New Week, New Victories
Andrew decided he was going to stop drinking last Friday so I told him I would stop as well. Hadn't had anything since then. I knew I would start feeling better right away, but I definitely feel like a whole new person after a week of sobriety. However, the gummies have definitely helped. Weirdest thing is that I am sleeping A LOT, which is entirely unnecessary. I think a smaller dosage of gummy might be better. I am averaging between 8-10 hours per night, haha. The earplugs help as well. Tomorrow we are out of the house at 7:35 again though so I had better be ready.
Obviously, my goals are a little different from Andrew's - I've always known that not drinking will help me shed the extra pounds. The first week is always my body getting accustomed to eating properly again. I am loosely tracking macros and not eating anything crazy. I'm also drinking coffee again, which is kinda nice. Not drinking enough water, but we will get there. Now that my body is clear of the alcohol, I started at about 181.6 pounds and have been hovering around 182.xx. I was hoping to see a different number soon. I was tempted to have some drinks Sunday but I really wanted to see the first big whoosh of weight loss naturally this week. Didn't make it - yesterday my weight topped out around 183. I did a little experiment last night and had some drinks. Of course, dropped two pounds overnight. *rolls eyes* I assume it will go back up when I go back to normal today but it's just annoying to not see the scale move. It's more annoying to do everything right and see it moving in the wrong direction.
Zeker has been with me for almost a week now due to his father going out of town. He had his first parade Saturday and he was so excited that I believe he only slept about two hours and then woke me up at 6:30am. It was a fun performance and I'm happy I could enjoy it without his father or Stephanie around. Speaking of, things seem to be taking a turn in that household and I'm here with my popcorn for the show. Lucas doesn't usually stay with a woman for much longer than this so I'm expecting things to start getting more tense than they already are. And if I file paperwork, I am not sure how that will affect things. Maybe they will band together during the fight. Maybe Lucas will go off the deep end and dump her. Who knows with a narcissist? Zeker has been writing me all these texts after I fall asleep and they double as journal entries so at least we have that. But he's impatient to go to court so I need to get on it. I emailed the lawyer last night and she called me today but I was working.
