Day 12

Woke up this morning feeling fine. My daughter has decided to wake up super early now every day. At least all this week, so she was up by 5:30 before I could really get into anything. I let her roam the playroom while I had my quiet time. Normally she's beside me in her jumper. I took some measurements this morning. I've lost 2" in my chest so far, nothing on my hips and my waist is the same from the last update on it. I also lost another pound. Even though my waist is measuring the same, I'm going more off of how my body feels. I notice my jacket that I wear that's fitted, lays a lot better on my hips. When I pull it down, it doesn't take much effort. I fit in a little ChaLEAN Extreme Lean Circuit 2 this morning. The Lean phase is my favorite and most transforming, so I'm at it again! The beach will be here so soon on 5/2!

At one point before I got ready for work, I felt a little hungry, but then I forgot about it. I held off eating until noon to start my 6 hour window today through Sunday. It worked out really well and my days are going faster.

Afternoon: I had my snack at noon. String cheese and my old bay seasoned sunflower seeds. Yum! They have gotten better every day! I went to lunch at just about 2:00 and I wasn't hungry, but I needed to take my break. I decided if I got hungry later that I would take my shorter break before I left work and eat then. I ended up deciding that I was hungry about 20 minutes into my lunch, so I ate my chicken, butter, cheese and bruschetta lunch. It was tasty. I had no candy today even though the dark chocolate caramels looked delicious. I actually didn't really think that. Just thought, I've had my share during this time, now it's time to move them out.

I'm glad that I have done this experiment as I have to work my way up to this point. It's been pretty easy, but if I would've started out this way, it may have been more difficult. I've had time to adjust habits to get where I am and I can't believe that I'm not more hungry. The first day of my 8 hour eating window, I kept staring at the clock waiting for 10:00. It's gotten better since. It's really helping me to figure out habits. Reaching for candy because it's there, associating when to eat by what time it is. Yesterday on my way home from work I thought about AC&T's fried chicken. I usually have thoughts like that on my way home from work and I then try to figure out how I can make sure to have it very soon if not that night. I didn't feel the urge to go get some like usual, but I would still like to eat it. That and Friday's I associate with ordering out.
