Well, after a day of questioning comes the day of reckoning. When I weighed this morning, I had lost a full pound (in addition to the 0.4 lost the other day!). I honestly thought that this morning would show a gain. I didn't exercise long yesterday, because it was rainy and yucky outside. I managed to climb the stairs to the loft (and return the bottom, rinse, repeat...) for ten minutes or so. I made vegan cookies and ate several of them before I could stop myself. We had mom's famous meatballs for lunch, and a kale/romaine/avocado salad loaded with Caesar dressing. I felt like yesterday was a fat day. And then lo and behold! The blessed electronic scale showed a pound lighter!!
Lesson learned: never give up. When you least expect it, a triumph will manifest itself and encourage you to stay with the challenge a bit longer.
Shortly, I will be heading outside to take advantage of the beautiful day.
Total pounds lost: 1.4
Pounds to goal in Phase One: 3.6
Total exercise on Thursday: 10 minutes
Total exercise for the week: 115 minutes
Tune in tomorrow. Same bat time. Same bat channel.
