WEIGH IN: This morning I weighed in with my pajama bottoms on, and before my bowel movement. I was disappointed to have gained 1.4 pounds. A little while later I decided to try again, and to my delight I had actually lost 0.8 pounds. That makes 2 weeks in a row that I have lost weight! I had been yoyo-ing my weight for 7 weeks previous. I now weigh 272.8 pounds, or 10.1 pounds less than when I started. This is the second time I’ve hit the 10-pounds-lost mark. Going forward the challenge will be to keep it off and to continue to loose more.
DIET: I am still enjoying my Asian cookbook immensely. Today I made a long, complex meal from a recipe for Hot Buttered Mushrooms. I had to make kecap manis and roast some cashews, plus fry up a bunch of mushrooms. The oil I used was the main thing that wasn’t on the diet. I want to try cooking the recipes as they are before I modify them. This one in particular I made to test it out ahead of the football party I’m thinking of throwing for Angela.
EXERCISE: I have found that while I can workout and listen to my textbook, I am much more focused on working out when I listen to my workout playlist. Because of school I haven’t been working out as much. I worked out on Tuesday and today this week. I spent 15 minutes on the bike each time, biking about 4 miles. Today I wore my black biker’s shorts and my white Harper Wilde sports bra, that was comfortable gear.
ACCOUNTABILITY: I am considering attending an OA meeting on Tuesdays at the clubhouse. Maybe. I am still reading some in my Food for Thought book, but not every night.
