Confessions of a Veteran Dieter

First off, I’d just like to say how I looooove my digital scale. Why? Because it give half-pounds.

I’ve resigned myself to the fact that the morning a couple of weeks ago when I weighed and the scale said I had lost a total of 11 pounds (after weighing the previous morning and  it said I had lost a total of 8 pounds) was a fluke. It was water weight; it was something other than true weight loss.

So this morning I am at 10.5 pounds gone. Doesn’t that sound so much better than just 10?

All in all, I’ve set out to do what I wanted to do in the month. I’ve exercised three to five pounds a week. I’ve kept my calorie intake inline with what’s on SelfDietClub.com. And I’ve lost ten pounds.

So now that I’m in month two, I’d like to lose another ten pounds. This past week I wasn’t an angel when it came to food, but I didn’t totally gorge either. So I’ll be approaching next week with renewed focus on my meal plan. Exercise is a no-brainer. I just get up and do it. Meals take more planning, so I’ll be spending some time this weekend evaluating what those meals need to be this week.
