Day 3- ATTACK

So yet another day is coming to a close, hard to believe I am already 3 days down and my goal seems so far away, although I am very happy to report I am down a magical 10lbs. in just 3 days. That just shows you why they call this the "attack" phase. You jump right in and from the beginning the results are surprising. I haven't really come across any hardships as far as cravings, I just find, when I am cooking the sides and veggies for my husband, that I miss them, naturally, but who wouldn't. It's funny how you can learn to take the reigns back and control what your mind "believes" it needs or wants when truly it's all a lie. I have also been incorporating 30min walks into my schedule and I have been involving my family, my son especially loves it.                                       
As for today, I ate vanilla no-fat yogurt and my oat bran for breakfast, a glass of milk for a snack, a baked chicken breast for lunch, a piece of the leftover fish from last night for an evening snack, and finally, 2 small pork chops, all fat trimmed off and topped with a mixture of plain mustard and basil(actually pretty yummy)for dinner. And I weighed myself after dinner so the weight will probably be different in a few hrs(fingers crossed).

On a side note and out of complete random rambling, there was an amber alert in Harrisonburg, VA today. A small one yr. old boy went missing and I know all you mothers, like I, feel that feeling in your stomach where, just for a second, you almost feel as if it's your child. Let's all not forget that while we get to cuddle up and kiss our wee ones that another mother out there is crying and struggling to understand why something so awful could happen to them. Let's send up an extra prayer for this small boy and others like him tonight and remember what a blessing our children truly are. Goodnight.
