Half Full

The glass is half full...of diet coke.  I went (nearly) 3 days with no soda but soon realized that I was going to be so much less productive than not at all productive, if I didn't get some caffeine in me STAT.  So I revamped my mad scientistist plan to better suite my needs.  Now I allow myself (with only minimum guilt) 1 soda a day.  It's delicous.

Today I weighed in at 188.5lbs.  That is 1 1/2 pounds less than this time last week, and 7 pounds all together according to myfitnesspal.  I am sticking (with much success I might add) to 1300 calories a day and 90 minutes of exercise a week to create a daily deficit of 800 calories and a weekly loss of 1.6 pounds.  Although I am right on track, and I haven't been hungry...my impatience is rearing it's ugly head.  And kettle cooked potato chip cravings have come along for the ride.  Impatience will use the chips to talk me into a bad situation if I am not careful.


Mountains that I have moved:

1. eating breakfast every morning
2. walking 3 miles at least 3x a week
3. recording EVERYTHING I eat
4. consuming 1300 calories (give or take) on a daily basis
5. drastically reducing the amount of soda that I drink

Holy Cow!  When I look at it all listed out like that, I feel kinda like a rock star!  Screw you delectable, crunchy, salty, (magical) goodness in a bag!!  I am going to continue to resist you.  :-}
