Slipping away
Tiny bits at a time. My total weight lost so far is 5 whole pounds. Five pounds in three weeks is, by my standards, not very impressive. But - I’d rather lose it than gain it!
I was actually surprised, because when I peeked at the scale on Wednesday (mid-week peek) I was UP a pound. I fully expected to see that pound still there on Saturday. So - happy day! when I saw it was gone.
I only made it to the gym once last week - and even though I did a great workout (burned over 400 calories!) once a week is just not going to cut it. I went again tonight, and I’ll plan to go each night this week. Three nights is my absolute bare minimum, though. This is the official week of Fat/Ugly, so there are at least two reasons to motivate me. #1 - Exercise can be a mood enhancer and I’d say that wouldn’t be a bad thing this week. #2 - If there’s the slightest chance for water retention and GAINING this week, well I think a little exercise will help curb that.
