Wellness Challenge Week 3

This was a good week. I did great on journaling and feel pretty good about it overall. Thus far I am down 5lbs which is exactly what I wanted to lose, so yahoo for me. I don't feel like I've had to go hungry often during the day but I seem to go to bed hungry most nights. I don't mind it that much though. I have really been thinking about my eating habits and I want to keep some of the new habits I'm forming. I don't normally eat very many vegetables. I didn't realize this until I had to actually count them. Salads at lunch have been great and I'll probably continue to do that. I love sweets and baking but I've become increasingly picky about sweets. If I don't love it, it's not worth using my sweet day for it. Speaking of sweet day, today was the day. I made a very pretty red velvet cake with buttercream frosting. I thought the cake was slightly dry but otherwise it was worth my sweet of the week.

I know I start my weeks on Monday but since I knew I was making a cake to take to a friend's party today I didn't have a sweet day last week so I could have a sweet today and another day this week. It seems like cheating but I'm going to let it slide.

I have one more week of this! I'm excited to let a few things slide (cough*journaling*cough) to a couple days a week instead of everyday.

So, for those of you giving this a shot, how was your wellness challenge this week?
