Thank God for small miracles

Yesterday was the first day since starting this diet that I completely cheated. I basically went OFF the diet for the day. I still did the injection in the morning. I didn't wake up with the intention of blowing the diet for the day. I have had a very stressful couple of days and JR wanted to go out to lunch. We went to Pizza Hut. I treated myself to the salad bar (with dressing!) and 2 pieces of pizza. Later in the evening I went to a movie with a couple of friends and had popcorn, soda, AND candy.  I have to say, the salad and pizza tasted awesome but the junk food just didn't taste as good as I remember.  I hope this means that I truly am past the worst of the cravings.  After all that cheating I was prepared to see a gain on the scale today. I was just hoping that it wouldn't be too bad.  Amazingly when I stepped on the scale this morning I was actually down...yes, DOWN!  It was only 0.2 lbs but hey I'll take it!!  Today it is right back to the diet and hopefully a big loss tomorrow!  I am very thankful that yesterday's fun didn't derail my progress.  I will also say that I am beginning to notice a difference particularly in my abdomen. I feel like the weight is coming off from the right places. I haven't taken before pictures yet. I've just been too busy.  If I'm going to take them I better do it soon!
