So - only one pound.  Not good.  I am totally not satisfied with that.  My goal for the program is 30#, so I need to really see bigger numbers right away.
I need to change my diet in a BIG WAY.  I am going to make a big shift in the way I eat.  I am only going to eat when I am hungry.  Weird, right?  Well, too often I find myself eating because it's dinner time.  I am afraid of letting go of food.  No idea why.  Just is like that.  That has to stop.  I try and justify it a million ways, "If I wait until I'm starving, I'll overeat." "My body needs fuel to keep the workouts going."  "If I get too low then my metabolism slows down too much."

Well, if I undereat, I will deal with that IF it happens.  My new goal is 1000-1200 calories a day.  Starting right now.  To that end, I am no longer writing breakfast, lunch, dinner.  I am not going to lump snacks into one (instead of scattering them throughout the day).
