Waking up early is okay

So this whole week I have been beating the alarm clock. Go figure. I NEVER beat the alarm clock. I am the queen of the snooze button. My clock is set 11 min fast on purpose. And yet I have been beating the alarm clock. Have the nerve to be waking up around 6 am ON MY OWN. My husband does that all the time and I girl could get used to this. Especially since I am saving about 20 min in the morning since I'm not cooking breakfast. And I told me mom about the program I have started. Initially she was worried about me being on such a reduced calorie intake but she was okay with it once she saw how often I was being monitored. And she has pledged to stop asking me to dinner until I let her know its okay. I made it thru the forth sans BBQ safely. Luckily hunger has not been a major issue. Especially since I have my trustly suger free jello to satisfy my dessert cravings. My mom was also concerned about me getting bored with the food selections. I had to remind her that I am the same person who had mac and cheese with broccoli for dinner almost every day for a year at my great gransmothers house, and that I was still eating the same meal over and over for months on end for breakfast. It was just easier that way. The only time I would really mix it up was when we went out to eat. Which on hindsight prob didnt help my previous weight loss efforts. So as far as the meal replacements go - soup is out becuase its too salty, pudding is in because it gives me the illusion of having something solid, mocha is out, chocolate is in, as is vanilla and hot chocolate. Next meeting is on tuesday night. I decided to use the Virtual model to show my progress instead of posting up my actual pics (still taking the pics, just not sharing online). I'll keep the begining one up so I can remember where I started and I think I shall post a second with whatever my current weight is. So once I have my weigh in after week one on the program I can see how far I have come. BTW - staying off the scale until tues is killing me.
