Fluctuations

I know there's no way I lost 4.5 pounds in the last 2 days, but when I stepped on the scale this morning, it said 195.5.  I know it doesn't really mean anything, but it felt nice seeing a "1" back in the hundreds place.

On a positive note, I've made it to the gym every day since I joined.  It's only been two days but it's two days more than I went before and 660+ calories I wouldn't have burned.  And I've started eating - mostly healthy food.  I'm trying to go relatively gluten free.  

I also stopped at Lush for skin care.  Hopefully between the diet, exercise, and skincare, my dark, puffy eyes and acne will resolve.

Motivators:

1.  Kendall loves the day care

2.  It's 30+ min of quiet time

3.  If Doug pays for it, I don't want to waste it

4.  I want to look good for Doug when I see him

5.  I need to be healthy

Good mood but easily irritated.  Feeling better than I have lately.  Brain is still a little foggy.  I was tired when I woke up and it took a while to get going but I didn't feel drugged or need a nap during the day - I'm sure that's partly because of the coffee I had earlier.
