Day 2

I have caught myself several times today putting food into my mouth without thinking about it. And, I spit it out if it wasn't good for me or if I wasn't hungry. I'll admit thought that I did snack on a bunch of veggies today, but that is because I made homemade salsa and kept popping tomatoes and peppers. Does anyone know the difference between a jalapeno and a chili pepper? They both tasted pretty darn hot to me. Also, what is the difference between pico de gallo and salsa? Because, before I cooked the salsa to get it ready to can, it sure tasted a lot like pico and my husband loved it so much he wants me to make it more often. BTW - I canned 5 pints of salsa today. The fat- free homemade yumminess!

I've been so busy with work and so has my husband that I haven't been able to get to the gym like I wanted to. And, we are pinching pennies, so I don't want to have to pay babysitters (even if they were available, but school is back in session).

I am still panicking that I won't lose weight, even though it has only been 2 days. But, my motivation feels awesome, like when I first started a year ago. What is it about September that gets me motivated to lose weight? I also, finally, sent in the application to insurance to start the reimbursement plan again. I don't know why I procrastinated so much, but I sent it in. Once I get the go ahead to start the program, I have to go to a WW meeting every week or I don't get my money back.
