As I sit here and type this I wonder if I will get through the day. I'm so excited about losing weight but not excited about the journey to get to the destination. I know the first week is going to be the hardest and the most crucial. Cutting out the bad foods and eating clean, working out and getting enough sleep. My life as well as body need to adjust. Working as a manager in retail with flex schedule and 12hour days, really does a number on my mind and body. Then going home to a 11month old baby that likes to fight sleep and a husband that can sleep at the drop of the dime...... I know I can do this I must do this!!! Its only day 2 and my head is aching a little its probably going thru some kind of withdrawal of sugars.... I'm just venting but I know I got this... I know the first weight to go is water weight but I think its cool to see the scale down still.. Just finish eating my egg white muffins....ok i'm done.....for now

Do it one thing at a time. It's a tall order of all the things you're challenged with. Focus on getting one activity completed and then tackle another one. As a manager myself, it is hectic to juggle many things at once - it's a lot easier doing them in sequence if possible.
VENT VENT VENT and have a plan and execute it! This is such a wonderful supportive site but when you are working full time and have a baby - not so easy to just pop over for motivation so - eat mindfully and remind yourself regularly that food is for sustenance and keep that water bottle with you. The minute you start seeing that scale move will be the minute you know you CAN do this - and I am betting that will happen quickly!
You can do it :-D As for the energy - try advocare's Spark. It's sold on Amazon or through their distributors. I love it because it doesn't rely on caffeine, harmful chemicals, or sugar to give me a boost. It's pricey - $20-$55 for a package, but 100% worth it. Plus it means I don't need coffee, don't get a sugar crash, and makes the "withdrawal" (trust me, I'm still going through this...) from crappy foods much easier!
