Good morning all!
And happy anniversary to you Marie! I'm sorry to hear about your back, I think the walking is a great idea! What kind of Jeep do you drive? I used to drive a Wrangler, and I loved it. I miss it, even though I do like my current convertible.
Nikki, I think you are right about it being just water fluctuation. Did you go away somewhere fun over the weekend?
Cacmsc, good job on turning down the coffee cake -- that takes real will power and it sounds like you had that in spades. I can't believe a friend would pressure someone to eat CAKE of all things -- and a store-bought one no less! Way to go on making your own choices!
Yesterday was my Day 7, and it was right on plan with ~1350 caloris and 30 minutes of walking.
This morning I weighed in -- I've lost 9 pounds this week!
Just goes to show how bloated I was from all the crappy, salt-laden food I was eating. Given how much I was binging at the time, I could have had almost three pounds of food actually IN my stomach when I first weighed!
Anyway, I'm happy. I know it's mostly water at first, but given how good my deficit has been every day and the fact that I've worked out every day this week I'm betting at least 3 to 4 of it was real body fat. I can definitely feel the difference in my clothes -- getting rid of the bloat is SO nice!
So week one is over. I'll never have another "day one" and I'll never be as fat as I was on that "day one" (the power of positive thinking don't you know). Yippee! Onward to Week Two and hopefully it will be as healthy as the first one was!
