Slow and steady wins the race

So yesterday was another really good day for dieting. I always eat some cheerios for breakfast at about 150 calories...I have lots of coffee. I went to the gym and ran a few miles (burned off 200+ calories). Then I ate some fake chicken(vegan) ....and that was around 160 calories. At that point I was ready for bed....so I took my nightly dose of nyquil and headed to bed. Unfortunately, one of the biggest side effects for me with a starvation diet is the insomnia. I have insomnia anyways, but the starvation makes it horrible. Even after taking a double dose of medicine I woke up at 11pm and couldn't go back to sleep. I decided to eat some cheerios and take more nyquil. It helped and I finally went to sleep. Unfortunately I wasn't able to hit 127 because of that and maintained 128, but I'm not stressing. I'm on the right path and that's what this new mentality is all about....Slow, steady, and faithful. This is my lifestyle change. I'll be 127 tomorrow though I'm sure. I'm trying to average about 3 lbs loss per week. That will put me at my goal in 2 weeks and my ultimate goal weight in a month. I'm targeting my 115 goal to be hit on December 3rd. I know I can do it. = ) Hope everyone is finding success in their dieting life as well. = )
