Well, on Monday I get my first fill at 9:00 am; and I can not wait.
I need it, and I need it NOW!
The only thing stopping me from inhaling food is my will power, which at times waivers, depending on the stress of the day. I am trying so hard to deflect stress, it's not easy at times.
So I look forward to this much talked about restriction, and the side effect of a waning appetite. I will give a very detailed report on this experience on Monday.
Now for the discussion about the scale. I was so disappointed to see that the number did not budge. I did not weigh myself for four days (until I returned home) and I expected to see a 2-3 pound loss, and there was nothing, nada, zero, zip. sigh!!! But, I also have not broken a sweat exercising, pretty hard to do when you spend 12 hours traveling two out of four days this week. I know, this is an excuse... I need to figure this out, plenty of people exercise while traveling.
I am very close to moving into onederland, just a few pounds away.. this should be my motivation for exercise. I wish I had the exercise bug in me, but it is something that I still have to force my self to do.
Tonight I am going out to something called "Midnight Madness" in our cozy town, a Christmas shopping event, where as the hour proceeds, items in the little boutique shops along main street take on greater and greater percentage discounts... I guess if you can stay up all night, you've got a good chance to get a good deal.
The other bit of "FUN": news is we are scheduled to get a snow storm this weekend. Yuck. Not a fan of snow. By the way in the Philly area a snow storm = 1-3"s. Everyone runs out to "The Acme" to buy bread and milk, and to get a movie, because you know we might not have enough food to last a day. Yeah, that's why Philly is the city of the fat and happy.
Thanks for the words of encouragement on my blog! :) Nice to share experience/learn from others who have been through this. :)
ReplyDeleteHope you made it to the Acme in time! This made me laugh. I was remembering the one huge snowstorm in Philly that really did shut everything down - must have been around 1993-1995? We lived downtown and it was so cool to have NO cars in the streets.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the snow!
