Yesterday was boring as can be while still alive. I ate only 2 large russets and a carrot from my garden. The weight loss tally is good, so that’s very motivating. I’m beginning to get worried about the day when there’s an increase on the scale, and I hope that doesn’t come anytime soon.
Cold showers really suck! I needed to say that, but it seems to be working to increase the amount of calories burnt at work in my chair. Claire hasn’t yet decided that the cold shower thing is for her. Maybe she will and maybe she wont, I wont force a thing though. If she wants to then she will, it’s not up to me to bitch/preach/cajole or whatever.
Have to say I am a bit frightened by the prospect of the weekend. I like to relax on the weekends with a drink and some bad food. Something fatty and delicious, but not this weekend. This weekend I may deviate and have a carrot or two from the garden, they really are damn good and super clean. I also have a project I need to work on to be ready to go next week, so there’s plenty to do to keep me occupied mentally. I like to do some physical work though too, and that’s the challenge. I can’t work myself to a point of truly being hungry because I will likely binge on something and wreck all this great progress.
I know this stage is the most difficult, getting the weight gone. Overall, I’m not really hungry and Claire says she isn’t either. The prospect of having a giant potato if you are is actually comforting in that you know what to do, there’s no decisions about what to eat or falling off the wagon. It’s simple,.. and easy to stick to so far.
Today is day 3, and they say it’s the worst day of them all. It’s only started but I can say I’m motivated to keep it up looking at the results.
