Feeling Empowered!

I completed Day 2 of the C25K yesterday, and figured I'd be up on the scale again this morning, but I wasn't!  I was down to 255.6!  I weighed myself just now before bed and that said 256.4, which means tomorrow should be a good number!  I hope so, since it's my weigh-in day!

I've noticed that since being really good with my eating, I feel so much better...I have more energy, I feel more alert, and I just feel like my body is running more efficiently!  I'm surprising myself with the C25K program because I almost feel like it doesn't have the difficulty level that I could do right now.  Though that's about to change starting week 2.  I was thinking at first about skipping ahead, but have decided against it.  I want to do the program as designed, and don't want to risk injury or pushing too hard and it not being fun anymore.

Tonight I made beef roll-ups.  I got thin-sliced round steak, sprinkled them with Montreal-style seasoning, laid provolone and fresh spinach leaves on top, then rolled them up and stuck them with a toothpick.  I sprinkled the outside of the rolls with more of the seasoning, then baked them for 11 minutes.  They came out awesome!  I made green beans drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with grated lemon peel, too.  They were ok.  

I'm feeling like this is becoming easier and actually feels doable for me!  I'm fairly certain I'll be around 255 for my weigh-in tomorrow, maybe less.  And I'm starting to think that I could actually reach my first goal (under 250) by end of this month maybe!  Though I have to reign myself back in because I am trying to focus less on the number on the scale.  But it is exciting to feel so hopeful!
