Today was absolutely, definitely easier. I don’t know if it’s that I mixed up the order in which I consumed my Optifast products (I hesitate to call it “eating) or if that it’s really getting easier. Let’s go with a good combo of both.

Today had me craving a massive helping of salmon sashimi. I don’t know why, but man, sashimi sounds good, with lots of wasabi. I guess there are worse things to crave?

It was interesting all the time we had this evening when we weren’t trying to figure out where to go for dinner, eating dinner, waiting at dinner…

I did my nails, started a crochet blanket, and we’re watching a movie in a bit. I’m still more tired than normal, but that’s to be expected. Is it possible my rings are looser?

I’ve decided on a couple of weight loss “rewards” that I’m going to indulge in:

• an “anchor” to wear every day, to remind me to stick with it. Probably a ring for my right hand.
• at 25 lbs gone: a haircut/style
• at 50 lbs gone: the new tattoo I want

I’ll decide more later… for now, baby steps.
