Day 5 and weigh in

Got home a few minutes ago. I had to take a class today at the VA on getting my colonoscopy. Only the military could turn basic instructions into a 1 hour class, complete with slides and handouts. LOL

I know my weight had popped up over the weekend due to TOM, nevertheless I saw a 6 pound loss over the week!  Woot!  This diet feels very doable for 8 weeks (excepting the days of my colonoscopy prep) and seeing such a great result is encouraging me to stick with it.

Last night I found myself with a very high level of anxiety - I am still having periods of extreme anxiety despite my stress management class.  But they do seem to be less frequent and overall I am feeling more positive about most things in my life.  Employment & finances continue to be major areas of stress, but other things are feeling better.  My sleeping has improved on this new diet and exercise plan, which I think has served to make everything else feel more manageable.  

We have gone to the gym the past 3 evenings.  We're leaving town right after an early supper so today will be counted as a rest day.

Food yesterday:
B: 2 eggs and 3 slices of bacon
L: leftover roasted chicken and a salad
S: a slice of cheese
D: 6 oz sirloin, cauliflower au gratin, grilled zucchini and a beer 
S: 3 slices salami, 2 slices cheese
