Day 3 started off good, I did feel hungry again when I woke up so I drank a glass of water, I try not to eat breakfast until after 9:00am just to keep it closer to lunch and make that gap smaller. everything seems good so far, I know its early in this trip but I expected to crave something by now if only because of the mental aspect of this.
I did start getting hungry around noon but held off until a little later to eat lunch which I thought to myself about how small of a lunch it was going to be, as we were planning on a bigger dinner (which didn't happen as the chicken had not thawed yet) so it looks like chicken tonight! (which is actually day 4 because I write in this blog the day after the day I am writing about when I wake up) .
Also I know I have only been doing this for 3 recorded days and a few days of just major cutting back before I started recording and counting exact numbers, but I have a huge case of cotton mouth! I wake up with my mouth all dried out! I am keeping a gallon of water next to the bed so that I can take a drink if need be. over all everything seems good and I am not having difficulty eating what I am eating thus far, so onto the Menu for Day 3!

Grand total of 1239 Calories for day 3 and feeling good, I can't say that I did much in the way of exercise other than play with my 2 year old all day. It has been low teens into single digit weather the past few days with it dipping 10 or so below with the wind chill factor says the guy in the plastic box, so there is no way I am bringing the baby out for a walk in that so I will have wait until warmer weather for walks.
