The quest for happy imperfection…

This just in- weighed in at 206 this morning. That would be, that’s right, 2.5 pounds down from yesterday. Is it water weight? Yup. But hey, if I can whine about it’s arrival I can certainly celebrate its departure.

So today was a five out of five day. I got up early, I followed a meal plan, I tracked my food, drank my water, and Lucy and I actually doubled our walk to 40 minutes. That’s right, I put my @$$ kicking shoes on this morning

Food was pretty good again, I found that when I eat things that I feel are healthy, I enjoy them more.  My breakfasts are two parters (part at 8, part at 10) with a zucchini bran muffin first and scrambled egg whites (with one yolk) and broccoli later.  It just seems like it gets me off on the right start.  Add a little snack of some tune and a few whole wheat crackers and I’m not starving by lunch like usual.  I have to say that I am shocked at how full and satisfied I feel on so few calories. I’ve actually eaten 1300ish calories a day and not even been hungry for more, which is just ridiculous to me. Technically, I’m supposed to be eating around 1680 calories a day, and so I am eating low. But, I know that it will average out and some days will be more. If not, I’ll start making a better effort to eat more. (HA! Never thought I’d say that!)

So I woke up early and… wandered around my house. I did a couple short floor exercises, but I honestly felt a little clueless as to what, exactly, I planned on doing. What a dunce. Oh well, these things come with time.

So, today’s recap- weighed in at 206, ate 1441  calories, walked Lucy twice as long, woke up early, drank my water, tracked my food, and planned ahead.

Excited about: 2.5 pounds, feeling good, planning a vacation, a cute idea for pumpkin carving

Meh: sinus pressure.
