Hunger Doesn't Get What Hunger Wants...This Time

I'm half way to reaching my goal of losing 10lbs in the month of June, but I have yet to get used to the feeling of being hungry. It's a constant feeling and even though I'm eating, quite well actually, it's still difficult. My calorie intake is small and my trips to the gym are short. I don't have the energy to push heavy weights or even spend a significant amount of time doing cardio, but it seems to be working. I've gotten over the wall that was up for a long time and I'm confident that I'll actually hit my goal, and maybe even lose more.

I've been really really hard on myself lately. I was so into working out and losing weight last year, because of the fear of not fitting into that wedding dress. Now that the wedding has come and gone I've tried to loosen up a bit, but if I give myself an inch I will take a mile instead. So far so good. If it works I'm going to stick with it, and this is working. I'm not starving myself, I'm not on a crash diet, I'm doing what I know that I'm capable of. I am confident that I can do this and then some.

Aww honey you have done so well, I came across a photo of us from when we first met in 2008, and wowsers! You are one hot mama!

I am worried about you feeling sluggish and icky, have you tried drinking low carb protein shakes as snacks? I SWEAR by them. They fill you up and give you lots of protein for a great energy boost. Protein also takes longer to burn for energy so it keeps you going longer than most things you would eat. I drink at least 1 a day,and at night if I am having cravings and want something sweet I make up a really delicious one in the Magic Bullet, making it so thick I have to eat with a spoon. I also have recipes to make protein ice cream in the ice cream maker, which is great for me as I LOVE me some ice cream.

If you are interested and want some help with brands let me know!

Miss you!
