Day Five

I weighed in at 263 this morning. Four pounds gone. Breakfast was the remainder of my egg substitute with two soy sausage links and a sprinkle of cheddar cheese. Tasty. Tonight I do my planning. Went brain numbed last night and didn't do any. That is one of the habits I'm trying to rectify - leaving things to the last minutes. In this case, the first small step is the awareness of last minute behavior. So - "Tonight, tonight", she said musically.

More to come later today.

2 p.m. at work
I did a lot of running around on my lunch hour. Totally missed sitting down and relaxing over lunch and had to solve the dilemma of eating out. Solution - I went to Chipotle's and got a salad.

Salad was lots of romaine lettuce, braised beef, grilled onions and peppers, just a little bit of pico de gallo (have to be careful of the carbs in tomatoes) and a bit of cheese. The server dribbled just a tiny bit of sour creme sauce and I had chipotle/honey vinaigrette. They serve it to you in a 2 oz container. I used half of it.

All together, it was just enough to make a moist and luscious and tasty salad. Had a diet coke with it and I'm good for the afternoon. I had to eat it at my desk which was a bit of an adventure but all in all a successful lunch.

Hey Annie! Here I am! Thought I'd slide into the booth and take a break from scrubbing! hehe
4 pounds!!! Yayyyyyy! I haven't even gone there yet, to the scales!! I'll have to though, that is a important step. I didn't do any sit-ups last night but this morning, YES! I did do some free standing exercises last night, bending down touching toes, stretching my arms and hands to the sky! kicking my legs up and marching! Phew, I hope there aren't any peeping toms around! I think I want to write everything I eat down, I've got my lil black and white composition book waiting for me by the couch + I have a red and white one waiting for my new poems! YES! Good Luck today with your planning and here's to jumping jacks for me later today! Here's to us and whoever else is going to lose weight! It's a hard battle but we won't win it unless we start it!

good for you annie! enjoyed the photo at the top too; so suitable for this type of blog. to go public was probably the last step to total commitment!

I have been keeping my struggle secret for a long time. You are quite right - going public has been a very good decision and the last step to total commitment and accountability.

Thank you Jacque
Annie
