't sabotage your efforts. Others will try - trust me! But true friends won't.

Have a FANTASTIC day (because I know that I will!)
