Day 10

So those of you following this will be going, "She didn't do day 8 and day 9." And you are obviously right, hahaha. But I decided that at this point, doing it everyday would be more of the same "I feel great!" kind of stuff. So I'm going to check in every couple of days from now on.

So days 8 and 9 were tough for me, I'm not going to lie. Andrew had the day off with me on Friday, and we took that opportunity to get his truck worked on. We ended up going to my parents' house for several hours to visit, and then we brought the boys back to our house to spend the night. We stayed up late playing Clue, and if you saw my Facebook you know that we were awake when a drunk motorcycle rider had a very bad accident in front of our house. Andrew was so calm and wonderful during that, he ran outside to help and called 911. I stayed in the house with the boys, we could hear the woman that he apparently knew that was driving in the car behind him crying and screaming and knew that he wasn't conscious. I didn't want them (or myself) to go out and have him end up being dead.

He did wake up eventually, all we know for sure was that he was bleeding from his head and that his ankle was broken. I'm sure there were other injuries, he was not wearing a helmet. It was horrible.

Saturday morning, we got up and took the boys to get their hair cut, and then we just hung out around the house for a few hours. We made them lunch, some fish sticks we had in the freezer. Oh. My. GOSH!! They smelled so good, and it was so hard to have that smell in the house, haha. It was a tough weekend of cravings for me, it literally felt like it was day one again and all I could think about was food. Andrew didn't have any major issues with cravings, but I was really struggling.

Little victories were noticed this weekend that made me remember why I was doing this in the middle of those cravings: my watch and rings are looser. When I crossed my legs at one point, it felt different, like there wasn't as much fat in the way. Having more flexibility when propping my leg up on the dashboard in the passenger seat of the car. And I can feel part of my jawbone without having to push in through face fat.

Small things, I know, but it's those little things where I'm not even thinking about it and they pop up and it makes me so excited!

All-in-all, it was a great weekend. Hopefully the cravings aren't going to rear their ugly head like that again, that was really tough. I hope you all are having a wonderful weekend!!
