Its worth it! Keep up the great work! 

How often do you get tired of watching what you eat? If it's happening a lot you may want to consider incorporating spike days into your program. I find that have a weekly day where I give myself permission to eat whatever I want is the mental break I need after 6 days of being faithful to my program. I usually do still log my food after the fact, but for things like vacation, I don't require myself to log it. In the long term, 1 day of high calories doesn't undo 6 days of good choices. You could do them less frequently if you wanted to, but as I said, the mental break is a huge deal. I don't want to wait a year to be able to eat donuts again for example, but I can wait 6 days. :) 

I just have to add...you are gorgeous. ;) 

Thanks! I needed to hear that. I actually miss the comfort of food. Well, I guess it's why I'm here!! LOL!!! But I'm moving ahead and NEVER looking back!!!  

Thanks so much, kstubblefield!! That was so sweet!! Saturdays are the days I eat what I want. I still log it though. The only thing is, I still second guess what I eat. I don't deprive myself of anythng or else I will BINGE BIG TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think one night a few months back I ate an ENTIRE block of break and bake cookie dough. I went 2 weeks with NO sweets and just snapped!! But I soooooooooo look forward to Saturdays!!!  

Are you taking any vitamins, they may help with the tiredness. Also, when I gave up coffee and other drinks for Lent, I ended up weening myself off the caffeine. I have more enduring energy if that makes sense than when I used to spike and then crash and spike and crash. I should think about spike days, but right now what I do is have a lil mini bar when I feel the need. Those bite size mini bars like krackel and special dark.....the thing is you have to STOP at one or two or its over. If just knocks out my craving and its only 45 calories. I mean it could also be the reason i am not losing as fast but I get to have a little special treat every once in a while. I guess I have to get what I get in terms of weight loss because of these treats. I just can't for the life of me just give up everything. oh lordy...I am rambling but I am seeing the progress. I will be putting up my stats at the end of the week. My first 30 days of p90x.  

StephanieWard- I seriously laughed when you said, "Oh Lord...I am ramblilng..." That was so funny!! LOL!!! But, no, I don't take vitamins. I really should. I only drink half a cup of coffee in the mornings. I could actually do without it but I think I'm just stuck in my habit. I need to get to bed earlier also. I stay up late all the time. But I also try to eat whatever and not deprive myself. This morning someone brought in cinnamon rolls and I pinched off a very small piece just to taste it. I was fine with that. I still log everything whether it's big or small. This weight is coming off slowly but surely!!
