Moving in the right direction.....
Mr. Scale says 224 today. Five stars for yesterday! It was a very physical day....got the van carpet cut and installed and the graphics design changed and partially installed/removed. DH decided (after days of planning and hours of design work) he liked the van better "plain" than with graphics added. So, I had to remove the design from the back and front. Luckily, I started small and didn't tackle the large side graphics first. I am glad he didn't wait until I was totally done to tell me he didn't like it. Men! He had been included in the design process from the beginning and was pushing me to go ahead with it. Go figure! I still love him, tho, because he actually made my job easier and I could move on to something else.
I've gotten to Day 14 on the Beck book. I am liking it. I now have a little notebook full of tips and stuff to read (Beck suggests reading them at least twice a day). Her suggestions on handling cravings are especially good! I used the techniques yesterday when on a few occasions I was feeling ravenous and wanting Chinese carryout (resisted) and then I wanted something sweet (resisted) and then I wanted beer (resisted). I made it through the whole day as planned and did not stray even though I wanted to. Yay for me!
