This is cause for celebration, me sticking to something for a week. I just don't do that kind of stuff. I dropped six pounds and I feel better. The immediate gratification was and is motivating. I was VERY tired yesterday at the end of the day but I don't mind being tired at the end of the day so much because then I can do what normal folks do, go to bed and go to sleep...hee hee hee.
I felt great this morning at 5:30 when I got up and weighed myself so I cleaned the kitchen since I was too tired to do it last night. Yesterday I went to the gym for my Lunch Hour Workout. It was great. Without what used to feel like artificial energy I feel my body working more and yesterday I felt I was losing weight, fat maybe, who knows. But I felt like when I weighed in I would be at a loss. I brushed past this weight in June but now I want to hang around it and move down some more. I am not getting hung up on numbers but it is motivating to see. I took my measurements (yikes) but I am not going to take them again for another week or two. None of my clothes are tight. I have an old mini skirt from 1990 - an eighties stone wash denim - that I could use as a try on, but I am not sure it will ever fit again. I squooshed into it when I was this weight in June so maybe I will use it as a measurement. I seriously doubt I'd ever go out of the house in it but it would be fun to see it fit.
Have to run, it will be a busy day at work so I wanted to check in early. I noticed that this week while depleting I did several tasks that I'd been putting off, like cleaning the bird cage, getting the headlight fixed on the car, little things that had nagged me. I like that feeling of just getting it done. I am not sure the relationship between that and my new healthier way of eating but I think there is one.
I am off to change the porch light, it has been out for maybe a year!!
More will be revealed.....
PS - File Room Workout update: 45 push ups in my 10 a.m. session - 3 sets of 15 with yoga and physical therapy in between. woo-hoo!! a new record!!

Love the fireworks! You did a lot of exercise this 1st week, too. Great job! You will really notice your energy coming back now that you can add the healthy carbs back.
