Week 1- Day 5

I've increased my calorie goal to 1500 for 2 days now. I haven't made it but I've definitely upped my intake and I have to say I do feel better.
Aside from feeling more energetic, I feel...how do I explain this? Have you ever gotten up one morning and just felt "lighter"? I know I didn't just suddenly lose 20 pounds overnight but that's kinda what it feels like! I'm sure the extra energy has something to do with it. I forced myself to NOT get on the scale this morning simply because I wanted to hold onto this feeling all day!  
Yes I get on the scale every morning. I know I can't go by what it says day to day, but it's like a morning reminder of what I'm trying to do. If it's a little lower than the day before it makes me feel positive and ready to push even more to make it keep happening. If it's a little higher, it makes me focus a little more that day on what I'm doing. Just a psychological trick I guess! This morning I decided I didn't care what it said. The only important thing today was the great way I felt! I already know this weekend isn't going to be my best weigh in, so I'll just do my best to eat right and stay as active as possible. Shouldn't be a problem considering I'll be doing yard work with the babies and 3 dogs tomorrow, and Sunday I'll be at their house helping get things "ready for the new baby to come home"!!! 
Oh, since everything is upside down and hectic right now, I've decided to wait until next Thursday or Friday to start the ChaLean program formally. By then things will be settled down some and I'll be able to make sure I have time scheduled daily
