What A Difference A Day Makes

Day 17

I am feeling much better today. It appears that most of my issues are sinus related. I'll take that over a cold any day. My four hour nap yesterday kept me up until 3 am this morning. But, since I don't have kids, sleeping in is not an issue on the weekend.  :)

Today, I am totally back on track and back to my old self. The fridge is stocked for the week and Cardio is done for today. Tony took a picture to prove it.

It might just be me, but I think I look smaller. I definitely feel like I've lost inches. I put on an outfit this weekend that used to be so snug it cut off my circulation. I could barely wait to get it off. I was shocked when it fit comfortably.

I can tell you though that nothing will make me happier than when the day comes that the sucker is too big!

 One of my goals for this week is not to be a slave to the scale. I have a habit of weighing myself everyday. That piece of plastic, metal and batteries controls my mood and that's not a good thing. If it shows a loss I'm happy. If it shows a gain I freak out. If it stays the same I question the efficacy of my eating and my workouts.

If I know that I'm doing the right things then it doesn't matter what the scale says. If I'm not doing the right things, in my heart of hearts, I'll know it. This is a marathon and not a sprint. So, if tomorrow the scale says i weigh the same, I'm not going to sweat it. I'll keep doing what I'm doing because I know it works.

Another goal for this week is to lay off the nuts. I rely on them as a source of protein for mid meals a lot and they do add up over time. So, for this week, I'll allow nuts or nut butter for one meal a day only.

So let's recap. Fewer nuts and keep away from the scale after tomorrow. Those are good goals. I think I can do that. Here's to a great week. I'll post weight and measurements tomorrow.

Cheers!
